Lieberman, a longtime friend of the Cuban-American community, said that McCain is the best candidate to champion the cause of freedom in Cuban and across the Americas.

“While change in Cuba will come from within, we need to help more,” Lieberman said. “McCain would make Radio and TV Marti more effective and provide more material support to Cuba’s pro-democracy dissidents.”

And McCain will take on more than just Fidel Castro.

Across the board, “McCain will engender trust in our friends and fear and respect from our enemies,” said Lieberman. “With John McCain, [Iranian President Mahmoud] Ahmedinejad and [Venezuelan President] Hugo Chavez will face their toughest adversary. … Freedom isn’t something McCain learned in a book.”

McCain also said he is not for amnesty, for tax cuts, and now he says he will stand up to Castro

Why do I not take him seriously?

So mccain wants to fuck with the legal leader of a sovereign nation that means no more to us than a flee on a dogs butt, and yet he wants to let 20 million illegal aliens remain forever inside our country.

PR, Iw ould not call Castro the "legal leader" - he is a dictator and killer. But yes, i agree with you - he is no threat to the US and will be dead soon due to his failing health

McCain is a fucking RINO, and like Hillary and Obama, pandering to any and all people he can

Sure Castro is a dictator, but killer... I haven't heard of anybody he's been killing. None the less, he is the recognized leader of that country, and Cuba or Castro is no more a threat to us than the man in the moon is. Let Cuba work out it's own problems. We don't need mccain sticking his dumb ass nose in that business down there. McCain is just coming across as another damn war monger, and that's the last thing this country needs right now.

Agreeded PR. Castor is like Saddam only he does his killing more quietly. Yes McCain is pandering and trying to flex his military background

Do not get me wrong - I thank McCain for his service as I do anyone who served

but he is a RINO, and he is only worried what the NY Times and CNN say about him.

And that he is invited to all the important DC cocktail parties

I did not once hear Paul say "we deserved it." Sorry. What I did hear him say is that us being over in the middle east just gives the terrorists a better shot at us because were in their back yard, and that their hate for us being there grows because we are. How you extrapolate he said "we deserved 911" out of that, I don't know.

That's another point he made, that we don't seem to understand the unreasonable thought process of terrorists.

If people believe that parking in the terrorists back yard and getting blown up and shot at daily is the solution, fantastic. Personally, I don't. Number one, our military isn't big enough to do it. Number two, we can't afford it. Why is it that some believe it's bush's way or no way? Why can't there be a 'third' option? Why can't we try something new? Maybe something where less of our troops got killed. Maybe something we could afford. If it doesn't work, what are we out? You can NOT convince me that us parking our asses in Iraq FOREVER is the ONE AND ONLY right thing to do. Bologna. There has to be other options, and Paul is willing to try something different. I agree with that.

and not striking back at the terrorists is not the answer. Do I support everything Pres bush has done - hell no. he has let me down on many issues

The war was fought with many mistakes, but now the troops have turned it around a full 189 degrees

Paul does not strike me as the type of guy who would stand up to them - he wouldr ather pull back and hope they leave us alone

Many like him tried to deal with Hitler the same way in the early 1930's

Paul is a veteran, and I don't believe for one second that if we were attacked, he wouldn't hit back with everything we have. He'd just wait until we were hit. And I believe he wouldn't have us invading countries that hadn't attacked us, and he wouldn't have our military used as occupiers, and he wouldn't have America in the business of nation building. None of that is in our constitution, and I don't believe we should be doing it either, and that's why I like Ron Paul.

Yup. You may never fire it knowing I have a cannon and it's pointed back at you. What do you think all the intercontinental ballistic missiles pointed at America are? They're your 'cannon.' Are we attacking all those people because they have missiles, 'cannons', pointed at us. No.

We need to fight when we absolutely need to. Go in, kick ass in a fashion that leaves nothing alive and total destruction, and then LEAVE. I say if we do anything at all, we need to use MORE force, but we need to use it, then LEAVE. This occupying and nation building is not the answer, and it's against our constitution. We don't have a big enough military for it, and we can't afford it.

Well... you people are all hearing what you want to hear, not what he said. He's not talking in 'gists' or 'making excuses'. He's giving legitimate reasons why the terrorists HATE us so much, nothing more, and I don't think there's any denying that what he says is correct. Sure there can be MORE to it than that, but that doesn't discount his reasoning in any shape, way or form. Just because he isn't beating the war drum and vowing to stay in Iraq forever blindly following bush's war plan, you people dump on him, and it's not rational. Just because he wants our troops home, you people persecute him. Well, I didn't know we had such fervent war lovers here.

Well, you know I completely disagree with you that he was "making excuses," because he wasn't. He was clearly giving very good reasons why the terrorists hate us. Giuliani twisted what he said to suit himself and cash in on 911 emotions, his baby.

We did go to war after 911. But we're way off track from that now. Maybe if we got back to actually fighting who and why was responsible for 911, the war would have more support. As it is now, more people want us out of Iraq than want us to stay there.

We're in Iraq because of the oil, not because of 911.
