    Ronnie is responsible for Star Wars defense systems, Obama wants to toss in the trash...

    Anyone who claims Ron Reagan is worse than Obama is obviously on drugs.

    The current Mid-Course BMD system is not the same as Star Wars. And where exactly is Obama "trashing it"?

    BTW, we don't claim that Reagan is worse than Obama. We just use the facts to show how he definitely wasn't a conservative.

    The term "neoconservative" comes to mind. The ideology's origin is in no way 'conservative'.

    LOL, an inspace global missle defense system is still not feasible for aquisition, even today. You are correct that theatre level missle defense systems that are integrated with other defense systems are the current implementation of missle defense, but that is not near a global scale.

    So ending the missile defense system in Europe equals "trashing it"? You do know that we still have the defenses in Alaska and California right?

    And how many Conservatives do you know that support amnesty for illegals, arming terrorists, cutting and running from attacks in the Middle East, legalizing abortion (when he was governor of California), and running massive deficits?

    Romney listens to PNAC has loaded his advisors with warmongering Neo-cons. What do you expect?

    Ron was also a liar about military service. Playing a soldier in movies doesn't count. He was also an owl worshipper and involved in prostitution scandals.

    ........

    Ike had the answer:

    "In his speech, Eisenhower warned about the growth of a 'military-industrial complex,' and the risks it could pose. "The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power," Ike said, "exists and will persist." His anxieties back then were prompted by the ten-fold expansion of the US military after two world wars, and by the development of a "permanent arms industry of vast proportions". Today, the proportions of both the military and the industry that serves it are vaster than ever.

    Adjusted for inflation, US national security spending has more than doubled since Eisenhower left office. Year after year, the defence budget seems to rise – irrespective of whether the country is actually fighting major wars, regardless of the fact that the Soviet Union, the country's former global adversary, has ceased to be, and no matter which party controls the White House and Congress.

    The US by itself accounts for roughly half of military spending worldwide. How much better if some of that money would be used to improve the country's education and infrastructure, or provide health care for all, or increase foreign aid, rather than on protecting America from threats that geography alone renders illusory.

    In reality, the dangers of Eisenhower's "military-industrial complex" are not new; from the earliest days of the Republic, political leaders have warned of them. "Overgrown military establishments," George Washington said in his own farewell address of 1796, "are under any form of government inauspicious to liberty."

    I take it you like subsidizing our allies' defense so they don't have to spend money on it and can therefore have bigger social welfare programs?

    I had no idea that you loved European socialism so much that you are willing to pay for it yourself.

    False promises or promises that are faulty to begin with don't deserve to be kept.

    Most of his foreign affairs, defense and security advisers are PNAC or Bush II administration connected. People such as John Bolton, Elliot Cohen, Dan Senor, Cofer Black, Donald Rumsfeld are among those who are crafting Romney's foreign policy. One thing I am sure of is that if Romney is elected then the War against Iran will begin during his first year, though this time I doubt we will get much support from the rest of the World.

    I support having our allies fund their own defense, cutting US spending, and ending the practice of subsidizing the social welfare programs of Europe and Israel.
