It’s why the founding fathers did NOT want a standing military force. They saw a standing military as the greatest threat to liberty possible and sought to maintain the rights of civilian militia and citizen-soldiers armed with there personal weapons to provide for a common defense.

I am through with voting for the lesser to two evils. I don’t like Barack Obama, but I equally despise John McCain for his flip-flopping, his hypocrisy, and his contempt for the First Amendment. I said more than two years ago, before he even announced that he was running, that I would never vote for him and I intend to stick by that.

For me, voting for John McCain would be “throwing away” my vote as much as voting for Obama would be — even though we both know that neither your vote nor mine is likely to decide who wins either Virginia, or the election so the concept of “throwing away” a vote is, frankly, a phony argument.

To take your argument to its logical conclusion I guess we should ban all third parties and prohibit people from running as Independents because, you know, they really don’t have a chance of winning. It would be consistent with Johnny Mac’s love for putting campaign finance in government hands.

And I don’t your question about whether or not I served in the military is relevant. We thankfully don’t live in a country where military service is mandatory — and hopefully that day will never return — and what career choice someone makes is theirs and theirs alone.

The race is between the Republican and the Democrat. Pick the one you think is better. No candidate is ever perfect, but the winner is going to be one or the other.

I know I’m not voting for Barack Hussein. But I’m not throwing my vote away, either. I’m pretty sure Johnny Mac gets it.

Doug M., just curious: Did YOU serve in any branch of the military? And if you did not, then why not? I’m always rather selfishly (we all vote out of selfish interest to some extent) concerned about who is qualified to be CIC and the only one who looks qualified from this pathetic field (other than Ron Paul, who is out of this race now) appears to be Johnny Mac.

I concur with writing down Ron Paul’s name on the General Election ballot in November, but there are other viable choices on the ballot. For example, former Rep. Bob Barr is on the Libertarian Party ticket. He indicates that he wants stronger border enforcement and returning power back to the people. There is also Dr. Chuck Baldwin, who is running for the Constitution Party. Both of these candidates provide solid options in place of Barack or McInsane.

These are the same people that threw eggs at Sean Hannity. Actions like that tell me some of his die hard supporters aren’t to bright.

Personally, I’d rather hang out with people who throw eggs at Sean Hannity than people who believe Sean Hannity.

But, you know, that’s just me.

They are so blind because they will not see. But the scales shall fall from their eyes. And they will behold the truth should we one day see mushroom clouds rising over multiple American cities. On that day, these Empire lovers will have their hearts broken. That will be the day we pay the price for our hubris.

The outlook is bleak. There are so few of us who are awake.

Many did i meet with the Neocons mentality in New Hampshire. These sad people actually believed the lie that we need to fight them over there so that we don’t have to fight them over here.

Unfortunately, the Neocons have been seduced into believing we need to police the world in order to sleep safely at night. In their fox-news induced myopia they fail to see that it is our interventionist foreign policies abroad that are creating the enemies we face on the battlefield and will face here at home.

They do not understand that they are coming here to kill us, precisely because we are over there sticking our nose into their business.

Neocons do not love these United States. For these United States is a constitutional Republic. Neocons love empire. Greg in particular loves the idea of a Christian Theocratic Empire disguised as a constitutional Republic.

Thanks to the fear and ignorance of the electorate, the neocons have hijacked our foreign policy in order to ensure we never fail to control cheap and steady supply of oil. But the cost is a war with the Islamic faith. A war that could last forever and cost the lives of millions.

I will say this Ron Paul and Bob Barr would be better represent my views than PortaJohn or Obama. Although the libertarians lose me when it comes to the issues of the war and foreign policy.

I think most have a problem with Ron because he speaks TRUTH which is hard to swallow and because allot of his supporters may sound like they are out there on a limb with 911 truth tellers, etc.
You can’t knock the man because of his supporters. Heck if that is the case then you would have to rule everyone out.

And yes, the LA RAZA, was the nail in the coffin for my vote. ( I am on the fence as far as LA RAZA..MEANING that IF someone where to ask me about them, I can HONESTLY say I do not but what I have BEEN told. I didn’t like the sounds of it from the beginning, my view has not been changed, just saying that I am looking more into it. My gut tells me it’s wrong. I just need to prove it.

At which point I told the caller that my wife is voting for Edwards and I’m voting for Ron Paul. To her credit, she didn’t skip a beat and thanked us for our time and hung up. But, I’m sure that combination stumped her.

I’m still trying to work my wife over to vote for Ron Paul but she really liked Edwards’ populist ideas.

Your right,he is not endorsing McCain

“He seems more level-headed and knows his stuff…”

I AGREE! Just ONE video but I like his ECONOMIC approach.

“He” Who ?

Ron Paul or some idiot who sent out an email ?

Paul has never endorsed the crazy ideas of some of his supporters about “hijacking” the convention. Of course, he hasn’t, and won’t endorse McCain, either.

But then McCain isn’t really worthy of endorsement IMO
