Where was the Ron Paul crowd when Mayor Daley needed them?

I am inclined to agree with Ron Paul on this.

Were the voters smoking the straw? That could account for his win...

He’s right about the drug war. He’s so very wrong that there is a strong parallel between it and the war between Islamofacism and the rest of the world. In the first case, the root causes are the human desire for intoxication that in some cases turns terribly destructive, plus the government’s willingness to make war on its own citizens to try to stomp it out. In the second case, there’s a violent, expansionist religious sect that has been able to use oil money to export itself around the world and wage war on modern civilization. I don’t see the comparison.

ellery, please stop making sense and saying something intelligent. It makes my head hurt. Just stick to the carefully crafted talking points and call Paul "Assface".

I don't have to explain anything. You provided this quote.

Without some understanding why terrorism is directed towards the United States, we may well build a prison for ourselves with something called homeland security while doing nothing to combat the root causes of terrorism. Let us hope we figure this out soon. We have promoted a foolish and very expensive domestic war on drugs for more than 30 years. It has done no good whatsoever. I doubt our Republic can survive a 30-year period of trying to figure out how to win this guerilla war against terrorism. Hopefully, we will all seek the answers in these trying times with an open mind and understanding.

Bump!!

I call it like I see it. It’s the truth. No candidate wins polls by landslide margins like that if there is a quorum. I like Paul and his philosophy a lot, but I don’t support him for POTUS.

In politics and democratic activism, a quorum is not necesary. Most sheeple are disinterested. The squeekiest wheel gets the oil.

Any government that supports, protects or harbours terrorists is complicit in the murder of the innocent and equally guilty of terrorist crimes.

Milton Friedman is a tree hugging pot head. I hate liberals like Milton Friedman.

What a liberal puke!

William Buckley is a hippie freak that wants to sell dope to your kids. I hate liberals like William Buckley.

What a bunch of losers Buckley and Friedman are. They are just a bunch of dope addicts hiding behind principles like “small government” and “individual liberty”. Nobody here believes in those concepts anymore anyway.

I think we should bring back alcohol prohibition. It worked so well the first time.

You can go ahead and call out for all the cult. I’m too tired to examine all the Pro Ron Paul poppycock tonight.

To: Milton Friedman
Hi Milton. I met you 20 years ago, and told you about my college Econometrics computer model. My model back in 1986 showed that the US GDP would be 0 by 1998. We laughed and you explained that my computer was not plugged in.

You may be gone, but you are not forgotten by people like me who you influenced.

"What most people really object to when they object to a free market is that it is so hard for them to shape it to their own will. The market gives people what the people want instead of what other people think they ought to want. At the bottom of many criticisms of the market economy is really lack of belief in freedom itself. The essence of political freedom is the absence of coercion of one man by his fellow men. The fundamental danger to political freedom is the concentration of power. The existence of a large measure of power in the hands of a relatively few individuals enables them to use it to coerce their fellow men. Preservation of freedom requires either the elimination of power where that is possible, or its dispersal where it cannot be eliminated. It essentially requires a system of checks and balances, like that explicitly incorporated in our Constitution..."

-- Milton Friedman, The New Liberal's Creed: Individual Freedom, Preserving Dissent Are Ultimate Goals," May 18, 1961

Your opinion of Paul is of no concern to the thousands of folks who are out there supporting him. He’s raised $5.3 million dollars in the 3Q and is already over $1 million for this month alone. You’re not changing anyone’s minds, but have fun marginalizing yourself & engaging in the same lame-old pot references and Soros jokes to the point of shrill desperation, as evident of your multiple posts on your own thread.

Let me help you edit and write your post.

You can go ahead and call out for all the cult. I’m too tired to examine all the Pro Ron Paul poppycock tonight.

What you meant to say is:

Despite the fact that Mr. Paul has the highest rating of all Congressman by the National Taxpayers Union (84%) and supports the nominally established GOP position in favor of limited government, I can not support him for POTUS because I don't agree with his foreign policy. In addition, I believe that what my fellow citizens ingest should be the Government business. I promise to stand by this precedent when the Gubmint tells me that Cheeseburgers are illegal since they displease the state by contributing to type 2 diabetes and increasing taxpayer costs for Universal Healthcare.

Congratulations EEE, you just made someone run from their own post.

BTW, I liked your old tagline better. (tagline deleted by moderator)
