    correct- kinda like how some people can't support a candidate because of his hair. or her breasts- the fact that she HAS them, i mean.

    i support any candidate with breasts :p
  • correct- kinda like how some people can't support a candidate because of his hair. or her breasts- the fact that she HAS them, i mean.

    There will be a few people out there who won't vote for Hillary because she has breasts. I won't vote for her because she's a conniving, manipulative, self-serving asshole.

    It's pretty disgusting that so many media outlets don't cover Ron Paul or treat him with disdain based on his principles which are more in line with the average American than almost all of the other candidates. I did see his interview with Blitzer and didn't get the feeling that he was treated unfairly, perhaps interrupted a few times, but it seemed decent. And Paul should be asked tough questions about some of his stances; by receiving and responding to those questions he'll have the chance to distinguish himself from the other candidates and perhaps even restore a little respect for the Constitution.
    Trading magic for fact, no tradebacks... So this is what it's like to be an adult...

    I actually agree with a lot of what Ron Paul says. I also agree with your first line here. The persecution complex of the Ron Paul volunteers and bloggers has played right into the stereotypes that they complain about.

    If you look back a couple of months on here, they had a youtube video showing that Myspace was fully against Congressman Paul. It turned out to be some guy not knowing what he was doing, but somehow it proved a conspiracy against their candidate nonetheless.

    I used to publicly support Congressman Paul. Now I fear being lumped in with the rabid supporters who have done nothing but hurt his public image.
    I've talked to people who say they're behind Ron Paul 100%, but they won't admit it publicly anymore because they're sick of being laughed at and lumped in with his more loony supporters. That's a disaster for Paul. His campaign has survived thus far by word of mouth, but if the sane people stop talking about him, he's going to be perceived as the candidate of the lunatic fringe.

    Amen to that. Talking to your own family members and trying to open their minds can be hard enough, and these are the people you trust the most. I am confident though, to let Ron Paul do the speaking and do a good job of representing himself.

    I really like Ron Paul. He is sincere, and everything he said in this clip (and in other instances) was well thought out but not scripted. He handles the media very well and does not let himself be led into their phony arguments. I have been supporting Mike Gravel, but I am now leaning more towards voting for Ron Paul in the Republican primary.
  • He came up a ZERO in your poll, huh katie?
    I'd love to see how THAT poll was conducted. JHChrist.

    ugh.
    "came up a zero." [almost all polls show him at 4-10% ?]
    "hes a libertarian." [check his registration. hes a republican.]
    "he's againt abortion." [a "half" truth. he is persoanly but believes in states rights. grrr.]
    "he thinks 911 was our fault." [oh come the fuck on. say something that isn't inflamatory, maybe?]
    "blow up parliment." [inflamatory?]

    Seriously.
    You guys think this kind of coverage isn't meant to cast the worst possible light on him as far as press goes?

    "lets make it sound like we're giving 'fair' coverage but just mention the stuff that on the surface will scare people"

    uh that sounds like the plan to me.

  • see, THIS is fair coverage.

    Honest questions. Not on edge-city. Not condescending. Lets him talk.

    Even says "SOME people say you arent the frontrunner, even though you are the front runner in fundraising!"

    AND

    thanks him for serving in the airforce!

    WOW!

    I hate to praise mainstream media, but CNN is pretty decent most days!

    Wrong. In these parts, Rome is nothing more than a conspiracy cooked up by the Republicans, the media and corporations in order to keep us all in check.

    I'm not sure how the supposed existence of another city keeps us all in check, but that's probably part of their plan as well.

    The other campaigns are fighting back now, the internet traffic that gives Paul a negative reflection has increased by a large amount in the last couple of days.

    What traffic are you talking about specificaly and where are you getting this from?

    I know ole Rush L. just called Ron "Mentally unstable"...

    ugh ...

    there has definately been a rash of negative press lately ... i just don't know what internet stuff you are talking about.

    if they are fighting back now,
    they will be dropping nuc-u-lar bombs after New Hampshire, where Ron Paul is sure to ger well over the 5-9% he is polling at!

    :D

    You know, besides supporting policies that would run this country deep into the ground, I might actually consider supporting Ron Paul. .

    LOL, this country is a downright trainwreck and has been for several years. Yet you think Paul's policies will be the downfall?

    The direction we're headed in now (and have been for a long time) is scarey. This country is closer to being facism than it is anything else.

    We need immediate change and we need to disconnect the corporate influence and disconnect the control they have over our government and the law/policy making process.

    Rush calling Paul "mentally unstable " is about as funny and absurd as it gets.

    Unfortunately, there'll be a bunch of Americans with IQs lower than their shoe size cherring Rush on.

    Ron actually strays a bit from both...and hence why he won't have a shot. Listen to what he has to say..very refreshing. Southpark rules...

  • I know Glenn Beck is like the libertarian Bill O'Riely ...

    The Guy Fawkes Money Bomb was probably the least well thought out fundraisers AND the most successfull in history ... but THIS is BULLSHIT!

    The over emphasis of Guy Fawkes being a terrorist not only misses the point, but in light of the history of our country and the actions of our forefathers, it is insulting.

    More than a few of the actions and words of our founders were things that the current regime would label "terrorist" activities ... unfortunately the reality is that stading up for liberty with physical confrontation was actualy labeled as a DUTY of the people by our founding fathers.

    But beyond that affront,
    the fact is that this fundraising effort was nothing but a financial showing of support ... which had no intended effect in similarity with that of the guy fawkes' parliment bomb than that it was intended to shock the masses and garner attention for a cause -- something it did remarkably well!

    Thank god so few people actualy pay any mind to Glenn Beck.

    :D

    I dunno.... I couldn't watch much of him at all.

    c'mon Dec 16 money bomb.
