What teh Feck?

What... teh... feck?

Did Ron Paul do this on purpose?

Old man musta switched his residency to coolsville.

Ron Paul is a clam; he's exactly as big as his head. People grow excited while he speaks unexpected things, (he hopes they are the right things), to a restless nation.

The people of the United States need to take back the levers of government from the powerful and the corrupt. Movements need to be built. Movements like the civil rights movement. Like the movements that transformed the workplace away from exploitation towards fairness. The naive who advocate electing a right-wing libertarian like Ron Paul for president would give him final license to enable an historical agenda of power's, which grossly favours today's now massive corporate power, to enjoy unencumbered ability to sway policy and legislation to their favour - regardless of the needs of the public good.

Edited for clarity.

Um, can you expand that a bit qualm... your comment is pretty unintelligible.

nice ad hominem there qualm with no backup on your wild assertations. check out Ron Pauls interview with Google. he says to debunk your assertion that he would give him final license to enable an historical agenda of power's, which grossly favours today's now massive corporate power, to enjoy unencumbered ability to sway policy and legislation to their favour

why ? because corporations wouldn't have any favors handed to them (like they do now) in "his" type of goivernment. Almost everything happens at the state level. so perhaps you are right but only if your transfer your grievences to the state level and not federal

Ron Paul has already been interviewed by Google AND* he "debunked" me? Did he stop talking and swallow his lips?

And wow. That's fast. Vrrrrrrrrrooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!!!


Edited to add Maserati.

I think in an age of ideology run rampant (read: greed) a structured return to principles that everyone can agree on makes some serious sense.

Though admittedly not every American thinks deeply about the implications of the Constitution, most would say they abide by the spirit of its rules and would defer to its wisdom simply because it can be generally agreed that pretty much everything in the Constitution is a Pretty Good Idea---at least in theory. Yes, the application of it needs to be monitored and tempered, but a properly functioning American government and legal system should be able to take care of that; that's what it was designed for, after all.

And yes, I actually disagree with a lot of what Paul has to say about abortion and the environment, but he's also one of the only candidates who is actually willing to draw a line between what he believes, and what The People should decide for themselves, especially in matters that relate directly to personal liberty. Unlike *every other candidate* he's is not treating this election like his own personal, preening, self-aggrandizing, wank-fest.

Beyond believing that the ultimate power belongs to the people, and that even the office of the president is not above scrutiny, I don't give a fuck what the president believes....about capital punishment, abortion, jesus, or anything else, because *it shouldn't really matter*. The president just steers the boat and navigates as best he can. If the Constitution is the map, then that about wraps it up: now your presidential choice comes down to who, out of the candidates, best understands the map.
