It must be because they figure Bush will begin to pull troops out in the next few months and by election day in 2008 the war will not be as big an issue.

Because they are all afraid to buck the "party line".
Ron Paul doesn't need pseudo-patriotism
and sycophant TV networks...
Ron Paul speaks the TRUTH,
and that's what is going to get him elected
President in 2008.

Apparently the rest understand consequences better than Ron Paul does. Not to mention it is the right thing to do.

Republican candidates respect President Bush as the titular head of their party. Thus, they support the decision of the President as a party commitment.

Because they know that if we pull out, there would be a mass genocide in Iraq hundreds of thousands would die at the hands of the terrorists and fundamentalist we are trying to get rid of. It takes time folks. Toughen up. NEVER give victory to your enemy. It will make you weak, it will empower them. They donot just want us gone... THEY WANT US DEAD. This is not beause of the war, it is because we do not force our citizens to pray to allah and make women hide under scarfs.

Ron Paul is a libertarian running under the Republican ticket. He is not to be taken seriously. Staying in Iraq is the right thing to do, so Ron Paul must be wrong again.

i think its because they know that we are doing some good over there the news doesnt want to show the good going on they just want us to see the bad. and be revolted enough to be againts it. i think we need to stay over there and get the job done show the world that we dont give up so easily. Look what they did to us. They need to know that we dont back down for anything!!!!

Because Paul is more of a Libertarian than a lemming GOP.
