I love it! McCain will learn that every time he attacks Ron Paul, America will see that the facts are on Ron Paul's side. BTW I wonder how many donations McCain gets from active military?

The comment that isolationism caused the second world war is at best an un-researched assumption. One of the major problems of American and world thinking on foreign policy is the inability to see the wide screen view of historical events. Until we stop taking short snapshots of history we will fail to understand it fully. Ron Paul is the candidate who best understands foreign policy and the only candidate who has my support. Google Ron. Look at his record.

Go Ron Paul!!

Senator McCain invoked Hitler when saying that 'isolationism' brought the rise of Hitler. The senator should check and see that his good buddy the President's grandfather helped finance the Nazi's rise to power.

How Bush's grandfather helped Hitler's rise to power


Rumours of a link between the US first family and the Nazi war machine have circulated for decades. Now the Guardian can reveal how repercussions of events that culminated in action under the Trading with the Enemy Act are still being felt by today's president

Ben Aris in Berlin and Duncan Campbell in Washington
Saturday September 25, 2004
The Guardian

George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.

The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.

His business dealings, which continued until his company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave labourers at Auschwitz and to a hum of pre-election controversy.

We know John McCain is not an isolationist as his record as a US Senator and representing the State of Arizona as he has openly ignored his constituents pleading to close its borders to the all of Mexico moving into the state.

McCain is a habitual offender of US immigration laws and puts to Arizonans the burden to educate, feed and medically treat this illegal immigration.

McCain attacks Ron Paul for upholding our laws and his desires to keep us at peace with other nations.

I am confident that John McCain will not be the next President.

That was a giant hit job put on Ron Paul by CNN .... he had 5 questions compared to giuliani and Romneys 15/16 .... This is a disgrace , because they are afraid of Ron Paul's truth and want to hide it from the masses ... Anderson Cooper is CNN's lapdog and I seen that comin' a mile away ..

Ron Paul is the only candidate with American's interests at heart , period .

VOTE RON PAUL 2008

Just keep busting up the GOP voteNov 29th, 2007 - 03:42:57

Like Nader, now the GOP has their own 'fracture zone' to deal with - keep it up, guys. Keep talking up the guy who cannot win the General Election.

Wait until the right-wing fundamentalists put up their own candidate, since the major candidates are worried about silly stuff like 'terrorism' and Iraq instead of those core issues involving actually butting into other people's lives.

Yea, I was a little disappointed, 2 hrs and 5 questions for Paul = big frown to CNN and MSM again. I live in Arizona, the illegals here get worse by the day. Crime rate goes up, while employers get to make extra profit by exploiting immigrants at the same time I work 2 jobs to pay for their health care, foodstamps, and increase in law enforcement. I am disgusted with this, everywhere I go I need to know spanish>? And yes the NAFTA superhighway is real, just research it. The North American Union is real, again research it. I only pledge allegiance to America As for the war, think of it this way, instigating creates hate and incentive. The holy wars have raged throughout the century's, and trying to stop it like trying to stop crime or the sun from rising. Our bullying is creating hate, 1m Iraqees dead? How would we feel if 1m of our people were dead, tanks policing the streets? I work 2 jobs to survive, of which I am taxed half of to pay for it. Please, research the facts a bit more and stop being Rep. Vs. Dem. Remember our constitution and civil liberties.

Ron Paul for the win :)

Ron Paul absolutely killed in this debate even with the little time CNN gave him. The liberals Romney and Giuliani absolutely crashed and burned. Romney avoided just about every single question asked of him. He really showed his true colors to be a fake and a flip flopper. People were right to boo Giuliani, what an embarassment to conservatism, how DARE he talk about Reagan as though he actually believes in Reagan's small govt policy. McCain was given the facts by Ron Paul as always Ron Paul came out on top. Whenever someone says Ron Paul may not win, it is a VERY strong indicator that they know he probably is going to win for sure other wise they would not have to say such nonsense. They didn't tell Hunter or Tancredo that did they? But we all know its pretty much over for those 2, because they are not a threat....Ron Paul is the ONLY threat to big out of control government and CNN (the FCC's bitch) knows it. Ron Paul simply grew in support tonight and everytime the mainstream media continues its aggressive offensive against him, he grows more and the MSM loses credibility. The military backs Ron Paul.....look it up its true.

We were not isolationist before WWII. The Bush family was doing lots of trading with the Nazi regime and had millions of dollars seized because of it. But again how would America get a force across the ocean quickly to back Poland. That was Europe's job, its their neighbor.

America was NOT isolationist in World War 2. It was precisely because America intervened in WW1 and imposed the Versailles treaty on Germany, that a Hitler was able to rise to power and start a WW2.

I think McCain is the most decent of the Republican war-mongers. I get the feeling he sincerely believes the morale of the troop will be better if the US wins the war. Unfortunately, that's besides the point. I really loved Ron Paul's response when he recounted the story between the two generals when one said that the US did not lose a single battle in Vietnam and the other replied, 'That's irrelevant'. Ron Paul is truly a rare breed that combines sharp intellect and a passion for politics. McCain, while sincere, didn't stand a chance. In fact, his attack only served to expose the lies this administration has piled on the American public.

I truly believe the rest of the candidates have been coached to avoid sparring with Paul on the war issue because the more they do, the more they will lose. So, that's why I found McCain's attempt at a debate somewhat laudible.

I Just Hope that the MSM keeps it up!Nov 29th, 2007 - 11:50:19

Let's keep the Sheople blind by the bogus misinformation the MSM spins. They are going to be blindsided and be shown for what they really represent.

God love the Propoganda Kings and Queens in the MSM for their blatant lies. This is going to be fun and I can't wait to experience it. Let's all get together and have a BIG Party while we record for history the collapse of the House-of-Cards that they've created.

However, let's be realistic. The American People are going to suffer intensely during this period of awakening and realization that we've been blatantly lied to for decades.

We need to start getting prepared for it because it's going to happen regardless of what we do. Their Catch 22 cannot be stopped. They created it and there's nothing the People can do to stop it.

The Dow has a GREAT day while the Dollar crashes which most people don't realize that regardless of the Dow gains they still lost. The American People don't even realize it which is so sad!

It's time to Network folks and Network seriously.

Go get em MSM. Your House is collapsing!

Ron Paul can solidify the USA and restore it to it's original standards. Once again Americans from the US can say 'United we stand..' Ron Paul can do this faster than Bush trashed us and our image on all fronts.

Isolationism allowed for Hitler's rise to power? Oops, I'm sorry. I thought it was encouraged with financing from Anti-Americans, including one Prescott Bush.

Yes it is true that McCain got slammed Buy paul
but its a shame that much of the debate was cloged buy gay marrage & gays in the military. they did not give Ron Paul as much attention as the other cannadates. Ecconomics should have been the main topic
like the credit crunch, foreclosure's, Florida's Economic downward spiral.
Oil Prices out of control Let's work on the topic's that affect our wallet's then lets sort out the small stuff. Romney sounded like he was trying to dance around the questions, julianni think's his smile will win the presedency.Let's be honest they avoid Paul because he is Right &
Not backed by special intrest groups there afraid to give Paul equal coverage
