    Default Why would the GOP want a warmonger nominee?

    I have heard that polls show about 70% of americans want us out of Iraq.

    Yet the GOP is going to nominate a warmonger.

    How could such a move possibly be of ANY benefit to them?

    Is the party imploding before our eyes?

    Do they have control over the voting machines?

    Though I hate to even entertain the thought, it has crossed my mind that the only way a GOP warmonger nominee will stand ANY chance is if there is another attack on another US city not long before the election.

    Thoughts?

    That is exactly why I think the republicans are insane for not picking up on Ron Paul. If they pick anyone else the democrats will win the election hands down. They're incredibly out of touch with the people.

    I've honestly never seen such a disconnect. I'm no alarmist but it's starting to get spooky. Some of the stuff they were supporting last night terrifies me... ID cards, torture, not allowing detainee’s access to lawyers! What is going on?

    By the way, did any of you catch that one guy that mentioned he didn't have foresight? How does someone become an effective president without foresight? It's like he was proud of the fact he can't see the warnings and make decisions on the information he is given.

    I'm always afraid of using the word fascist but damn, it's starting to look like it.

    Fascism?

    For those who haven't seen this movie yet...

    America - Freedom to Fascism

    Ron Paul is interviewed about half way through.
    "If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will Lose its freedom: and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that, too."

    - William Somerset Maugham
