with 70% of americans against the iraq war, if the election comes down to hillary vs giuliani, who is the anti

Question

if it comes down to giuliani vs hillary, who is the anti war crowd suppose to support? everyone knows rudy's stance. hillary said this sunday morning on all the news shows she wouldn't remove troops from iraq.

do we not have a say in what goes on anymore or what? this is why they have tried to shut down ron paul from the beginning. he is the only one that can beat hillary. how can republicans expect to win with 70% of americans wanting out of iraq and they still continue to bang the war drums.

ron paul is the only republican out of 10 candidates that is against the war. that is why he will win the nomination. the other 9 candidates have to split their support amongst each other. ron paul gets ALL the anti war crowd. what democrats have said they would get out besides kucinich, who has no chance. none of the dems have a chance. the dem nominee is hillary. period. the only way the republicans can beat hillary is to nominate the anti war nominee ron paul.

Answer 1

Hillary is going to start the draft. And it is about time!!! A lady's scorn, and such.

Answer 2

Elections these days are all about money and image. I admire the stance Ron Paul has made in the Republican Party, but he will undoubtedly never win the nomination because of his lack of money and lack of image. In this age of television, the voting public usually selects that candidate with the most charisma, the best image.

This is why Kucinich is virtually ignored in the Democratic Party, even though he stands for everything the voters want. This lack of money and image will probably defeat Ron Paul.

If Guiliano had not rolled up his sleeves and appeared to be heroic during 9/11, he would not be a viable candidate at all. He used television to make himself appear to be more than he is, a hero among the rubble, a "take charge" guy.

Hillary, too, uses "image" to her advantage, bringing in the highly popular Bill Clinton to emphasize her impact on the crowds, her connection with a former president who brought us such prosperity.

With Americans strongly against the war, perhaps the Democrats should take another look at John Edwards. As for Republicans, they will vote for either the supposed "heroism" of Guiliani, or the unlimited funding of Romney. Unless the American people display more intellectualism and common sense than usual, it's in the cards.

Answer 3

Ron Paul will not get the republican nomination. Period.

Truth be told, the next president - regardless of party affiliation - is not going to pull the troops out of Iraq. The consequences of such a move would be devastating, both political and for any future foreign policy influence we might retain - let alone the chaos and slaughter that would inevitably take place in Iraq. No politician is going to take on that responsibility and find themselves accountable for a policy perceived as total defeat. And any additional attacks forth coming due to this policy of surrender would lie square on his/her shoulders.
For what it's worth, when I talk to different people, I do not find 7 out of 10 are supportive of a troop withdrawal - and I tend to believe my own personal experiences and observations over any alleged pole numbers or survey spewed out by different groups. 70% is a very large percentage - and if it were true, the democratic congress surly would have tried just a tiny bit harder to hold back on the war funding - this didn't happen because, bottom line, it's a very bad idea.

Answer 4

If no one like Paul, Kucinich, or Gravel get the nomination, the best thing to do would be to vote for a third-party candidate (Libertarian, Green) or a write-in. This is the only way we can eventually break the Duopoly Party's stranglehold, and it will have the immediate effect of depriving the winner of votes that might otherwise be used to claim a voter mandate.

Answer 5

unhappy to assert, besides the undeniable fact that it might want to come all the way down to that (except Paul is only no longer interior the blend). yet, interior the context of your question, there quite isn't a lot of a decision. Hillary is a non-starter as far as i'm in contact. 8 years interior the Senate and not something to reveal for it. Rudy stands for no longer something, except residing on the previous glory he carried out by utilizing being mayor even as the WTC replaced into attacked. What does this guy believe in, besides? i do not trust Ron Paul on diverse issues, yet I provide him credit for his honesty and sincerity. It couldn't damage to have some one operating the rustic who actual had to the right element and not only get elected. i'd carry my nostril and vote for Ron.

Answer 6

I hate to say it, but it's the truth. All democratic and republican candidates (minus MAYBE Ron Paul) are just puppets for those who control the government (world bankers and military contractors). The only way to take our coutry back and restoring the constitution is to crush those who have taken over our government.

Answer 7

hmmm, i agree with part of what you say but.. .

ron paul is too out there for most americans. kucinich would make a dam fine prez, but like you say, he hasn't a snowball's chance. that leaves us what? hilly undoubtably gets the dem nomination, and rudy or mccain gets the rep. i'll support ms clinton, not my first choice, but choice, in this country, is a fantasy.

no, basically, i see it as same sh^t, different day. until, and more precisely, unless, americans are ready to stand up as a nation and just say whoa, nothing is going to change for the better.

Answer 8

you have been brainwashed by da man . the last 20 years , there have been a minimum of 25 candidates for president at each election . many are good and serious people . the dems and repubs censor and suppress any news coverage of any one but themselves. i believe dems and repubs are both corrupt . if you listen to who says "your wasting your vote if you vote for a 3rd (or 4th 5th 6th ) party " , it usually comes from someone vested in the status quo . voting your heart and mind is NOT a waste . goul- iani is bush jr . . hillary had foster whacked . both no good .

Answer 9

the only problem is... the 30 percent that still support the war are 60 percent of the Republican base... and you can't win the primaries with only 40 percent...

not that I disagree with you... I just don't see how you can do it according to the numbers

She voted No,
She voted Yes again,
Then George Soros,
He told her off,
So she reverted back to NO.
