I’m surprised by Mitt. Not sure about the polls, though. Fred sounds good..

Bahaha! Tancredo- If Dubai wanted to buy Walmart, I’d think about it...LOL:) So far he and Hunter are against Dubai in NASDAQ.

So far Fred sucks. Hunter’s a good talker, he’s just hopelessly paleo. Romney is too much of a dandy. Rudy comes across pretty good, but of course he eats foetuses for breakfast, so whatever. McCain seems to be getting the most applause, but we all know he’s out. Tancredo, Paul, Brownback, and Hunter are all a waste of time. Huckabee is pretty good.

Yet that was exactly what Paul was arguing for with his absurd “middle class is in recession” Really a stupid thing to say on the same day the DOW closes at a new record. You Paulbots do grasp the significance of the fact that 55% of Americans have either pensions funds or 401ks invested in the Dow right?????

Still waiting for even ONE of you Paulbots to answer this.

Simple challenge to you Paulites. With NO slogans. NO demagoguery. NO sliming everyone else who doesn’t share your faith. Tell me HOW Paul would do anything. Here is his “Issues page”. NOT a word about what or how he would do anything. Just a bunch of slogans strung together basically screaming bile at everyone and everything.

http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/

See, you need us to support Dr Paul. We have no reason to support Dr Paul. So please explain to us WHAT and HOW a Paul Administration would do anything. Do that with OUT sliming any one. No name calling, no hysteric hyper emotive rhetoric. None of the usual Paulite personal attacks in place of reason argument. No cut and pasting of sound bite statements from Paul speeches. NO statements of what YOU think Paul means. REAL plans with documented links so we can read them for ourselves.

Grrrr.

Is there a better link for this? Either my DSL is loopy today, or MSNBC is using a semi-functional 286 for their server, but I can’t seem to get beyond 10-20 seconds of this without it hanging up and the audio cutting out.

Hunter should campaign heavily here in Michigan and the rest of the rust belt.

Good answer by Fred, the AMT is not money “lost” it’s money still in our pockets.

Fred looks and talks old.

Fred needs to get his engine running, or he won’t be going anywhere.

Great answer from Thompson — doesn’t buy the concept that lost taxes = lost revenue. The people know where to find it — it’s in their pockets.
