For any that doubt my patriotism and what a true patriot is…I will be happy to explain it to you further if these do not answer your questions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBwdwnMLvhU
Which military experts John? Mac asked earlier…you keep referring to these ‘military experts’, but have yet to produce data to support your assertion that the concept of blowback “is supported by almost every military expert.” I call BS!
It’s Paul-or-none for most Paul supporters. Those who feel obligated to cast a vote anyway if Paul doesn’t make it will likely vote for Obama if he’s the nominee, or a third party candidate. If they cared two shits for any of the faux-Republican candidates running, they’d already support them.
How can a principled ‘conservative’ voter bounce from Ron Paul to Barack Obama?
This goes to what I have been saying all along; those supporting Paul are not in the GOP, thus will have little to no affect on Republicans in the General Election.
bb: “I’ve asked this question of other Paulheads; who will you support when Paul is knocked out of the race?”
I changed my party affiliation from undeclared to Republican so I can vote in the primary in my state. I will change it back to undeclared after this election.
My state allows write-in candidates so if Paul drops out of the race I will write his name in anyway. If he runs 3rd party I will vote for him there but I prefer that he stays within the GOP.
Thanks for your comments on my other vids. The choice of paths might seem wrong to others on a differnt path so misguided is relative.
I don’t think I did. The premise of the first question was “did the commander make the right decision NOT to respond with force?”. H-berry gives the gates of hell comment. This seemed to surprise Hume based upon his follow-up question (link vid @ 4:10) because he calls H-berry on the gates of hell comment…as if it was not a passive answer. That the contradicts his comments to Paul that every other candidate supported a passive response.
Thompsons response agrees with H-berry’s gates of hell comment @ 5:32. Why does the crowd applause? Was that a passive response? Can you really say to me after watching Fred’s response that he was supporting a passive response by the Navy? It was a threat and threats are not passive.
Rudy and McCain are just a flat out war mongers hoping your fear elects him to office. They do not even address Humes specific question. Name one place in their response where they agree that the naval commanders were right in their choice to not respond hostile to the speedboats- Humes original question. Both speak of a continued distrust of our own NIE report and Iran. Rudy and McCain call those who believe our own report as ’spinning’ it. Why isn’t that bizarre to you? It is to me.
Chris, re your post#58:
There’s no way in hell I would vote for Obama. And I highly doubt Obama would receive any votes from folks who support Dr. Paul. Don’t know where you got that thought unless that would be your tact, and you would be the only one (except for Black Ron Paul supporters, I suppose)

I just posted one of your vids on my website. Just click on the “bold” “Bill” my friend. And you’re a good example of the large number of Americans who probably don’t show up in the phone surveys of “likely Republican voters”. And actually the mindset which ignores the independents and crossovers would also be ignoring the Reagan legacy. And what do they have instead? Not much of course.
The Good News are the Gospels. Try reading them.
Dr. Paul may not win, but I would rather keep my integrity than sell my soul out of fear.

Why do you disagree with military experts about Blowback?
Thanks John. Nice blog.
For what is worth:
This video I made is pretty broad but self explainatory.

This was my first video.

All have a similar theme.

You have a real talent! God Bless and thank you for the comments!
Andy,
All three are good videos, just misguided IMHO. Why make the one that started this thread with so much taken out of context?
I’ve asked this question of other Paulheads; who will you support when Paul is knocked out of the race?
Which military experts John? Mac asked earlier…you keep referring to these ‘military experts’, but have yet to produce data to support your assertion that the concept of blowback “is supported by almost every military expert.” I call BS!
John,
Here is the truth…time to retract your false allegation –

“How can a principled ‘conservative’ voter” support Bush?

I watched the full debate again last night to see if I had really taken everything out of context like you said.

Listen to this part @ 1:05.

I hear Fred say “I don’t know about being passive.”
I did not take their comments out of context. I highlighted their answers.

Very cool and very nice of you, Bill. Thanks.
