—And only Lou Dobbs and Ron Paul can save us!—

Well, now that you mention it ...

[1rudeboy]

LOL—If it boils down to those two clowns, we’re doomed.

I guess you’re doomed, then. I’d see Dr. Paul as President ANT day over Obambi OR McLame!!! Zero hope with Zero! Or McLame.

[dcwusmc]

ANT=ANY!!!

[1rudeboy]

Ron Paul as President would be an unmitigated disaster, but Obama would eke out the victory on the grand disaster scale.

Thinking that McCain would be worse than Paul is just not very clear thinking.

[dcwusmc]

“Thinking that McCain would be worse than Paul is just not very clear thinking.”

Only to someone who already has no respect for the Constitution.

[1rudeboy]

Don’t make me laugh. If Paul was elected, I’d probably move to Gitmo because it would be the only place safe from terrorist attack.

[dcwusmc]

Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. At the least, Ron Paul would CLOSE THE BORDERS. Something no one else was (or is) wont to do.

[1rudeboy]

I’ll wager Ron Paul couldn’t find the border on a map . . . and if he did, he’d start yammering about “foreign entanglements.”

[dcwusmc]

And you’d lose. On both counts. Give it a rest with bashing the man. You have NO IDEA what it is you’re talking about, anyway. That talking points memo is out of date.

[1rudeboy]

You seem like a bright fellow. I'd like to see your excuse as to why Paul's supporters are so, umm, "challenged." Until you arrived, the guy posting the Paul vids: 1. didn't know the difference between the EC and the WTO, 2. enjoyed posting Democrats whining about this and that, 3. wasn't aware of the legislative history creating the WTO, and 4. misrepresented the legislative history that he thought he understood.

That's simply regarding the subject matter of this particular thread.

[dcwusmc]

Then that would be HIS problem, wouldn’t it? Has zilch point squat to do with Ron Paul.

[1rudeboy]

I saw that a lot during the campaign. “All of the Ron Paul supporters are nuts, but not me.”

[dcwusmc]

Now you KNOW that I did not call him nuts, you did, nor have I ever said all RP supporters are nuts but me. Some may have been MORE ENTHUSIASTIC than others... but supporting Ron Paul last year was the LEAST nutty thing one could do!!! Now, supporting Fred or Rudy Or McRomney...????

A U.S. crackdown on European online gambling breaches World Trade Organization rules and would justify action at the World Trade Organization, the European Commission said on Thursday. The European Union executive, which oversees trade policy for the 27-nation bloc, said its draft report found that such U.S. laws hampered trade and thus were inconsistent with WTO rules but stressed it would seek a negotiated solution. "It is for the U.S. to decide how best to regulate Internet gambling in its market, but this must be done in a way that fully respects WTO obligations," EU Trade Commissioner Catherine Ashton said in a statement.
