    Paul was short-changed in Iowa.

    Wyoming - the Primary process weighed heavy on GOP stalwarts until Romney took all.

    Ratboy is right. I just hope the campaign has the wits to push him through.

  2. I guess not, Israel does not support him, so he doesn't stand a chance.

    When most of the top people in the USA regime have dual Israeli-US citizenship, that should tell you what these traitors have in mind.

    In the Thrall of AIPAC

    Why Obama Can't Save Us
    By MISSY COMLEY BEATTIE

    01/05/08 "Counterpunch" -- -- Investigative reporter Seymour Hersh recently said that Barack Obama is our "only hope" to "lead a reconciliation between the Muslim countries and the US." Why? Because Obama's father was a Muslim.

    I simply don't follow Hersh's logic here. Seems to me the actions of a president are more important than some familial affiliation with a particular religion-not to mention that candidate Obama has aligned himself with Israel.

    These are some of Obama's comments during a speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC):

    "Our job is to rebuild the road to real peace and lasting security throughout the region, "Our job is to do more than lay out another road map."

    "That effort begins with a clear and strong commitment to the security of Israel: Our strongest ally in the region and its only established democracy. "That will always be my starting point."

    And calling for sustained military support to Israel, Obama said: "We must preserve our total commitment to our unique defense relationship with Israel by fully funding military assistance and continuing work on the Arrow and related missile defense programs."

    For Barack Obama to say that "our job is to lay out another road map" for peace while we are providing military support to Israel as the country launches attacks on Palestinians is hypocrisy. There is more than a conflict of interest for the US to go to the table, act as peace brokers, and make demands. But, then, that is what we do as self-appointed police officers to the world. We decry the violence in Kenya. Condi Rice has just made a statement that it must stop. But the violence perpetrated on the Iraqi and Afghan populations by her boss's policies continues without end. Our violence is good violence. Anyone else's is barbaric.

    It matters little to me that Barack Obama says he was against invading Iraq. After all, he votes to continue funding it. If this presidential candidate wanted to mend relations with Muslims, he could start by voting against additional war funding.

    And he could say no to AIPAC-but this would be political suicide

  4. No! He has a better chance of colonizing Mars, which come to think of it, might not be a bad place for Ron and his following. :eek: :eek: :eek:

  7. Thanks for that ratboy.

    Here in North Carolina, they took Moyers off the air during prime time so I hardly ever see his show any more.

  9. When asked how much revenue would be lost by abolishing the IRS his answer was...A lot. Not the sharpest tool in the shed, obviously. When asked how many troops we have deployed overseas he had no idea. Anyone showing such ignorance cannot be taken seriously. Obviously, he has put zero thought into the consequences of his "ideas".
    Lets take just one example. He advocates pulling all troops out of Korea. Can any intellectually honest person suggest that North Korea will not take military action against the South? Can any person with even the slightest gray matter think that nukes won't be used in such an event? Millions will die as a result of just this one idiotic idea of his.
    Beyond his pointing out the obvious....government sucks, government lies...blah, blah, blah. We all know that! The man has no substance.
