"That’s pretty clever for someone who can only manage to string together seven letters of the alphabet in order. At least they’re in order."

Yep, you have more letters, but mine are in order.

That and he wants to legalize pot.

I guess that's a nutty idea seeing as how the federal war on drugs is doing so well at stamping out pot use. It's only been about 70 years or so since that one started, I'm sure we'll declare victory in the WOD any day now.

I would like to see Lyndon LaRouche.. a democrat who wants a strong America, not to destroy america. And has lots of ideas whether someone agrees with him or not. I can actually see some of the appeal the old school FDR dems had when I hear his ideas.

This is _supposed_ to be a conservative site. I think it’s largely a site of RNC cheerleaders and Bush sycophants.

He wants to abolish the federal laws against pot. That means it would be legal unless the states made it illegal. They support him because he wants to legalize pot.

So? Do you not support a candidate because of one position but may disagree with them on other positions? Some support Giuliani because of his non-stance on the 2nd Amendment but may disagree with him on many other things.

I think what some are failing to understand here is Ron Paul can and will get votes from literally everywhere on the spectrum. Some for his stance on the police action, some for his stance on 10th Amendment issues, some for his stance on the WOD, and even some for his stance on limited government. And there's nothing wrong with that. What is important however is that every one of his stances (unlike any other candidate) can be traced back to two things. The Constitution of these United States. And freedom.

Federalist 45 is quite clear what the role of the federal government was to be and what the role of the state governments was intended to be. And shows us the intent of the Framers in their own words on the role of the federal and state governments.

“Rue Paul would get at least 4%”

...only if the polling were conducted in a “nut house”.

Freedom is scary. It's much easier to be a content and happy house slave on the government's plantation.

Sounds like a plan. What's your address?

And those otherwise sane people who have been seized by “Fred Frenzy”. An apparent psychosis which causes blurred vision and slurred speech.

The Republican Party has always talked a good game when they were out of power. Give them the reigns of power and they become fans of big government socialist solutions to all of mankind’s problems.
Sometimes I think George Wallace was correct about the lack of difference in the two parties.

I don’t want a Dem for prez and I don’t want an establishment Repub, either. Both will continue our march down the path of national suicide.

“Who gets to be a candidate? [Ron Paul out again of Pajamas Media Poll]”

Given his extremely low poll numbers and his wont to shoot his nutter mouth off, I’m surprised anyone still backs the flake.

To: Grunthor
From the WIKI:

Grunthor is one of the three original main characters of Elizabeth Haydon's series, the Symphony of Ages. He is a man of giant proportions, part Firbolg, part Bengard. Grunthor is a loving friend and a terrible enemy, his war songs often tell tales of battle or his favorite wench. He wears a massive weapon collection on his back set as a sunfether and has named them all, his favorite a pole axe named Sal(short for Salutations) or a thin two handed sword named Lopper.

Yes, Grunthor seems to love war.

Who would have thought Republicans were so much like Democrats....

Recent history bears plenty to witness, to anyone with two or more brain cells to rub together. Blackbird.
