    Why is Russia receiving US aid. The Russians are costing the US billions of dollars with their sabre rattling antics.

    I have seen it and responded many times and you know it gtech, and you also know the heated arguments i have had with KING and many others their hatred for isreal(you conveniently skipped those didnt you) about this because i have many jewish friends myself. My point is we should stop aid to every country and use this money to pay down debt and make it work for the american people who you rediculed when i said most here in america are struggling to make ends meet. In case you missed my debates with king you can go back and read them.
    I dont favor anyone except for my country and that is america.


    Even ron paul talked about thsi when he said that we throw away 3 times as much funding to the arab states as we do isreal. The point is stop the funding to all. Isreal is now strong enough to handle itself against any enemy and so is jordan and egpyt.

    Exactly, thats like saying if you don't like an American law or act (such as the Patriot act) then you hate America. I support Ron Paul and I do not hate Jews, I actually have many friends who are Jewish.

    Well if you ask me, I think USA should stop sending foreign aids. It will solve 90% of the problems. (Not really, but still)

    exactly Bogart, The russians need to solve their own problems. We in america probably need more economic help then most of them.

    Actually the care that our veterans receive at Walter Reed are first class, the conditions that they receive them in are not so great.

    You mean like how Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein were favorable to our interests?

    Yep, in dealing with foreign affairs it would be great to have a crystal ball to see into the future, but until we build one of those we have to rely on the people willing to support our interest.

    You didn't need a crystal ball to know Saddam Hussein was a dirtbag. He was a CIA sponsored assassin well before he went into politics.

    I think the policy makers knew exactly who they were backing. I think they know exactly who they are backing in Musharaf and the Saudi Princes.

    We need to stay out of people's own business and start minding our own as our own shit is hitting the fan right now. We can not stabilize the world in a time where our own country is more divided and unstable than ever. That's why I am voting for Ron Paul, voting for change and putting America 1st!
