Dr. Ron Paul has become an internet sensation, according to his website www.RonPaul2008.com. The Ron Paul 2008 site states that he is the most requested Republican candidate on Eventful.com, a site which allows users to request that a person (usually an entertainer) visit their area. In addition, the Ron Paul 2008 site reports that Dr. Paul has twice as many You Tube subscribers as all of the other Republican candidates combined.

Please tell me you are just enjoying a bit of rhetorical flourish. I would like to think more highly of you than to entertain the idea that you truly believe the idiotic nonsense you just stated. Are you genuinely that stupid, or are you just engaging in a bit of hyperbole to make some (as of yet unknown) point?
The “Ron Paul sensation” is more specifically described as a dull throb with attendant drowsiness.
Yes you did...
Dr. Paul's stance has always been that if you are going to go to war, declare war. Don't do it via UN mandates.
Duh... Stop attributing to him motives that others have expressed. If you want to bash Pat Buchanan for instance, feel free. Just don't put his words in Dr. Paul's mouth.
Further, go back and re-read what Dr. Paul said. He never stated that he thought we had brought this on ourselves. He said we needed to look at what our Enemy is saying. "Know they enemy" is a good thing to do.
Of course, you'd know that if you were really interested in debate instead of just slandering your betters...
Well, so does the "Farting Preacher" but I wouldn't vote for either one of them.
Fixed your cheap shot for ya. You can pay me later.
You implied that referring to the income of company officers was irrelevant because profits go to shareholders.
In this day and age the bulk of high-ranking company officers' compensation is in shares and options on shares.
Usually the largest non-institutional shareholder of a public company is an officer.
You're right - true conservatives burn American flags and undermine our troops.

Ah, direct quote. It seems that YOU are the cheap shot artist, all in a desperate attempt to push a nutbar moonbat candidate whose primary role in this election is unintended comic relief.
I’m with ya!! And get us out the NAU.

It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle
But heck what does 3000 year old advice do for us? Compared to the 'wisdom' by the folks at the Weakly Standard and the geniuses in the administration, Sun Tzu is a hasbeen.....

That is the way it SHOULD work. Corporate reality is something far different. One of the suggested reforms for corporations is a mandated percentage of stock owned by officers and a corporate salary tied to the stock price of the cmpany. I am not saying I agree with those remedies, but it is interesting to note that they are projected cures for the inflated corporate salaries we have in the USA.
Bunch of stuff like that floating around out there these days. Fortunately, anyone with a room temp IQ or higher doesn't believe a word of it...
No. True conservatives:
1 support our troops,
2wave the flag and
3 demand government accountability, rather than just brainlessly believing anything that comes out of a politicians mouth.
Statists hold to two of these three. Guess which one of the three they are too stupid to figure out?
Well, reality intervenes.
Corporate officers are at a distinct disadvantage from other shareholders because their inside knowledge prevents them from trading their stock as freely as a regular investor.
Say the balloon payment is due on my summer home in two weeks and I just found out that my company lost a contract - which we cannot disclose to the larger market for competitive purposes until we announce earnings in a month's time.
If I sell shares now to pay for it, I am risking a ruinous legal investigation for insider trading.
Maybe he's the Viagra candidate.

If you could exercise that prodigious research engine to read the next sentence....? We will wait........,
Cheap shot, or direct partial quote.
Fixed it again for ya. Now the question reads as it should and is a tautology, as it should be.

I love you too, sunshine.
Frothingly yours,

It was a direct quote, though you tried to lie to the contrary.
"Flakey?" Ron Paul and Tom Tancredo are the only two announced candidates in either party, who have even shown familiarity with what our written Federal Constitution, actually says. If Paul is "flakey," what are the others?
Each of the candidates holds, or has held elective office. Each has sworn to uphold the Constitution. Yet only Paul and Tancredo, actually look to the Constitution as a litmus test for whether policies are acceptable or not. Remember, the Constitution creates the Federal Government. It has no existence--no legal or moral existence, outside the Constitution.
The others remind one of an "architect," trying to build castles in the sky. It won't scan.
Paul is one of the only two announced candidates, in either party, who is clearly not "flakey." And when some of his detractors finally find the courage to debate the issues, his numbers are really going to soar. On the other hand, he already has enough grass roots support, that if the poseurs running against him try to ignore him, they are going to get a jolt that they will not soon forget.
