    This is true, and the easy way out discussing politics that I got sick of in '04... While I had plenty of problems with Kerry, I got so sick of people saying that he didn't have a plan for this issue or that issue... The guy could have gave an hour long speech on what he would do about health care (or any issue) and that night, the republican talking points would be that he didn't have a plan about health care... Instead of picking it apart and debating it, it was much easier to say he didn't have one...

    No. Idealistic vision without ACTION won't change a damn thing. (ask the hippies why the 60s failed.)

    And Ghandi and King accomplished what they did because they backed up their beliefs with action.


    So again, i'm not sure what your point is.
    Are you insinuating that Ron Paul does not intend to take action, or are you simply saying that the "establishment" will refuse the actions he attempts?

    Regarding the 60's : Civil Rights, Womens Liberation, and the Sexual Revolution, Rock & Roll As Pertinent Free Speech, Acceptance of Non-Conformity (har har) ...

    These were all failures, huh?
    If I was to smile and I held out my hand
    If I opened it now would you not understand?

    I'm saying that Ron Paul isn't capable of taking action, not only because of the "establishment," but also because Ron Paul is unable to see the larger picture and understand the implications of his actions.

    Oh he's probably ok at chess, he's just doesn't like using the bloody mangled corpses of children as the pieces and force himself to feel indifferent about it.

    That's noble in itself though.

    He is a doctor by profession, OBGYN, and was a surgeon in the Air Force. Serves in Congress. He seems like a real outsider type of candidate, writing essays on the concept of power in politics, FDA regulation, the Federal Reserve, and war propoganda. Voted against the Patriot Act and has never voted to raise Congressional Pay.

    I am intrgued, anyone else?

    i was all for him, until i saw your post that he was an OBGYN... any man who is an OBGYN has gotta be more than a little fucked in the head...but, then again, anyone running for president is more than fucked in the head...

    Are you actually saying that Ron Paul could be any worse than the sorry excuse piece of crap that you have as a talking puppet now?

    What exactly has the talking puppet done for america other instill fear and take you into another pointless war.

    You guys should try voting for change and stop listening to republican propaganda.
    Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!

    The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.

    ron paul is a nitwit... and his followers are blind.

    If a candidate can't answer, "what comes next," he has no place in the white house.

    So, I put to you, the fanboys, "If Ron Pauls wins the presidency, WHAT COMES NEXT?"

    godpt3, who do you plan to vote for and why?

    Get Sylvester Stallone in there.

    F-ing Rambo action for real...then fly that flag highhh (makes me laugh, and want to cry at the same time)

    Picture yourself and your entire family dying of starvation...then imagine I stole (or have) your/the last bit of food. What would you do?

    Want answers? look to the animals...they will show you how it really is.
