My only agenda would be to support Veterans after they serve and make sure they no longer get pissed on.    

I'll run, I've thought about writing myself in 2008 just out of sheer protest.

It may be a lil tough at first Masherbrum because the moment a man arises who profoundly understands the distress of his people and, having diagnosed the evil with perfect accuracy, takes measures to cure it; the moment he fixes his aim and chooses the means to reach it – then paltry and pettifogging people become all attention and eagerly follow the doings of this man who has thus come before the public gaze.

Just like sparrows who are apparently indifferent, but in reality are firmly intent on the movements of the fortunate companion with the morsel of bread so that they may snatch it from him if he should momentarily relax his hold on it, so it is also with the human species.

All that is needed is that one man should strike out on a new road and then a crowd of poltroons will salamander up their ears and begin to sniff for whatever little booty may possibly lie at the end of that road.

The moment they think they have discovered where the booty is to be gathered they hurry to find another way which may prove to be quicker in reaching that goal.
 
As soon as a new movement is founded and has formulated a definite program, people of that kind come forward and proclaim that they are fighting for the same cause.

This does not imply that they are ready honestly to join the ranks of such a movement and thus recognize its right of priority.

It implies rather that they intend to steal the program and found a new party on it.

damn.. I would love to see paul win...

can you imagine the weeping and wailing and knashing of teeth of the media and all the socialists who think they were just getting out of iraq and making pot legal when they find out that paul is a libertarian and hates socialism?

let's put it this way... if ron paul is a compromise between left and right then that is the compromise I am willing to make..

I don't think the lefties will be quite so happy tho when they figure out just who and what they voted for.

You're assuming it's lefties that he appeals to.  If the "right" is, as the current republican party seems to indicate through their actions, into big spending and big government, then yes, it must be "lefties" who favor Paul.

But if the heart of the republican party actually favors smaller government, less entitlement spending, civil liberties and so on, then it's as "right" as it needs to be.

Make it so that the ONLY people who receive government benefits are those that serve (and their children to age 18 / end of highschool), and you'll have my vote without a second thought.



I'm glad to see Mac running on a good plan.

I am anxious to see how Paul does on Meet the Press on Sunday.  Like Fred Thompson, Paul makes sense and sounds great when reading blogs or transcripts, but in the flesh he reminds me of a crazy uncle.  

(Or in the case of Fred Thompson, he reminds me of my Grandfather when we would wake him 30 seconds before it was time for dinner.)

If he gets any air time.  It's interesting seeing how Ze Media happens to keep accidentally not covering his campaign.  They give plenty of coverage to folks who poll lower than him, but the posts of some of the people here shows that if their intent is to convince folks that he doesn't have a chance even though he's polling high, then I guess it's working.

Of course, it's usually smarter to assume incompetence instead of malice.  They might just really not get it and assume that someone telegenic like Thompson or Giuliani just _has_ to get the nomination.

If you all are interested in throwing money into a lost cause I'd like to submit my home address for donations. I have almost as good a chance as Ron Paul of being elected.

Don't worry, MT, I'm sure Hillary will still be on the ballot, so you won't be disenfranchised.
