Farewell Ron Paul

Quote from JCBLESS:

We will miss Congressman Ron Paul,
He stood for liberty when very few had
the courage too.

the courage also?

yes, I think he and I agreed on that Orwellian "Department of Education"

It's a shame what has happened to these kids today.

I had the courage.

And like you say, I'm pretty sure he had it too.
 
Quote from smilingsynic:

It is a fact that he has had no problem bringing home government pork--millions toward domestic shrimp marketing, so local businesses can get a leg up on their foreign competitors.

This so-called free market-supporting congressman hypocritically walks around with the Constitution in his pocket, condemning reckless spending that goes against the Constitution, while accepting earmarks.

And yet the sheeple are impressed, as if this was a man of courage and principle, not an opportunist counting on the failure of people to fact check.

As if shrimp marketing was in the Constitution, or even the Federalist Papers. Wonder if he ever talked about that in his, um, newsletters, lol.

Ron Paul's adherence to his so-called principles was about as weak as Larry King's urine stream. Talk is cheap, and Paul made a career at talking plenty of bullshit.

As I said, good riddance.

Sorry dude but you just don't understand how earmarks work.
His constituents ask him to ask for some money back.
And so he does.
And then he votes against the entire budget because its bullshit.
But of course it passes because bullshit always passes.
If he doesn't give the money back to his constituents them it gets spent by the executive branch.

Another genius poster with no understanding of how the system works. All he likes to do is say "earmarks" and then say that any congressman who gets them for his district is bad.

Moron.

I'm a little confused. What exactly is a "moron"? Is that the same as a "retard"?

but I agree, if someone has a mental handicap, they should be properly identified, so nobody mistakes them for a thoughtful poster on ET.
 
Quote from zdreg:

"thoughtful poster on ET." is an oxymoron.

ok, I got you, when we were in college we started calling Pizaa "zah" just to sound cool.

It was a very simple formula. You just took what normal people said and left off the first syllable. And that created "slang."

So a moron is really just an oxymoron in the way you kids talk today

are you sure he really understands what he is doing?

He sounds kind of "square" to me

and that is not cool daddyo

gotta get hip to the 21'st century

it's already 13 years old

get your lingo together man

the milestone was "The Department of Education"

What we need now is "The Department of Internet Posting."
 
otherwise

I know there are plenty of families out there

who have a child suffering

and to use their condition as a derogatory term

is really unfeeling and cruel

there's plenty for us to fight over, without going down to those uneeded depths
 
I was concerned about Ron Pauls foreign policy because his isolationism may have worked if we had put it into place a long time ago... it seemed odd given the current state of the world.

Would Al Queda leave us alone if we all of sudden a President said we are isolationist now.

The would seem as naive as Obama thinking the world would love us now that he was President.
 
The problem is the media, by large is in the pockets of the big business/special interests that Mr. Paul crusades against. They mocked and ignored him, ON PURPOSE, through the entire election.
He is right in many aspects and I liked his direct approach too. The voting populous is generally speaking, also a stupid TV/Sports watcher simpleton ready to be sheared and manipulated.

Quote from bjklt96:

Mr. Paul if only you were good looking and outgoing enough to win over the media maybe you could have made something happen. I didn't agree with everything he wanted to do but his candor and common sense will be missed.

I use to work for the media

the one and only thing they care about is ad revenue

the owner was very conservative, even held fund raisers for republicans at his house

but his newspaper was extremely left wing, darn near communist

I asked him and he said, "Circulation, my boy."
