What? First Computer built in Iowa? Yeah Yeah Yeah, everything was invented in the US. It's like when we had exchange students from the states, asking us beforehand their trip if we have cheese and washing machines. First Computer was built in Berlin by Konrad Zuse. Bitches think they know IT :-)

I think this is the computer he's referring to at the end:

Yeah, that's a very, very tenuous claim to call that the first "computer". It's closer to a calculator as it is not programmable / general purpose.


Indeed, not to mention that most of the work had already been done in mechanical form by the likes of Babbage, etc. To say "the computer was invented in Iowa" is a bit of a broad brush. It would be truer to say that the first example of an electronic computer was built in Iowa.

That said, well done on choosing the least idiotic of the republican candidates. The fact that said candidate believes in magic underpants is more a reflection of the incredibly poor gop lineup than on Iowans.

I bet you a promote Santorum comes in first or is nearly tied for first.>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:

I bet you a promote he comes in 3rd. I think Ron Paul will come out ahead, because he is using the same playbook that allowed Obama to dominate the caucuses 4 years ago, even in states where he was behind in the polls.
I predict:
#1 Paul
#2 Romney
#3 Santorum
Although, the polling graph look like a modern art masterpiece, so I guess anything is possible.

Sheeeiiit, he just might win Iowa tonight.>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:

No votes, probably because Santorum is irrelevant and very unlikely to be the nominee. Those are the breaks, frothboy.

Uh, yeah there are still family farms/ranches. I should know, grew up on one.
All farms/ranches are corporations. Family owned or not, it's a business.

He bragging about farmers, but aren't all those big farms run by corporations. There are no Ma & Pa Kent operations anymore.



I just this very afternoon came to the realization that farms or whatnot usually have names because they are in fact a business. Lazy Bob Ranch,Battle star Farms etc. It had stemmed from my wondering why all these places I go to have names, who the hell names their house.

I should add, by the way, that in the 2008 election I a steadfast supporter of Paul for the Republican ticket.

I looked for links to this article on Google and it looks like it is referenced in a ton of comments about how Newt is fighting back against negative ads. I wonder if these posts are related to his campaign.

Yes, I created an account just to post that but I don't see how that makes what Paul said any less hazardous. I'm very fed up with people romanticizing and elevating Ron Paul to a hero status. Some of his approaches are refreshing, I totally agree, but I think a lot of people get swept up in the hype and ignore the fact that a lot of his key stances are elitist. If you look at his approaches to welfare and class distinctions, it's very quite sickening. His basic position is that people should be happy with their lots in life. On the one hand this means not meddling in others affairs (yay, no foreign wars) but on the other it means not helping out people who need social support. I'm not a U.S. citizen and don't work for Gingrich, if that's what you're wondering.
