Bachmann says Obama is leading from behind on Syria

We should have acted weeks ago on Syria, we should be continuing to pressure Iran, we should have sent in troops in Libya to take out Gaddafi according to many prominent Republicans. It's ridiculous!

The party of small/limited government my butt! Ron Paul is the only person who is not a hypocrite, but then again he no longer is a Republican. The Republican Party has turned into something else over the past decades. It's for small spending in the USA and massive spending overseas.


Obama 2012!

Well they are all about 'small and limited' until they see the opportunity to make boatloads of money. So pencilDick Cheney, Erik 'hitler' Prince, etc., see the perfect opening to start a war...Why the hell would they waste it?

You have some useless company that just kinda lingers in the background, backed by even creepier rich people than yourselves...A war breaks out and OMG you are perfect for offering the services they need now.

You are in on the inner circle, or have enough money to spread around to the scum politicians to get into the inner circle...The so-called 'war' breaks out and you are in the perfect spot to win no-bid contracts worth outrageous amounts of money given to you by the gov't to provide 'services' that realistically a 7-11 owner could probably provide. Money given to you by the same gov't you rage and rampage against as 'wasting money'...

And you do so all under the name of going onto Fox News and wearing a flag pin...You mobilize the tea party retards to believe that you are a savior and the people not wearing flag pins (aka LIBS) are the enemy...CHA-CHING...another 100million in the bank!!!

The Republican Party is creating a contradiction in terms without fully realizing it. They want to spend less on all sorts of things and have a smaller government, and that's not a bad idea to be honest. But they also want their walls and their wars. The Great Wall of America. The War on Drugs. The War on Terror. These things cost one helluva lot of money. You can't have less government and keep running with these things. You have to get smaller across the board, not just cutting programs you don't like. In this area, the GOP is hypocritical.

The Dems like to wave the olive branch around a lot, but end up invading every corner of God's green earth more often than Republicans do. And in that, the Dems are hypocrites too.

It's just way too easy to prove that both political parties suck!!

Perry: US move on Syria ‘long-overdue’ – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs

Perry says, "every diplomatic option should be brought to bear to prevent Assad from wreaking further violence on the people of that region."

Romney says, ""America must show leadership on the world stage and work to move these developing nations toward modernity."

I challenged the previous poster's facts and you didn't bother to do a speck of research before commenting.

U.S. troops landed in Lebanon on August 24, 1982. Who was president on August 24, 1982?

My God, are people too goddamn lazy to check anything?
