90% of statisticians believe that all statistics are made up.. (BTW, have you ever read the FULL Washington speech that the ‘entangling alliances’ quote is taken from? You may want to check that before comparing to Paul’s position again....

Who the hell is “John Cox?” I had a barber by that name but I don’t think he’s running for president.

The stationery in the link has a different heading than your picture. Therefore it’s quite likely that he’s safe and has used “campaign stationery” for the letter containing the phone number of his PAC.

I don’t have any problem with Fred and you can do anything you want to obviously. I just think it’s silly to do the whole yawn thing.

You know good and well, once Fred gets in the next set of debates, you’ll be watching.

I’ll bet anyone $100 that after the debate, Hugh Hewitt will say that Romney won the debate.

Any takers??

Does the pic tell us that Ron Paul supporters are being taken for a ride and it’s going to cost them?

I totally understand. I usually am working during these, but I was fortunate to have the day off for a change. If I was at work, I wouldn’t be able to watch it because the puter at work doesn’t have audio and I wouldn’t have enough time either.

Have fun watching the thread!

GO HUNTER ‘08!

From George Washington’s Farewell Address. I believe it fits Paul very well.

“In the execution of such a plan, nothing is more essential than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular nations, and passionate attachments for others, should be excluded; and that, in place of them, just and amicable feelings towards all should be cultivated. The nation which indulges towards another a habitual hatred or a habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest. Antipathy in one nation against another disposes each more readily to offer insult and injury, to lay hold of slight causes of umbrage, and to be haughty and intractable, when accidental or trifling occasions of dispute occur. Hence, frequent collisions, obstinate, envenomed, and bloody contests. The nation, prompted by ill-will and resentment, sometimes impels to war the government, contrary to the best calculations of policy. The government sometimes participates in the national propensity, and adopts through passion what reason would reject; at other times it makes the animosity of the nation subservient to projects of hostility instigated by pride, ambition, and other sinister and pernicious motives. The peace often, sometimes perhaps the liberty, of nations, has been the victim.

So likewise, a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducement or justification. It leads also to concessions to the favorite nation of privileges denied to others which is apt doubly to injure the nation making the concessions; by unnecessarily parting with what ought to have been retained, and by exciting jealousy, ill-will, and a disposition to retaliate, in the parties from whom equal privileges are withheld. And it gives to ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citizens (who devote themselves to the favorite nation), facility to betray or sacrifice the interests of their own country, without odium, sometimes even with popularity; gilding, with the appearances of a virtuous sense of obligation, a commendable deference for public opinion, or a laudable zeal for public good, the base or foolish compliances of ambition, corruption, or infatuation. “

The debates start getting interesting once more of the also-rans drop out and let the big fish have a real debate.

Hopefully some more will drop out soon so we can get a better picture of the candidates.

I’m a fredhead, but I gotta admit that Romney makes these debates more interesting. He’s very charasmatic and “presidential (as they all say)” If he wasn’t such a flipflopper I might support him.

He may have a platform, but Hunter doesn’t have a campaign. Hunter appears at $10/plate campaign dinners and his campaign communications director runs a a local chain of restaurants. Puh-leez.
