I'd be fine with a Ron Paul nomination--it actually interests me. Let the Republican party big wigs--the corrupt assholes who've ruined my grandparents' party--swallow that, hopefully they'll choke on it.Originally Posted by Deb C

"There have always been people who say: "The war will be over someday." I say there's no guarantee the war will ever be over. Naturally a brief intermission is conceivable. Maybe the war needs a breather, a war can even break its neck, so to speak. But the kings and emperors, not to mention the pope, will always come to its help in adversity. ON the whole, I'd say this war has very little to worry about, it'll live to a ripe old age."
I had to look this up. You are correct that the executive branch is not needed. If the Justice Department will not act, the Congress can appoint its own counsel to take the matter to court. Still, if the AG is asked to act on a congressional contempt matter, he/she can always say yes.
Its an interesting separation of powers problem.

.....Bingo!Now tell me, how are you going to give that to them? Or, do you just see that question as mental masturbation not worthy of your obvious brilliance?
Pretty weak dodge. I guess next we'll get the "I know what I am, but what does that make you?!" If your busy or fatigue, why don't you just say so instead of bringing this weak stuff? I'd understand.
Oh, you're back to that stuff. Okay, but remember our talk about you being honest about it?
You know, mentioning that you're critique is not of MMT per se but of any centralized system including the present one, in which MMT or ANY other macro-economic theory would need to operate within?
Again, I get that you believe everything will devolve to your magic pony land of he-men living off the land while producing Ferraris in their garages - you know, like that other Libertarian dream world called Somalia - but don't you think it would be much more honest to clearly state so?
I mean, even Ron Paul is a little bit honest about it.

I plan to get out next week one day. What's it like out there in the real world? You seem to have a real grasp on it. Show me the light playwrite.
The GOP nuts in Minnesota have jumped the shark, which was inevitable because Movement Conservatism is incompatible with Minnesota's Yankee culture.
State GOP staggered by debt, scandal
These morons will be thrown out of the legislature next year

I would suggest some time volunteering at a local food bank or kitchen -
That will bring some perspective to the oh-so-terrible problem of federal deficits and inflation just around the corner bullshit as well as perhaps challenge someone's apathy over the lack of living wages in this nation of ours. Also, I promise that you will feel better afterwards than just playing another game of Bingo.A survey of 29 cities conducted by the U.S. Conference of Mayors being released Thursday points to a gloomy outlook for those on the lower end of the income scale.
Many mayors cited the challenges of meeting increased demands for food assistance, expressing particular concern about possible cuts to federal programs such as food stamps and WIC, which assists low-income pregnant women and mothers. Unemployment led the list of causes of hunger in cities, followed by poverty, low wages and high housing costs.
Across the 29 cities, about 27 percent of people needing emergency food aid did not receive it. . . Among those requesting emergency food assistance, 51 percent were in families, 26 percent were employed, 19 percent were elderly and 11 percent were homeless.
“People who never thought they would need food are in need of help,” said Mayor Sly James of Kansas City, Mo., who co-chairs a mayors’ task force on hunger and homelessness.

This would mean spending time around all those yucky poor people. I'm not as evolved as you Mr. Playwrite.
I was in that line of yucky poor people at the food bank. After my surgery, I was too much of a (semi-)invalid to work.
I not only went there but partook of a meal, right after submitting my donation. Pretty good.
Ron Paul is leading in Iowa. Gingrich has fallen in the latest RCP average; Romney is going up and so are other candidates.
I think he meant "to spite" but turned on a cheap Jamaican accent half-way through his post.

Your response is a good indicator of someone else in the business that abounds with critics and editors.
I should note, however, it perhaps wasn't so much the cheap accent as it was the rum.

Love it, very Boomer (not the doing it part, the bragging about it).
Ron Paul's is even worse than bachmann in my opinion. He is well known to have been an anti-semite and racist as shown by his newsletters, the bulk of his support comes from racists, anti-semites and "anti-zionists". If Newt or Mitt defeat obama it would be a political defeat for democrats like myself but I am convinced that they at least have the good of the country as their goal, even their interpretation is diametrically opposed to those of the democrats. Ron Paul however strikes me as the embodiment of all of the worst aspects of both parties and both ideologies. His loathsome comments at the september debate as well as his tinfoil hat views of foreign policies is more evidence that strengthens such a view of the ron paul campaign.
Can you give me a link?

Statements like this are the clearest symptoms of the moral cowardice afflicting america these days. Those such as ron paul who excuse evil people, or worse advocate evil have always been the harbingers of tyranny. I find it supremely ironic that cowardly degenerates on both the right and on the left show their craven sympathy with the evildoers of the world. Ron Paul would side with Iran over america, he would support the oppression of jews, blacks and hispanics. He would allow the oppressors of the world free reign the plunge the nations of the world into totalitarian darkness.
LOLOLOLOLOL!!! Keep talking, you only embarrass yourself with your militaristic BS.

I've seen no good evidence of antisemitism or racism in any of Ron Paul's writings or speeches. Nor is it even close to true that most of his support comes from antisemites or racists. Most of his support (such as it is) comes from libertarians.
Oh, and also, objecting to the U.S. unilaterally going to war just because we don't like some other country's government, is not the same as approving of that government. It's just objecting to American pretensions that we're supposed to rule the world by force, that's all.

Thanks for that link. I agree with most of what he said on foreign policy, which isn't too surprising.
