Fox News asks Ron Paul why he gets most military support while calling for Iraq withdrawal

-----

Fox asked Paul about a study showing he is the candidate with the most support from members of the US military, even though he is calling for immediate withdrawal from Iraq. "We take the traditional position that you should only go to war under a declaration and win and get out," Paul explained. "It's protecting the troops ... and the fact that we get the money from the military more than all the other Republicans put together is a pretty darn good endorsement."

Paul finished by noting that his positions are based on Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, which he regularly cites as the basis for his view of limited government. That section enumerates a limited list of Congressional functions -- including punishing piracy on the high seas, granting letters of marque and reprisal, and regulating commerce with the Indian tribes -- but does not cover many of the functions routinely assumed by government today.

Yep, sure does boggle those Faux empty-heads that there are military members who are tired of the multiple Iraq tours and the war.

Gee, I wonder why?

He's stealing the voice of the other Repubs as "supporters of the troops"- something I wish the Dems would do.

:eyes:

Notice that Obama is the least warmongering of the top democratic tier and he got most military donations (after Ron Paul)

Paul leads in donations from military voters, with Obama next

WASHINGTON — Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, the congressman from the Houston area who opposes the Iraq war, has gotten more contributions than any other White House contender from donors identified as affiliated with the military.

According to a Houston Chronicle analysis of campaign records from January through September, Paul received $63,440 in donations from current military employees and several retired military personnel.

Democrat Barack Obama, another war critic, was second in military giving. The Illinois senator got $53,968 during the nine months.

But.. but .. but they are not supporting the troops? Those traitors Obama and Ron Paul for calling for surrender, right?

Gee....imagine that.

How does this escape the sharp folks at Fox News?

the military gravitates to a nutbag though. There are better choices for a responsible withdrawal + a well run government too.

Real soldiers know that their country is safest when there is no need for soldiers to be put in harms way.

Only phony soldiers crave a fight or a war when none is necessary, or when it makes the country less safe.

Rush Limbaugh argument. Suggest you reconsider.

If the Republicks think it's okay to call any soldiers phony, then let THEM be the ones to wear the label.

or they are too cowardly to admit it. Fox News fears the truth. They want to fight the war on fear by spreading fear.

1. the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political purposes.
2. the state of fear and submission produced by terrorism or terrorization.
3. a terroristic method of governing or of resisting a government.

While that sounds like the official Republican party platform, it's actually the dictionary definition of terrorism.

or lose their jobs & healthcare, among other things.

Given that, of course they would scratch their heads as to why the people they have rolled over like Hitler rolled mentally over the German, would not behave as they were tolds.

Those Ron Paul donations represent, Quite literally, one of the few remaining freedoms Americans have remaining to influence or change government. The imperial Subjects of Amerika, where possible, are going to take advantage of our few remaining freedoms in this area to express what they cannot anywhere else, especially the voting booth (we have all seen the method by which the Bushes steal thousands of Black soldiers' votes).

I no longer include the "vote" because I do not believe our Stalinist voting system has any validity left to it as an accurate or even semiaccurate expression of the Will of the People.

Of course those Commie-style liar and propagandists would scratch their heads. The support for Paul comes from that place outside the Lying Bushie False Reality Bubble, which has successfully destroyed the old USA and has aims on the rest of the world.

But the rest of the world ain't buying.

RACK YOUR BRAINS.
