Well Tom, to tell you the truth, I don't know about the GOP, only how I feel myself. I don't care for Ron Paul either. Domestically, perhaps. But FP = NO! I'm not anti-war, nor "pro-war"....each case is different. I think we shouldn't be in Afghanistan, for instance, unless we are really there to get rid of the Taliban and terrorism's birthplace....Instead, we are there at the whim of the POTUS, supplies being withdrawn, and a deadline for the exit of troops. Idiotic, IMO. Iraq...I still think we had to be there - someday we will know for sure that Syria had been sent the WMD...plus with Saddam to be in charge meant for a quicker Nuke War in the ME....now, at least there might be a chance that a working democracy (not a republic as we are) will be given the chance to change the entire ME. But, because this Adam Kokesh seems to be really disliked by Conservatives like Michelle Malkin and others, I know you can find those remarks easily. But here are a couple of other thoughts folks here might want to review.....And after the Obama debacle, we ALL had better be reviewing people as they come in and out of the picture.... Anti-War Activist Mounts GOP Campaign for Congress McCain Heckler Emerges as Front-Runner in Ron Paul-Inspired Bid By David Weigel 12/18/09 6:00 AM washingtonindependent.com And on the 911 families for America site…. 911familiesforamerica.org >>>>>On September 1, 2007, Kokesh called for help from Veterans For Peace with an upcoming antiwar “die-in” in Washington, D.C. Kokesh was arrested there on September 6, 2007 for defacing public property (here is the video). On September 15, while 10,000 of so A.N.S.W.E.R.-led students “died” on the Capitol’s west lawn, Kokesh was again arrested when he, Code Pink, and perhaps thirty more crossed the police line.<<<<< >>>>>Band of Mothers founder and Blue Star mom Bev Perlson has witnessed Kokesh’s anti-recruiting and antiwar efforts: I remember Kokesh when he brought a whole busload of members of World Can’t Wait, ANSWER, SDS, to disrupt the recruiting station at 14th & I Street in Washington, DC. They ran around in circles out in front of the recruiting station that day yelling silly slogans against our Soldiers and the War. Their antics caused about 7 members of the Metro Police to have to stand guard out in front of the station for hours. How’s that for how he disrupts the recruiters, the city and wastes our tax dollars. I remember Kokesh when he tried to stage a re-enactment of the Winter Soldier testimony of the traitor John Kerry days! We disrupted both of these events and the Winter Soldier nonsense was a debacle. Adam Kokesh is a phony who reinvents himself yearly.<<<<< Looks like opposition to Kokesh from within the GOP is because he is anti-war
