lord_casek Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 I'm already hip to the Republican agenda for the next 4 years... turns out, the rich get richer! truthfully, i'm not down for most of the dipshits on the panel. or most of the modern republicans, but i am down for a guy who votes "no" to a raise every time they bring it up. he also drives an economy car, which lets me know that he cares about where our money is spent and doesn't give two shits about a new jag on the american peoples bill. ABOLISH THE FED! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smart Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Well, Alan Greenspan did more to stimulate the economy and keep money in my pocket than any of the Presidents of the last 20 years so I'm not gonna be able to agree w/ you there but... that's another argyment. The debate is going to be covered on MSNBC, which is a tacit way of saying that the NBC Thursday night line up will go forward untouched. Thank GOD that Joe Lunchbox won't miss My Name is Earl! The whole 'cable coverage' issue just smacks of the elitism that plagues both parties these days. The FCC is all about making sure the average citizen glimpses nary a tit on network TV but leaves the most important issues facing our nation to cable coverage? Of course the networks are going to sluff it off on the cable news channels because they say the ratings are low when they cover debates or the state of the union... it's like letting a candy company plan dinner. "But the children don't want beef and broccoli, they wan't ice cream!" Sometimes you just gotta eat your veggies and until I hear a single elected official echo that sentiment I'm convinced that debates (both party) are just an elitist circle jerk. I'll try to find it on the radio but probably I'll just watch Survivor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wickeder Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Got my Ron Paul bumper stickers in the mail a few days ago (never once sported a bumper sticker for a prez. until now)... switched from the dem to the rebulican party about a month ago because of Ron... Got his picture on my myspace and definitely tryin' to spread the word about this guy. He's got a large following of people that don't rely on mainstream television to get information about politicians. As far as i'm concerned this guy is a dream come true for any American's life, liberty and the persuit of happiness. RON PAUL 08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lord_casek Posted May 4, 2007 Author Share Posted May 4, 2007 speaking of which: Ron Paul Wins MSNBC Debate Poll Ron Paul steps into national spotlight FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 4, 2007 ARLINGTON, VA – Congressman Ron Paul finished first in the MSNBC poll following the GOP primary debate last night held at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California. Dr. Paul received 43 percent, beating the second-place finisher by five points, and crushing the rest of the field. "Last night, Americans met Ron Paul and loved what they heard," said Ron Paul 2008 campaign chairman Kent Snyder. "Dr. Paul's message of freedom and limited government resonates with Republicans hungry for a return to their party’s core values." "Ron Paul is the only true conservative in the GOP race. Americans saw that last night," continued Snyder. "The campaign looks forward to further debates and opportunities so even more Americans will discover Dr. Paul's message of freedom, peace and prosperity."

angelofdeath Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 he is confirmed for the next debate. honestly, like paul, i have low expecations. it would be awesome if he won, but his path is really about education. you are right casek, they call him a liberal all the time. the neo cons call him a liberal because of his war stance, totally missing his points about old right guys being for no aggressive war. i just feel honored in my life to support the most pro liberty candidate with the most pro liberty voting record in american history. yes, even more pro liberty than thomas jefferson and robert taft.
