For $100, “What is Victory, Supporting Our Troops and Honor?”

Answer: Reasons that 3 of 4 Republican candidates say justify our continued war in Iraq.

Reason #2 to Not Vote for Ron Paul: He’s a Nut Job
Posted in 2008 Elections, Ron Paul on January 29, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Isn’t it funny how the only candidate promoting and defending the U.S. Constitution is the same guy consistently ridiculed as the nut job of the GOP?
