    This may be an actual logical question. Looking at the support given to Ron by the military compared to other candidates... would people choose to stand by our troops through the tough times in the war, but when it comes to letting the troops speak out for themselves they choose to stop their support in helping the troops get what they want?

    that's just an ignorant comment

    should we not listen to a general about tactics? or strategies to win?

    As far as a war in concerned I think the troops know a little bit better the predicament overseas then anyone else.

    Hey Mr. Expert who gets all his information from Media News- you definitely know whats going on over there then any of our military

    You also know totally whats wrong with the economy instead of listening to Nobel Prized economists with their warnings before our predicament and also their support for Paul


    I'm not for a Military dictatorship but I am for a logical and reason dictatorship- that's called smart democracy- because people who reason and use logic will most likely reach the same conclusion- you have to take other peoples views: especially firsthand into consideration

    If I'm playing cards and I think I have the better hand but the guy who see's my opponents hand gives me information that I do not have the best hand- he does.. Since I personally don't have more information then the guy giving me information with a first hand account of what my opponent has and he does- I'll probably go with the ideal I don't have the best hand.

    and seriously a logic and reason democracy is much better then our current fascist democracy

    I would rather have delegates votes swayed by military patriotism influence then Romneys or Santorums or another candidates Goldman Sachs money and gift influence

    There is a reason why the Commander and Chief is a civilian. A member of the military has given up their right to have an opinion about politics. At least publically.

    Learn some civics people.

    Hey, I agree awesome video until they started getting into Ron Paul's nutty economics.

    "End the Fed". Hey I agree end it as a private bankers cabal messing with the money supply. However, what is Ron Paul proposing besides bs about the gold standard? I doubt he wants a government controlled national bank controlled by politicians and therefore with democratic accountability like I would like.

    In the words of Dr. Paul.... just because you're President it doesn't make you a KING you can't so easily have a war just because you want one. It has to be declared by the people (congress) otherwise the commander and chief gives himself more power then he deserves.

    I don't want one of them. I want one of us. (not you)

    When you swear to defend this country, you are swearing to defend America, not democrats or republicans.

    Even better, watch the flick Seven Days in May. It'll explain everything to you.

    I like how a majority of the microscopic fraction of alleged active military members who actually donate publicly-reportable sums in campaigns is held up as a near-total consensus.....but then again, on the list of silly arguments made by Ron Paul's internet brigade, it's relatively low on the scale.

    Yeah thats how the founding fathers planned it. corporate facism has taken over. Smart and Reasonable democracy should dictate.. Not an Auction system where Goldman Sachs owned puppets buy their spots and appoint other yes men and corporate owned puppets- That's a fascist dictatorship poised to look like true democracy- when you have businesses donated anonymously and treated as if they are civilians perpetuated by a business backed media to further manipulate corporate agenda

    I'm confused, is corporate facism better or worse than facist democracy? I need to know which one to be more scared of.
