I'm not sure if you picked up on the irony of your post, but I will agree that this is a fitting #11.
You do know that this is a list of tools saying really stupid things, right?
I think nos. 6 and 7 are right on the mark.
I agree. I shouldn't have said they were all tools saying stupid shit. The bulk of the list fits that description, but those 2 are exceptions.
I just try to get the Ron Paul supporters riled up any chance I get.
Art Maddox dedicated his last C.D. release to my parents and Mason and the folks up River are trying to save our rivers from pollution.. So If Jeff is so inclined

I don't take well to postings when the poster guy has no clue on whom he is talking with.. i have a track record that any regular person does not have..

Who are you talking to? Does it relate to this thread? Why did you pull up a thread from a half a year ago and go on a rant that had nothing to do with the thread? And am I the Jeff you're calling out? I don't remember telling you to shut up in any thread.
I can watch this over and over again, and it never gets old...

I think it's a bot or something like that. His posts never have any meaning
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

As for Ron Paul, it's just that I disagree with his socio-economic ideas. I just happen to think that by getting rid of state based help the weakest people will be the first to suffer.
