Ron Paul Hopes to Crash McCain's Party
ABC News ^ | 5/13/08 | Marcus Barum

Sen. John McCain, taking a victory lap as the presumptive Republican nominee, happily poked fun at his only remaining opponent.

Asked during an appearance on "The Daily Show" last week which of the two Democratic nominees he preferred to run against in the general election, McCain quipped, "Ron Paul."

But Paul might get the last laugh during McCain's coronation at the party's convention in early September.

McCain's nomination may be certain, but he finds himself pressured by different wings of the conservative movement -- from the libertarians and the anti-war activists, to social conservatives and evangelical voters.

Don’t get your little bitcon hopes up. Paul and the Tards are going to be crashing anything. If they try something they’ll be thrown out on their anti-American, pot-smoking kook butts. Maybe you can convince them to support your new party, the CP, and Baldwin might actually break 100K votes.

I disagree. He was not voting against the cut in taxes. If you wish to parse words, that’s all right with me. But that doesn’t make your position the correct one.

LOL! He voted NO to the tax cuts. That is inalterable fact. It is you that is parsing. It is you who excuses his vote by way of his reasoning... I am going by the recorded vote, which is certainly undeniable.

Ron Paul is an evil anti-American nutjob who wants to destroy our military and surrender our country and the world to al qaeda.

don’t start with the immigration crap.
I live 15 miles north of San Diego - Tijuanaa border.

Most Americans here are fed up with their Mexican Flags and Marxist slogans.

The illegals are costing Calif. billions a year for their social services because they are to lazy to clean up their own corrupt government.

Calif. thanks to the illegals is so far in the red that the gov. is laying off huge numbers of teachers including over 1,000 here in San Diego.

Hospitals have and still are closing in the state as they
are bled dry by the illegals.

The original Constitution gave the Federal government the power to regulate trade between the States, to levy taxes and duties, to borrow funds, to grant patents and copyrights, and to mint money.

I’d say that the Constitution gives the government a LOT of leeway in regulating a free market. I’d say the original idea wasn’t the wide-open free-for-all that Paulians believe, but rather regulated.

The issue is that the Federal government has gone beyond its original limits in what areas of life it can regulate, and to feed the beast taxes and duties have greatly increased beyond what is needed.

But it’s quite Constitutional for the government to regulate the economy. Please see Article 1, section 8.

"They need to be stopped more than any of my personal agendas need to be advanced."

And this statement isn't an oxymoron to you?

Pleas. Hamas is a terrorist organization who are targeting Israel for destruction. La Raza (The People) is a political organization attempting to better the lives of Hispanic Americans.

La Raza is at best a Mexican version of the KKK, and at worst, every bit the terrorist organization that Hamas is.
They intend to take over Western USA as a communist 'Azatlan'.
They are sympathetic to the 'Palestinian Plight' too.

You had best read up on the type of people your proposed presidential candidate chooses to align himself with. Start here, this is the mild stuff:

It could be construed as so. Do you think so?

More 'friends like these' questions. More than just the pose, I would still love to know how and from whom Don Black and his psyco son got an invitation to the 'Value Voter's Debate' where this picture was taken. Each campaign was givin a limted number of tickets and the media was also limited based on the small size of the venue. This was not an event Black could have just walked into.

But isn't the idea of free market anarchy wonderful? To let it evolve organically?
