I haven't watched this but was surprised by the title. (http://www.electionspeak.com/USElectionVideos/306)

He doesn't say much except that we need to read both sides of it. hmmmm

The Republicans are against anything that hinders them from raping the planet. Its all about corperate profits you are expendable
:smilie_sc :mad:

[unclejoe]

polar icecaps melting.
ocean level rising.
record level huricanes.
80 to 90 degrees on the northern east coast in October & November.
30 to 40 degrees in northern California in September & October.

overblown?!?

WMDs, no child left behind and the $1.00US = €0.69.

well, they certainly understand the term 'overblown'.

Here's my contribution and poster for the Republican campaign.

:smilie_sc :mad:


As a republican (I know we're the devil :p ) I have to say that believing that global warming can be used as as much of a scare tactic as terrorism doesn't nessisarily mean that all of us are for continuing to "rape the planet". I don't believe that we as humans are solely responsible for global warming but I am certainly willing to do anything I can to leave the planet in the best possible condition for future generations. I am thrilled to find any republican candidates that are willing to admit that changes need to be made. I'm not sure exactly where Ron Paul stands but he sounds a lot better than most.

At least he's for medicinal marijuana :cheers:

(This is where I post an emoticon smiley fainting dead away. :) I need to be more sensitive to the posibility of enlightenment in unexpected places. How come Republican?

[Yossarian]

Paul is actually the best candidate running on the Republican side. Not as good as at least two of the Dems (Kucinich and Gravel), but if he were elected I would be content. When you put him into relative terms, next to Romney (Satan in the guise of an overemphasized haircut), Huckabee, Giuliani, Thompson, Tancredo etc., the man is actually appealing. I'm not in favor of leaving key social issues to the states, nor do I dig some of his far-right economics, but he is anti-Patriot Act, anti-censorship, anti-Internet regulation, against the war on drugs, and his foreign policy ain't half bad. Also, I wouldn't mind if the IRS went away.

[PEACE FROG]

The Dude (http://www.ronpaul2008.com/) I saw a huge 4wd all decked out in Ron Paul winter fashion. Stickers, posters and even streamers all over it.... I wonder if his mother lives in my town?

Don't worry about offending me. If I were prone to being offended I wouldn't enjoy this forum so much. :D To be honest, the main reason I vote republican is the abortion issue. I believe very strongly in a child's right to be born. However, with things like the Patriot Act I may have to choose the safety of my own children over unborn ones in the next election. I think pretty much the only way I'll be able to vote republican is if Ron Paul is the candidate.

[PEACE FROG]

Oh that's so cool. You know I don't know exactly how abortion became an issue where the republicans champion the cause. No one likes abortion and Ill bet it's 50/50 as to which side of the political isle uses that procedure. I think mainly it's pandering to a demograph. You can't legislate morality. So if someone wants an abortion they will find a way. But instill in them that it is out of the question because they truely feel it is wrong..... now you're on to something. I dig you nymph! :hb:

[crazylegs]

I vote Republican because I prefer elephants as pets to donkeys. Just a personal choice. The litter boxes are kind of heavy though. Oh well! I also like global warming (makes the climate here in Michigan much more tolerable), the Iraq War, overblown(there's that word again)military spending, reduced funding for infrastructure and social programs for the vulnerable and disadvantaged, a leg up for big oil and corporate welfare in general, Blackwater, Rush, Bill, Ann and Sean, cluster bombs and I also hate my mother for giving birth to a hippie.

I agree that it seems the politicians use the issue mostly to get votes. It's too bad. :mad: Even with a republican controled government, no real bills were pushed to repeal Row v. Wade, but there is not chance of a bill coming from the democrats. I'm not one who thinks abortion has to be outlawed completely. I think there should definately be a provision for rape, incest and the life of the mother. I just think that currently it's too easy to have it done just so that people don't have to take responsibility for their actions.

I also agree with you about not legislating morality. That is another thing that makes me want to vote democrat. I have no problem with gay unions and the republican politicians seem to put more time into that than abortion.

Have you read Kucinich's statement on abortion? It sounds very much like your post. :)

Now if that isn't tongue-in-cheek, what is? LOL

Tongue in cheek? Isn't this the George W. Bush fan club? I must have made a terrible mistake.

I heard an interview with guys who do south park the other day. They said they had a lot more fun mocking liberals because they got so offended where as the concervatives are so use to being mocked that we don't really react. In all fairness though, it could just be that not a lot of concervatives watch south park. :D

Actually, Ron Paul was a Libertarian. He only choose Republican so he could run for president...

:lachen001 :ehahaYeah Kucinich is cool, BTW if you ever see a UFO keep your mouth shut. And MSNBC would'nt let me debate either. You know more than the "which party" question, as I am niether a Repug or Democrat, we truely need a leader. Gay union? Why the hell not, they are tax paying citizens.

[NCW_Woodnymph]

I think I'm getting to be that way too. I really believe that this is the first year that a good third party canidate could actually win. It seems most people are really fed up win party politics and choosing the lesser of two evils.

The primaries here in Ohio are March 4th. Since I've been able to vote I've gone to the Dems, but I hate having to declare that. I'm very much an Independent and have the mentality of "let the best man (or woman) win." My parents raised us to vote for the best person based on what they stand for and what I personally believe, not simply because they're a part of a certain political party. I am voting Democratic this time around. No big surprise there! It's been very hard for me to pick my man though...
I'm just hoping and praying that we get someone in office who is going to do what they say they will. PERSONALLY, my biggest concerns revolve around the environment, GMO's, rural and farm issues. Can you tell I'm a organic farm girl?;) Mother Nature is weeping...it's time to dry her tears...

What ever happened to Ru Paul anyway?

[crazylegs]

Got married, settled down in Yonkers, had a bunch of kids, sells Tupperware.

according to Ron Paul

The World is Flat
There is a monster in Loch Ness
Cigarettes are a good source of protein

If we spent as much time worrying about education and health care as we do gay people ruining the american family and abortions as murder we would no longer have to worry about renewable energy sources OR global warming because they would both be solved.

Yet with all the energy wasted we STILL have abortion AND gay people destroying American Families.

The Republican Party doesn't want to solve these "issues" because they need them to draw attention away from their money laundering and extortion tactics that fuel the Big Oil and Tobacco Companies.

If they want to talk about morals... how about starting with the legal selling of cancer sticks that have killed FAR more people than abortions!

Wow you sound kinda like me.... what, are you running for PeaceFrog? I am so kidding. You're right my friend, It would help also if America did'nt have such a short attention span and terrible memory. ;) Good to see you posting again my friend. ;) :D

To me these are matters of common sense.

If someone ask you to vote on whether or not you want people to have health insurance just PICK THE OBVIOUS ANSWER!

This is the only country that is fundamentally opposed to health insurance. it is freakin' ridiculous.

I wish people would go down to a home for Down Syndrome people and look them all straight in the eye and say that they don't want them to have shelter, food, health insurance, etc.

Who doesn't want the elderly to have heat? To have children enjoying the best possible education? To have energy that is affordable and renewable and allows the air to be free of pollutants.

I vote YES for cancer, the inability to afford to cure it, to stop research to help people with it, to end education to ever get to the point where someone can cure it, and to put everybody on the streets homeless with it.

I MEAN REALLY... PEOPLE WHO VOTE... ARE THEY REALLY THAT DAFT!

I think that access to healthcare should be a right, a basic right and provision not a reflection of your bank balance. I don't think healthcare should be profit based. The right human decision, the right medical decision and what is financially prudent are not often the same. Watch the sicko movie by Michael Moore. Now although it is heavily bias, there are some really good points and explanations. :D

Ok - Froggie - going to rent that tonight .

Riding around town today on the cranes I noticed hand made signs that are stenciled in one color (usually red or blue on white card stock) that just say "Ron Paul". Being in a college town (Lubbock) it obviously looks like a couple of college kids did it. But my question is, are they like us? I've read alot of info on him and most of what he has to say, I like.

as the resident hypochondriac of the forum (a fun component of OCD) I think I will skip the sicko movie.

It would just be preaching to the choir anyways.

Make some stencil signs that say "HappyHippie.com" place them next to theirs, I'll bet we'll find out

I would think that many would be. I sure like him. He's one of the most prominent supporters of civil liberties (gee, remember those things?) from either side of the political spectrum at the moment and understands the benefits of a more humble - and logical - foreign policy.
