Let's take our country back. Let's get our troops back home. It is high time to start prosecuting those who sell our country out to foreign governments. AIPAC serves a foreign government and has no business running ours. Ron Paul is the spark and we need to be the fuel. Let’s take our country back. Let’s get our troops back home.

Ron says that he takes his marching orders from the Constitution, and he later adds that the invasion was a violation of international law. Here is what Ron said: <i>I’m saying we should take our marching orders from our Constitution. We should not go to war — (cheers, applause) — we should not go to war without a declaration. We should not go to war when it’s an aggressive war. This is an aggressive invasion. We’ve committed the invasion of this war, and it’s illegal under international law. That’s where I take my marching orders, not from any enemy.</i> to Jenkins:

Answer: It doesn't matter. We can't care about them. We must have our honor back." We never bought the line "either you are with us or with the terrorists" and we ain't buying it now. Lives are on the line and all Mr. Huckabee cares about is saving face. Well, sir, what if we can never leave that country with honor? We certainly can't do it now. What then? How many have to die before you are man enough to admit a mistake? Sir, you sicken me. “How many Americans have to die in this war before Mike Huckabee saves face? Answer: It doesn’t matter.

No thanks. What we need is a controlled debate that lasts longer than 2 minutes. My understanding is that the Lincoln Doublas debates lasted hours, and the people sat through them. Good for the citizens back then! If you just have two guys with no rules, you get people talking over each other, and the person with the loudest voice wins. No thanks.

After all, his fabulous style did win the debate so I read above.
