9pm central update on the Caucus. Santorum 25%. Paul 23%. Romney 19%. Am I banned? This won't post!
Lol, no AJ, of course not! I-A-B has an inbuilt anti-spambot thing where it won't allow you copy-pasta the exact same comment across multiple boards. All you have to change is one character (eg adding an extra space or add a period) and you can post it. I see you made the same comment on the other forum nearer the top of the page, presumably you copy-pasted it here then added "Am I banned? This won't post!". Which of course, allowed it to be posted.
Anyways, useful intel, keep the info coming in from the hustings as they develop (though suggest you do so in the other more recent thread, more people will be reading it). |

He needs a democratic congress to keep his crazy in check. But either way he'll only be president not king. |

@madest: Yeah, until the Washington lobbyists get a hold of him. hate to tell ya, but politicians can't get anything accomplished without them, and i don't see a lot of RP fans fighting that system.

Drastic times call for drastic measures. At least with RP you know where he stands. No need to live in waffle land where campaign promises mean nothing while your rights are chipped away piece by piece. You know there's only one selfless candidate in the mix, to me there's only one choice. |

@madest: First, let me start by saying that it pains me to agree with Crakr and AJ on anything..lol! (although AJ and i do have the same taste in women) However, it doesn't matter whether or not N. korea could defeat S. Korea or not. If they attacked, the consequences would be mind -boggling, no matter who "won" in the end. And yes, they do have nukes. I'm strongly against most pre-emptive strikes (as in iraq, and even Libya), but I think it would be crazy to pull our troops out of certain countries. Also, please take a more critical lok at Ron paul. He might want to legalize pot, and appears to be a pacifist, but he has the most conservative voting record since 1937. How cool is that...we can have toys with lead paint again! |

The expense of fixing other peoples problems comes from within the populace through lack of education for the people who need it, which is the greatest determinant of health. poo in, poo out. |

This might sound stupid as well, but aren't the US troops present in the more opportunistic areas which are the ones that cost the most in any which way? If it was for more "peacekeeping" UN reasons, wouldn't the presence be in more needed countries? Take Uganda for example, Dallaire didn't see much help then but there wasn't a dime to be made either. Plus I don't see many blue helmets on the news. |

You may be more right than me Cajun. I won't doubt that, but N Korea's drat you attitude toward the global community, and the abject starvation of it's people by the government is the reason I have the stance I do. Maybe Kim Jong Un will change things, but I doubt it.
It's understandable, but considering how expensive and costly war is I'm seriously inclined to think that an invasion of North Korea would not be in anyone's best interests especially the North Korean people. Hopefully this terrifying regime won't outlive any of us. In the end the only people who can help the North Koreans are the North Koreans themselves. |

Now if what I say is true you might ask, why doesn't South Korea go ahead and invade the North already in light of these aggressions? They CAN do that, the problem is it would be prohibitively expensive. It would be like our occupation of Iraq, but on some rather serious steroids. Quite frankly the South Koreans do not know how to deal with their indoctrinated and emotionally crippled cousins in the North. In the mean time the best course of action, quite frankly, is to hope for the well-being of the North Korean denizens, laugh at their dictatorships empty threats (and I seriously mean empty), and wait for a solution to present itself. |

That old thing that you use every time I mention you? No... Show's a lack of originality on your part and I have no problem with it.
And this just in: Exit polling in Iowa has Ron Paul in the lead @ 29% to Romney's 25%. Santorum non-factor. |

It's not drinking kool aid Madest. It's wanting the N Koreans to do right by their people. I wish the same of the Chinese against the Tibetans. The Somali warlords against their people, etc..... |

The problem with that AuburnJunky is that the Russians were specifically gearing up for war meaning they were disciplined soldiers. North Korea on the other hand most of their military, including their reserves, are busy farming rather than training. Their tanks are outdated and sit in the garages with very little if any maintenance. Most of their advanced military technology is 50 years old. Two-thirds of their airforce is comprised of the MiG-21/MiG-19, both of which were introduced in the late 1950s. Hell the latter of those planes has swept wings as opposed to delta wings. |

And your analogy only works on a defending force. It's why we lost in Vietnam. Nonetheless I didn't delete a thing and have no clue what you're crying about. |

Madest deletes and adds comments to threads to make it support his argument. Once you have the answers, he changes the questions. |

I wasn't making N Korea a defending force, I was just using the Russians and the Battle of Stalingrad as an example of a larger, but less equipped force, defeating a smaller, better equipped force. |

@Cajun, Don't waste your breath. AJ is a typical word twisting republican. jtrebowski suggested that if America were to remove our forces from the DMZ South Korea would be overrun by the North. To which AJ confirmed but is now back tracking by making N. Korea the defending force. It's all double-talk to reaffirm an argument he cannot win. |

@AuburnJunky
Here's some things that put doubt on the notion of "sheer will".
1)The Nazi infantry at the battle were used to fighting alongside tanks which don't yield any significant advantage in urban warfare.
2)Hitler was an idiot. Had he let Paulus retreat it would've saved the entire unit.
3)Shear will power does not mean anything in the face of tactics and strategy. November 1942 the Soviets launched Operation Uranus leading to the encirclement and entrapment of the Nazis. |
