Ron Paul thinks it's a good idea for Iran to get themselves some nukes.

He and his batshit crazy followers disturb me, almost as much as his racist lunatic son.

The non-intellectual side of TV journalism, like Fox News and CNN, ignore him because their concern is primarily over the minutiae of political campaigning e.g. whether someone is telegenic or not, gaffes, platitudes. When you have someone like Ron Paul or even Newt Gingrich who goes out there and orates like statesmen of old, making rhetorical points backed up by explanation and example, that does not provide excitement or ratings. Some people do not have the intellectual capacity to do that like a Michelle Bachmann or a Herman Cain, and others like Mitt Romney and our President, know how to argue in such a fashion but realize that they can rely on this kind of red carpet commentary from the TV news media to avoid having to do that.



The reason the intellectual print media and beltway personalities avoid or use the same silly ad hominem "crazy" epithets is because Ron Paul represents a dismantling of the managerial state that they, as either Republicans or Democrats, want the US to remain. Ron Paul's restorationist view of policy is dangerous to continual growth of the welfare state left and hawkish neoconservative right. That's the kind of change that makes the status quo wake up with nightmares, whether you're Bill Kristol or Robert Reich, or Lindsay Graham or Hilary Clinton.

Why is the mainstream media ignoring Ron Paul? Most likely because he wants to legalize things like heroin and turn us into "Fortress America".

At best Ron Paul wants to be Emperor Paul, at worst he wants to be Hitler, since he's a racist prick.

Wow...Hitler? REALLY

Ron Paul wants to legalize all drugs btw. The drug policy in this country is ridiculous.

Tobacco and alcohol are the worst drugs on the planet, and available at the corner store....talk about hypocrisy...but you can't smoke weed..

Ohhhoooh "HEROIN oohh SCARY language!

The status quo? To me, the status quo seems to be the tea baggers. They are the loudest group of idiots at the whole convention.
The Staus Quo to me is allowing corporations and banks to determine who is going to be our president. Allowing the federal government to operate unchecked. The bottom line "to me" is that the federal government is way out of control and needs to be reigned in.

You are an idiot to think modern and civil societies don't need gov't. If you don't want any kind of gov't move to Somalia and find out just how awesome it is to live without gov't.
The Federal government is inept and can't even operate the fucking post office! They can't manage a war. Their policies are full of hypocrisy and cronyism. They don't give a fuck about you or me. They only care about rich friends.

Afghanistan wasn't a needless war, it was a necessary war but one that Bush/Cheney fucked up like the couple of douche nozzles they are. Iraq(the second time) was a needless war, most Democrats and smart Republicans didn't want it but gave Bush/Cheney the benefit of the doubt, as did the country. Bush/Cheney betrayed that trust. Cheney doesn't really seem to be bothered by it, Bush 43 does but won't come right out and admit it publicly. It only took Obama two years to accomplish what it took Bush/Cheney eight years to NOT accomplish.....getting bin Laden.
I was in favor of the war in Afghanistan but not the way it was fought. We should have leveled a few cities like we did to Japan in the 40's. That would have sent a clear message to the terrorist and their friends as to what will happen if you fuck with us. This idea that we should fight them on the ground is misguided. It's a waste of time, money and american lives. I do not believe in proportionate force.
The war in Iraq was illegal and a horrible abuse of power by Bush/Cheney period.


Do you know anything about politics or the political history of our country? Go read up on the war of 1812, WW2 and while you're at it read up on how Jefferson changed his stance on the Navy from his time as Secretary of State and VP to the time he became President and had to confront the Barbary War. mm kay

Islamic Fundamentalists ramming our passenger airlines into our buildings and not expecting some kind of serious military response is crazy and delusional. As I said..I would have nuked Afghanistan and let them to their own devices

The war in support of Kuwait was totally legal, legit and Bush 41 handled it beautifully from beginning to end. Sometimes war is necessary but should only be used as a last resort. Kuwait was a last resort, so was our response to 9/11 in Afghanistan.

Sometimes you have to spend money that you don't have in order to function in life. That's just how the world works. You Republicans and Tea Baggers should be loving Obama because he's doing EVERYTHING you want him to. He hasn't raised one red cent of income tax, hasn't raised the payroll tax and has pretty much rolled over like a dead deer for Boehner and let old, tan n' leather face fuck him up the ass a good one. I am an independent. I do not agree with the theory of spending money we don't have so..you lost me on that. Our government WASTES so much fucking money. If they didn't waste it we would have plenty to spend on the things we really need


No, the Republicans giving billion dollar corporations tax breaks and subsidies is crazy. The US government should not be bailing out any company. Let them fall and perhaps they'll learn to manage themselves better next time

We get most of our oil from Canada, yeah we are real war mongers, killing all those Canadians for our oil consumption. Our differences with the Middle East have far more to do with culture and religious differences than it does with oil.

Too many "czars" for my taste...

Anyone who thinks the federal government "knows best" is misinformed and probably living off the system.

The goverment fucks up, but if you think corporations don't fuck up, and wouldn't fuck up more if it weren't for laws and regulations the government inacted to protect you, you're misinformed, and probably an idiot.

Yeah...you're right...the government and their corporate cock sucking friends are awesome! They have put this country in the best possible position we could be in right now! What would we do without them?
We really need them to tell us what foods are good for us, what medicine we should take, what cars to buy, and what insurance company we should use for health insurance. I am not capable of making those decisions on my own.

This society is so fuckin needy and dumbed down it's fuckin crazy.

They got us right where they want us.....in a dependency column....

Corporations exist for the sole purpose of profit?
