Ron Paul does try to make sure that budget bills include money for his district. Then he votes against them. His view is that the government shouldn't be spending so much money, but if the other 434 representatives insist upon massive deficit spending at least his constituents should get some of their money back. Ron Paul's voting record consists of a very long string of NO votes. That's why he's called Dr. No. Given that most of our laws suck, voting NO nearly every time is a very good record.
Oblahblah is keeping his Nobel Peace Prize! http://www.politico.com/politico44/...nse_dccb5644-d067-404b-8580-b939a4056f06.html The comments appear to be almost 100% against him, as would be expected. My main comment would be that with all due respect, I really don't see why he would have won a peace prize in the first place (I know it's all politics, etc. but it is just so stupid it's laughable).

Perhaps "people with barely functioning brains" is a better way to put it. Republicans have a habit of making dumbasses their leaders, nevermind the whole religious right and fundamentalist wing that always seems to be Republican. Men evolved from CaveMen but some of the these people not very efficiently. What kind of a country elects George W. Bush to be their leader ? Probably the same one that would consider Sarah Palin. Are these people the best you can do ?
The declaration of Independence. IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776 The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/document/index.htm
I've always loved this quote.....but I am having mixed emotions since Bearice is the one who posted it! Ha!
all due respect for what? Being a stooge and clown incapable of proper leadership? The vote is telling. This type of sentiment can only help Ron Paul and those who agree with him.
You cannot run from Bearice. I can run faster than a Cheetah and Bearice can think faster than a super-computer.
Hmmm, sucks for you since I can run faster than a Bugatti Veyron at top speed and can think faster than a super super computer.
Is 120 Tomahawk missile strike on Libya a cover-up for Japan's nuclear tragedy? Other forum: 7 days ago the idea of war on Libya was completely rejected by the majority of the UN security council. The US position was against a military involvement in Libya. Here's what MSN published of Hilary Clinton's address to the House of appropriations committee I believe just prior to the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. This is from the West Australian dated March 11, 2011. Quote: Clinton also expressed deep doubts about proposals to set up a "no-fly" zone over Libya, saying previous no-fly zones set up over Iraq and Serbia had had little effect⦠"Absent international authorization, the United States acting alone would be stepping into a situation whose consequences are unforeseeable," Clinton said. Clinton said the United States was focusing on humanitarian relief and building links to Libya's opposition groups⦠Clinton... said a proposed a no-fly zone over the country may not be the best one. "I want to remind people that we had a no-fly zone over Iraq. It did not prevent Saddam Hussein from slaughtering people on the ground and it did not get him out of office," Clinton said. "We had a no-fly zone and then we had 78 days of bombing in Serbia. It did not get Milosevic out of office. It did not get him out of Kosovo until we put troops on the ground with our alliesâ¦" http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/...n-warns-against-unilateral-u-s-move-on-libya/ Now what happened to change things in just 7 days? I suggest the possibility the Libyan war is a useful distraction from the nuclear catastrophe developing in Japan. England, France, and the US are heavily invested in nuclear energy. You might want to look at the involvement or planned involvement of governments to establish a nuclear energy sector in those other countries supporting the 'humanitarian' military strike against Libya. The radiation situation in Japan is far worst than many governments are letting on, that is those governments heavily invested in new nuclear construction projects. You just can't miss the fact the process of evacuating international personnel has been quietly accelerated largely under the public radar over the past two days. Most if not all of the international search and rescue teams have left Japan two days ago. Compare this to Christchurch where the last international USAR left more than three weeks after the earthquake. The Japanese search and rescue team were still in Christchurch right up until the earthquake in Japan. Add to that the US military have been evacuating from Honshu island since two days ago. The insanity of starting a new war in Northern Africa suddenly begins to appear more logical. Rational no, logical yes.'
