It'll be interesting to see how hard they try to ask Ron Paul as few questions as possible.

Yeah that is what I figure the strategy is going to be.

Every time they try to make him look bad he gains in popularity so the best strategy (from their point of view) is to pretty much ignore the fact he is there and don't ask him questions where his answer is what the American people are wanting to hear.

They still have that same poll up on CNN showing him at 1% and it was taken in May...

They don't want to take another one because the numbers are going to be very different.

I liked his answer last night when he was asked about the greatest moral crisis facing America. He said that it was the present Administration's policy of preemptive war.

Ok, when we see the enemy preparing for war, lets us sit idly by and wait until they us attack on their terms. Scripture tells us that government is God ordain to protect against evil men. So I miss the basis for the argument. Preemption is wise and right when done for defense and protection of the nation.

The basis for the argument is the founding fathers whose foreign policy was one of not interfering in the internal affairs of other nations and a policy of going to war only when we are directly threatened - and even then only after CONGRESS has specifiically declared war.

Now, before you get into this Giuliani emotionalism about 9/11, keep in mind that 9/11 would never have happened if the United States government had not been interfering in the internal affairs of Middle Eastern countries since the 1950s, and keep in mind that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. What should have happened in this case was that CONGRESS should have made a formal declaration of war (as required in the Constitution) against Al Qaeda and the Taliban government of Afghanistan and we should have fought that war until we either killed or captured all of their leaders (including Osama bin Laden). As a reminder, here's what the Constitution says about Congress' role in the conduct of warfare:

To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;

To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;

To provide and maintain a Navy;

To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;

To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress.

Now, here's what it says about the President:

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States.

Last night CNN was running a "Who Won" blog on who the viewers were feeling was winning the debate.

It was around 90% for Ron Paul.

Then it was pulled. There was a 404 error for a while and then the URL was redirected to the Democrat Debate Who Won Blog.

This is the kind of stuff we see all the time.

Censorship and media control at its most blatant and it is despicable.

That's because the Demo's watch CNN and they love Ron Paul, and his anti-war stance. The OT is full of war, we live in a fallen world, we must put our trust in God, and us the resources He places in our hands. Anyway, Ron doesn't have the presences to win, much less the right politics.

What about Huckabee? What's wrong with a pastor for president?
