CSPAN = Republican Reps speaking against the war NOW.

Ron Paul - R-TX and now Rep John Duncan R-Tenn

It appears that we are empire building!

HA! Well. It walks like a duck and talks like a duck...

well, well, well.

The polls have spoken, I guess.

I better turn it on!

on DU this past weekend that repugs would start to peel themselves away from the blivet real soon, possibly due to the DSM and the coverage it will hopefully get real soon! Appears that's happening, eh? :toast:

every repug for himself, numbers against the war over 60%, abandon ship!

to hear the rehtoric.....it needs to get louder and stronger..
g

I've noticed it. Only a few of them stick together but then when the shit hits the fan for one bye bye! I do think all these people are brave for speaking out with Karl Rove around. He must be shitting himself. :D

Seems to be running--politely---away from the administration.

We definitely need the transcript of his remarks.




wow,,,,then they quickly adjourned. I wonder what that was about???

Durban kicked some butt, too.

Dave Eberhart, NewsMax.com

In the U.S. House of Representatives six Republicans broke ranks and voted nay on the Iraq resolution. They were: Ron Paul of Texas, James A. Leach of Iowa, John N. Hostettler of Indiana, Constance A. Morella of Maryland, Amo Houghton of New York, and John J. Duncan of Tennessee.
Here are some of their reasons:


Rep. Ron Paul: "An important aspect of the philosophy and the policy we are endorsing here is the pre-emption doctrine. This should not be passed off lightly. It has been done to some degree in the past, but never been put into law that we will pre-emptively strike another nation that has not attacked us. No matter what the arguments may be, this policy is new; and it will have ramifications for our future, and it will have ramifications for the future of the world because other countries will adopt this same philosophy …
"For more than a thousand years there has been a doctrine and Christian definition of what a just war is all about. I think this effort and this plan to go to war comes up short of that doctrine. First, it says that there has to be an act of aggression; and there has not been an act of aggression against the United States. We are 6,000 miles from their shores …

"My argument is when we go to war through the back door, we are more likely to have the wars last longer and not have resolution of the wars, such as we had in Korea and Vietnam. We ought to consider this very seriously …

"Also it is said we are wrong about the act of aggression; there has been an act of aggression against us because Saddam Hussein has shot at our airplanes. The fact that he has missed every single airplane for 12 years, and tens of thousands of sorties have been flown, indicates the strength of our enemy, an impoverished, Third World nation that does not have an air force, anti-aircraft weapons, or a navy …

"There is a need for us to assume responsibility for the declaration of war, and also to prepare the American people for the taxes that will be raised and the possibility of a military draft which may well come.”

you know, one of the "real" ones.

This is one I can get behind. Tell the truth and let the chips fall.

He's not your typical republican. In Alex Jones "9/11: Rise of Martial Law" film he interviews Mr. Paul and Mr. Paul calls the Bush gang neocons. ;) He and Mr. Duncan also voted AGAINST the Real ID act and he and another republican congressman from North Carolina were the only three in the republican party to do so. Mr. Paul isn't a bad guy just your typical republican. I don't know much about Mr. Duncan since he isn't my rep.

Touching on the Repubs being the ones "with balls."

" Just like Vietnam, the tide is starting to turn. The question is, how many thousands of soldiers
will we lose because the always-faithfull GOP will stand with Bush while the scared-to-death
Democrats are afraid to speak.

You've heard it here a hundred times, we have to depend on the GOP to change this country
because the Democrats can't summon the courage. As time drags on, as hundreds more soldiers
are shipped home in body bags, the GOP will increasingly call for an end to Bush's nightmare."
