Comments on: GOP Hopefuls Restrained In Iowa Debate

Fewer Fireworks Than Usual In What Could Be The Last GOP Debate Before Iowa Caucuses

[sgtrds]

Restrained? Restrained hell! This was not a debate it was a series of campaign speeches! Nothing about the war. Nothing about Immigration. Just one softball after another. Worthless waste of time.

bobmarisol is a bad American if he says Dems want us to fail in Iraq. Shame on you. You''re no Democrat. We Dems would LOVE to declare victory in Iraq and we don''t care who you give credit to. Just bring our soldiers home and stop throwing $$ in the moneypit!

Note, please, that none of these warmongers called for cutting spending on military aggressions.

You and I are supposed to kiss domestic programs good-bye while they continue to plow our treasury into a trumped-up war in the Middle East.

Under any of these candidates how many more cities will drown? How many more bridges will collapse? What will be left of our already-crippled right to privacy?

These people make me sick.

We all want to succeed in Iraq, but CNN is saying Congress is getting ready to approve another $700 billion for the war!! Why does Congress allow this. The GOP candidates say we need to cut federal spending; the Dems say they want us out of Iraq. What the $#%^ is going on???

We cannot afford $70 Billion for that! We need to get out of Iraq now. It''s killing us financially.

If you dont want another Republican in the White House, we as Democrats need to stand up and make sure that the USA loses the war in Iraq. The Democratic party has been against the war for so long that it would be disaster for us if the USA wins. And now that the troop surge has turned the war around, it is more important then ever that we abandon the fight. Thus we need to call our Senators and Representatives to tell them to bring our troops home NOW. WE CANNOT LET THE USA WIN THIS WAR -- IF THE USA DOES WIN, THEN THE REPUBLICANS WILL GET ALL THE CREDIT.

One comment said "Democrats have 2008 in the bag" -- as a lifelong Democrat, I am not so sure. We won Congress b/c of how things were going in Iraq. But since we took power, our Congress has gotten little if anything done. We are still in the war, and despite our efforts to surrender in Iraq, the Republicans have turned the war around and now the USA is winning -- THIS IS BAD FOR US AS DEMOCRATS BECAUSE NOW THE REPUBLICANS WILL GET CREDIT FOR WINNING THE WAR AND WE WILL BE SEEN AS WEAK IN THE WAR ON TERROR. I am afraid we have convinced the American people to vote Republican even though many people dont like Bush.

I''m very disturbed by the unwillingness of GOP to recognize the depth that Marxism is institutionalized in the Federal Government. Most of the Communist agenda has been implemented and is fully accepted/ supported by the Citizens. The American peoples have been deceived. They falsely believe they are free, but really they are slaves. We live in a defacto Communist State. We toil all our lives for debt instruments only to enrich the world banking elite while being subjected to the humiliation of a progressive income tax. We work all our lives to build our business, and when we die the USG confiscates half of our estates. No longer do we hold allodial title to our lands; instead we are allowed to have use of our property so long as we please the government. Every aspect of our economy is controlled through some facet of labyrinthine Federal and State regulations. All mass media save the Net is in the service of our self-proclaimed masters. We live in a country where the Communist Manifesto is implemented. Our governments dance to the tune of special interests rather than defend Liberty. (search for The Ten Steps of Karl Marx Implementation in America) But there is hope. Dr. Ron Paul will if elected President roll back the institutional Marxism endemic to the Federal Government by eliminating the income tax and signing into law legislation that makes gold and silver legal tender thus forcing the FED to peruse sound money policy.

They''re back!!!!! The "Men In Black" clones. You know what would be really nice. If all of these guys that don''t have a chance in h e l l of being president, would donate all of the money from their campaigns to charity and go home. That would be a doube blessing for America.

I''m very disturbed by the unwillingness of average GOP republican''s to recognize the depth that Marxism is institutionalized in the Federal Government. Most of the Communist agenda has been implemented and is fully accepted and supported by Citizens of The United States of America. The American peoples are good, but they have been deceived. They falsely believe they are free when in fact they are slaves, for we live in a defacto Communist State. We toil all our lives for debt instruments only to enrich the world banking elite while being subjected to the humiliation of a progressive income tax. We work all our lives to build our business, and when we pass away the USG confiscates half of our estates.

Every aspect of our economy is controlled through some facet of labyrinthine Federal and State regulations. All mass media save the Net is in the service of our self-proclaimed masters. We live in a country where the planks of the Communist Manifesto are implemented. Our governments dance to the tune of special interests even some that are foreign. (search for 10Marx_planks.htm)
But there is hope for America. Dr. Ron Paul will if elected President of these United States of America roll back the institutional Marxism endemic to the Federal Government.
