If the American people were told the real reason their country has become embroiled in this war most would not believe it.

““He is absolutely right: Afghanistan is now Obama’s war.”
The operative word here is probably “now.” Republicans like Congressman Paul certainly look good when they say the war is “now Obama’s war”, but the record is Republicans have been pushing war just as strongly as Democrats, not only since 9-11, but really for decades.

““The American people are sick and tired spending hundreds of billions of dollars a year, draining our economy and straining our military. Michael Steele has it right and Republicans should stick by him,” Paul said.”

On the surface, this sounds like an admirable statement of Congressman Paul. However it implies that Michael Steele and “Republicans” care about what the American people are sick and tired of. Neither party, and certainly not national committee heads, know about or care about what the American people want.

I am a pro-life. We pro-life Americans voted for G.W. Bush in 2000 because he promised us he would take action for life when he was president. We voted for life, but we got war.

We pro-life Americans decided nothing was ever going to be done about the mass murder of the unborn so in 2008 we decided we may as well vote for candidate Obama because he was promising to end the war. We voted against war, and we got more mass murder of the unborn.

Either way we lose. Because of what all these traitors have done to the American people regarding unjust wars and the murder of the unborn. I am not going to ever vote for a presidential candidate ever again. Republicans have consistently been all talk and no action for at least 20 years

I think it is high time that the Western world cut all ties and connections with the muslim world forever. The two cultures are incompatible.

Mr Paul, it’s simple to explain why Republicans are upset by Mr Steele’s comments. Unlike the Democrats, Republicans (at least the real ones) do not see America’s wars as an extension of the domestic political battlefield. This is not Bush’s war, nor Obama’s war, it is America’s war.

You may argue that it was a mistake to get involved, and you may think it’s a good idea to withdraw. But you and Mr Steele are out of line in trying to engineer a defeat to hang around Obama’s neck for political reasons. That’s what the Democrats did to Bush. It was wrong when they did it, and it would be wrong for us to do it. We are better than that.

We conservatives stick to our principles, and it’s what we expect from Republicans. One of those principles is that the welfare of the United States comes before the welfare of our party.
