Newt Gingrich was just on Fox and Friends and he called McCain-Lieberman the “Chinese full employment act.” That was great to hear. That kind of talk will go a long way toward making amends for starring in that Algore funded garbage with Nancy Pelosi. This should make conservatives feel good. And McCain should wake up and take notice. We aren’t going to lay down for his liberal agenda and I think there are enough Democrats that won’t vote for this garbage that McCain is going to have his hands full if he’s actually able to claw his way into the White House.
I am really on fence on whether he can actually win this thing. I mean I just really don’t think McCain is a very smart guy. Every time I turn around the guy is saying something stupid. Remember when he went in front of that group of black people and talked about not supporting the Martin Luther King holiday? I mean, why? What was the point of that. Fine, go and speak. But why bring something up that is just going to piss people off. And then McCain just ends up looking like a total idiot with this dumb smile on his face while people are booing him. It’s really too bad we didn’t have better candidates this year, but it almost seems like there is a dearth of really standout people in the party now. McCain is a really rotten Republican presidential candidate, but the alternative is to awful to even contemplate.

Well this is an old blog post, but I found it randomly through Google so here’s a response in defense of Ron Paul’s position.
According to this article from Fox News - http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,85446,00.html
“…the presence of American forces here has long been an irritant for Saudi rulers facing strong anti-American sentiment among a growing and increasingly restive population. Fifteen of the 19 alleged Sept. 11 hijackers were Saudis, and Saudi-born Osama bin Laden cites the U.S. military presence in his homeland as a reason for his hatred of America.”
Even if our troops were there at the invitation of the Saudi government, it well-known that their government does not represent the will of the people. Apparently Bin Laden perceived our presence there as an occupation.
Also, Ron Paul votes against every appropriations bill. However, because his district is paying loads of taxes, just like every other district, it is Ron Paul’s duty to represent his constituents and try to get some of that money back in the form of earmarks. If Ron Paul did not submit the earmarks, that money, which has already been appropriated, would be taken by an earmark for another district or just spent without oversight by the Executive branch.
