What exactly is a fiscal republican? Someone who tries his hardest to raise the deficit?
The days of Goldwater are long past. Republicans don't represent fiscal responsibility anymore. It's time people started noticing that.

Fundamentalist islamics don't mind that... call it a jihad, and boom. Or, just as bad, sell it to every other country around there. On the grand scheme of things, I'd rather see suicide bombs than nuclear bombs.
I'm not saying it's good that we would invade them, but before you foreign guys start bashing me too... perhaps you should suggest an alternative? (and if you think they are going to just submit to monitoring... notsomuch)

You are mistaken when you assume that all Islamic fundamentalist scum are the same. The fundamentalist scum in power in Iran right now aren't very likely to attack the west. They aren't rabid militants, but rather power-hungry ultra-conservatives. They know that they would lose a war against the west, and wouldn't launch an attack unless forced to.
However, this is a moot point since even the most radical neocons with any political power at all are in no mind to attack Iran. Sure, they may talk big, but even they realize that invading Iran would be pure stupidity. The Irani people, for the most part, support their idiotic government, and would surely fight any invading force by any means possible.
In my opinion, it would be best to invade Iran and kill every last fundamentalist shithead in that whole crappy country, but that most certainly isn't going to happen any time soon. The only thing that could possibly happen is that if the Irani's get to close to achieving nuclear capability, a few airstrikes will set their efforts back a decade or two.
