ron paul...?

kind of like the scene in "No End In Sight" where Bush goes off on the estimations of his military planners in post-war Iraq and calls them guesses. He hadn't read the article, either, even after they had labored to squeeze it into one page. Don't tell me you've really got a problem with...

he backs bush on basically everything (I know why Vi likes him ; ) The other day, he claimed that he was a libertarian, and then started criticizing Paul as a poor representative of libertarianism. Why? Because he's not mainstream enough. That is, not "neo-con" enough. Not belligerent...

yeah, he would. That's what's so scary about these views. The constitution can be violated without a peep from Vi. He's hedging his bets and towing the party line. Man, how much fear does a person have to be facing to saw that the law should no longer apply? That human rights will no longer...

$4.3 million in 24 hrs., baby!!! Over 7.2 million and counting, from ordinary Americans, no special interest money, in approximately 1/3 of the time it took him to raise his "impressive" $5.2 million last quarter. I read people are pushing for $20 million by Christmas. The more media exposure...

The one american who has had this done to him, the one who knew he would not die, called it torture. If you've never been waterboarded, Wavels, and all the people who have say it's torture, what light can you shed? I suppose you could cite someone again who's never been tortured, but that...

Being pro-torture is not a liberal or leftist position. Its bipartisan legal prohibition means that even conservatives are concerned with human rights; but only the real conservatives, Wavel. This warmongering, this aggressive pro-empire scare shaming that you and Vi spit out to people who...

Really, Vi. I would have thought that you would have recognized that a fat check doesn't mean jack shit for results. Those people are still waiting, just as med said. And if it's so socialist, then what the hell are you doing praising it!?! (as the real conservative we both know you as) I...

way to confront them and reassure us that we should just shut up and let the people who support this disaster tell us how to think, Vi.

specifically on waterboarding. yeah, it's torture. The only thing separating "enhanced interrogation techniques" from torture is the propaganda and secrecy surrounding US torture.

We torture. It doesn't matter what the official says, or promises. We torture those people or we have other people do it. I heard a story about a guy having his genitals cut up with razorblades once a month in US custody in Afghanistan; it was routine. We are disgusting in the places...

no one is criticizing real capitalism. but fascism, and corrupt money policies... yeah, i could do without those. That's how people steal from me without me knowing about it... Then stupid people tell me that my money still has value and it wasn't printed to save some poor rich bastard's ass...

Are the rich getting richer: yes. Are the poor getting richer: no. Being rich doesn't mean being able to buy shit you don't need with money you don't have. Notice there was no talk of the loans that these people take out (and are unable to pay back). And saying the poor are doing well...

I think that people who criticize "pure free markets" in the health care system as evil are the people who aren't able to conceive of themselves as being part of it. They don't understand the equalizingforce of returning to a market where the big insurance companies can face competition...

so i'll shamelessly shill for Ron Paul, seeing as it's allowed here... To say Ron Paul doesn't have a chance is ridiculous: the only evidence that doesn't overturn this argument completely are the scientific polls done on land-lines by people who don't like Ron Paul, and often leave him out of...

You dodged my question and just repeated the old talking point, med. The point is that A and B have yet to be decided, and the media and party heads are dictating what A or B candidate is acceptable. This is corruption of democracy in its essential character; deviants of the corrupt yet...

As far as I know, med, the person with the most votes wins. I know that this system likes to promote the myth among intellecutal voters like yourself that one must be strategic, even Machiavellian, when voting. This simply is not the case. It is not infantile to vote for whom you want to win...

and who do you vote for when they are both dictators? the one with lipstick? the flaw in your own logic med, is that you are choosing from one of two choices they give to you. And both of these frontrunners (or top three in both parties) are all a continuation of this disaster. If you think...

So i'm pulling out the HPS out of my closet and testing my newly constructed cold cathode light in its place. I figure that it's worth testing it out right away on what really counts: can you flower a plant with it? Well, my plants are still alive, and are greening up after a long drought and...

ditto! Go Ron Paul! He's the only one that will end the war! He has a better chance than Dennis Kucinich. Anyone know exactly how much Paul reported for the third quarter?!? WHOOOO!!! (sorry for my enthusiasm:-|)
