Dennis Kucinic on "How to support the Troops"

Ron Paul on what he thinks about John McCain's idea of staying in Iraq for the next 100 years

And, what is the value of the money spent in Iraq for a single day.

Very interesting and thought-provoking.

1. Ron Paul is a nutbag of the highest order.

2. Missed the important stuff, huh?

What a simplistic and irrelevant post.

3. That youtube channel is peddling his bullshit.

One of us missed the point of this OP and it was not me.

4. So, you perceive this video as being all about Ron Paul?

I perceive it as the misappropriation of much-needed dollars that should go towards our infrastructure (health care, education, etc.), but is instead being used to support an illegal invasion and occupation.

If Michelle Malkin, Michelle Bachman, and Glenn Beck made the same video, my perception would not change.

5. Thanks. Glad to know that people still care

The naive comments like the one to which you replied were expected.

7. Unfortunately, some people have to bring it back to petty politics...

No matter if they have to ignore the even bigger, more important messages. Apparently, partisan politics are more important to some people, and that goes for the left as well as for the right.

12. No, he really isnt.

You may not agree with Ron Paul's policy decisions, nad you may not like him, but he certainly in not a nutbag.
As someone who is staunchly opposed to many of his ideas, I believe that he is perhaps more honest, thoughtful, and coherent than 90% of the elected Democrats. Nutbag he is not...

6. I think it's great that these kinds of videos are being made and distributed...

via YouTube.

It's very comforting to see how many other people are 'getting' what's going on in the world and the role the US is playing in it. If only there was a way to convert the so-called 'patriots' on the right to study these facts instead of dismissing them... That would make a whole world of difference.

8. War is a racket as they say. It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.

Thanks for posting.

9. Rings a bell???

Naturally, the common people don't want war, but after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is to tell them that they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.
