Keep in mind that Obama kept in place essentially all of the spending increases of the Bush administration, both military and domestic, but did indeed add many billions more spending to what was already out of control.

What this tells me is what I know all along -- that people are not the cardboard heroes and villains the press, the politicians, and particularly the neocons, try to make them out to be. For example, while Ahmadinejad has some extreme views and like any sensible person I disagree with him on...

Who is really paranoid? Me, who just wants us to live at peace with the rest of the world, or you, who is frightened that the Muzzies will nuke Dayton and Topeka? When I see all the necon fear mongering it is obvious to me who is paranoid.

How am I a nut case? Because I don't like unending wars? Because I want to see the Bill of Rights upheld? Because I don't like trillion dollar deficits? The nut cases are the ones voting for Gingrich, Santorum, Romney, and Obama. Who think that what this country really needs is more of what...

You can't explain why Paul is a kook so all you Romneytards, Gingrichtards, and Santorumtards can do is say he has a tinfoil hat. Yup, Mr. Tinfoil hat predicted the housing crisis while all your neocon pals were certain that endless deficits and wars would keep the economy on track forever...

Public education is not the business of the federal government at all. If our politicians followed the Constitution this whole debate would be moot. People who want to improve public education would put their efforts where it matters -- at the local level.

So you'll back anybody who will keep us in endless pointless wars, give us more trillion dollar deficits (apparently okay so long as Republicans are doing it), and continue to shred the Bill of Rights (I hope you enjoy your obligatory strip search to get on a plane). Trader666: An exemplar...

Yes it does. Our overlords are *always* looking for another war to get into. It doesn't matter whether Republicans or Democrats are in power, they're the same damn party anyway.

You are against Ron Paul's foreign policy. That means you want us to have hundreds of military bases in dozens of countries and jump into any damn war that happens to come along. (Such as, say, a civil war in Libya.) Playing world cop costs us many, many billions of dollars each year. So...

Why would I send you a check? I'm not the one who wants to spend billions on stupid foreign wars.

I think the world will get along with that "huge void" just fine. I would take you more seriously if you would agree to pay twice as much income tax so we could keep the empire going without bankrupting ourselves.

So acting like a normal country is too radical? Paul wants us to have Switzerland's foreign policy and I'd say that they're in far less danger from terrorists or invaders than we are.

Every President of the past several decades has trampled on the Constitution. So why single out Obama?

Romney is the Republican version of Obama (Romneycare, tells the public what he thinks they want to hear, is telegenic.) But if it's a choice between Obama and Obama-R, people will go for the real thing.

No establishment Republican (or for that matter, any ET war monger) will ever admit it, but the only Republican who has a chance against Obama is Ron Paul.

When I see people go for Gingrich I have to wonder what brain worm infected them. Yes, Obama sucks, but it does not follow that every alternative is an improvement.

I agree with Jane Harman that the full transcripts should be released. I suspect they will not reflect well upon Jane Harman.

The very first tweets proclaiming the existence of the notorious video went directly to known Ron Paul haters, not to any Ron Paul supporters: http://www.theendrun.com/the-china-jon-huntsman-fraud-deconstructed This didn't stop the media from falling for it hook, line and sinker. Given...

You do need to be born in the USA to be a "natural born citizen", a requirement for being President. My understanding of the case is that the prosecution is <i>not</i> claiming that Obama was born outside of the United States (contrary to what some of the audience in the court room might think)...

Add "executive agreement" to "executive order" and "signing statement" as favorite means for the president to bypass the Constitution.
