Ron Paul Rises

[Mazmaz]

1. Quannum is there a video for that
2. Wait, so Ron Paul is against war on drugs but wanted to ban cigarettes?

[SwampdonkeyPLD]

you brought up the CBO, now you're throwing out its findings because you don't like them?

fuck you

I'm not necessarily sure there's a contradiction b/w what I posted and what you posted. I'm obviously not an economist, but I think you can create public sector jobs and there still be a net drag on the economy.

The only thing that graph shows is that as unemployment rises, the government spends more...you could interpret that graph as spending creates jobs OR spending destroys them lol

You guys know what's funny?

The idea that laissez faire markets as purposed by Austrian economics would lead to a class of super wealthy elite who would dictate the almost every aspect of our social and political life causes so much disdain. Meanwhile we are talking about banks that are too big to fail, corporate bailouts and billionaire super pacts. I find this hilarious.

I'm betting Ron Paul was putting drugs into context by saying cigarettes kill more people than drugs do each year.

In the post-debate CNN analysis, Romney was mentioned 87 times, Gangrich 84, Rancorum 76, and Ron 1 time.

Weird that they'd focus on the people who have a chance to win.

Which is not the case at all since Paul's position in the race has been frequently blacked out and the results reframed. Derp

SUch bs

Evangelical Voters: Newt may be an adulterer, but he's OUR adulterer!

As the returns from South Carolina come in, we find that about two-thirds of SC Republican voters are evangelicals, and the evangelicals have spoken loudly: If Democrats are adulterers, they are evil, but if it is a Republican, well, all is forgiven.

[archibaldcrane]

Man, politics just aren't fair, Ron Paul should be the nominee if he didn't actually have to get supporters from the idiot human population!

[Ragnus]

If RP actually doesn't have the support, then no, he shouldn't have the nomination. But it's been apparent that he's been stonewalled by everyone through the whole race.

Well, yeah. It's pretty standard protocol for them to see every liberal as the Marquis De Sade when it comes to sexuality and views.

While this is in jest, it really is sad.

You're hilarious if you think Santorum has a chance to win.

He's won one of the 3 primaries so far!

The longer both Santorum and Gingrich stay in the race, the better it is for Romney since they're splitting the evangelical/ultraconservative vote. If Gingrich for some reason quit before Santorum, it would be interesting.

Don't underestimate how much the republicans don't want to nominate a Massachusetts mormon.

Isn't one of the main reasons he's lacking support, the fact that he's been largely censored out of mainstream media coverage in the first place?

No, the main reason is that he doesn't represent the popular position for republicans on dozens and dozens of issues. He gets booed for bringing up "The Golden Rule" as a foreign policy idea, for example.

I just can't feel sorry for him. I mean, he's running as a republican, what else could he possibly expect?

Well, if you were a Christian you'd expect Christians to respond well to citing The Golden Rule as something to follow...
