Only Ron Paul Can Save Us Now For the last few weeks Republicans have been ranting about the Democrat raid of the U. S. Treasury. They were using the financial crisis like the Reichstag Fire, we were told, as an excuse to consolidate their power, paying off political constituencies and pushing through spending bills that are loaded with extras totally unrelated to any resolution of the crisis. Even moderates have been alarmed. To be sure, there is still good will toward our new President Barack Obama. Everyone is too pleased with the idea of an African American president to blame him for anything. The tomatoes are usually tossed at Nancy Pelosi and her partisan gang in the House. Surely the president who firmly promised he would end ear marks and examine each spending bill, line by line, has not lied to us already, this early into his term in office? But now it turns out that the whiney Republican Party’s own leaders are right in the thick of it all. Six of the top ten pork barrel spenders in the U. S. Senate are in the GOP. Here is that inglorious list. 1. Thad Cochran, R-Miss.: $474 million 2. Roger Wicker, R-Miss.: $391 million 3. Mary Landrieu, D-La.: $332 million 4. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa: $292 million 5. David Vitter, R-La.: $249 million 6. Christopher Bond, R-Mo.: $248 million 7. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.: $235 million 8. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii: $225 million 9. Richard Shelby, R-Ala.: $219 million 10. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa: $199 million (Source fray.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/2557139.aspx) Just making the cut, you’ll notice, is Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa who was upset last summer at Pentecostal-Charismatic television preachers, calling for an investigation, because evangelists like Joyce Meyers, who earns $250,000 a year, are too extravagant with donations. At a time when America is on the verge of the Second Great Depression and unemployment is mounting, he bagged almost $200 million in pork barrel goodies for his buddies back home. At least the people who give to Joyce Meyers’ ministry do so voluntarily. (By the way, maybe we should have the government run the Churches too, that would make a clean sweep of things. Banks, Insurance, Autos and Churches, as well. Hmmm.) Is there anyone who can save us from this insanity? There is really only one option left. Ron Paul. It is a long shot, but if the madness goes far enough and the reaction sets in, the Paulistas just might stage a takeover of the Grand Old Party and Ron Paul would offer America a real choice. It’s a long shot. But four more years of this and America may actually be ready. Note: Here is the link of Doug Wead appearing on FOX NEWS talking about the Stimulus package.

Long shot???? Paul never left the gate. He found his one true love was the Republican party.
I've read you for a long time Cyni. I think you have what it takes to be a congress critter or a senator. Just what party would you run under or with? It couldn't be with a third party try. The MSM would ignore you and the sheople only fancy dems and pubs. So just for shits & Giggles, name your party.
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Thanks for that Lac... I am Cynical about and with politics, politicians and government. In nearly 40 years of backroom politics, I learned a great deal about people that aspire to public office. In all that time I met just one totally honest politician, just one. All of the others had problems, usually with alcohol and sex. This was on county and state levels. I did have a cohort in many of those years and our goal was...if you are in office you need to leave and look for an honest job..... We even ran my own nephew out of office because he was corrupt, now he is a judge. Party???There is only one party, the ruling elite and they own and operate the government. Politics is a dirty business and no one gets to the top without paying their dues, no one. Third party? Almost impossible due to money and restrictive laws. You are a union man, you will know the end is at hand when unions are outlawed or form one government union. Honest union members are a threat to the system.
It was too late the day Paul sent out his infamous Trotsky email. Most knew it was all over at that time. Right message, wrong messenger.
Only Turtle can save us now!
TheSystem needs a revolution of ideas. Ron Paul doesn't go nearly far enough. We need to revisit everything from 1776 to the present and overhaul the entire system, beginning with: term limits on all governments offices (local state fed) [one place where the founders really screwed up] Lawyers, bankers, judges, LEO agencies (all levels) with no oversight to their misdeeds, domestic traitors in government, and business interests have long held the reigns of power over the rights of the people. This will end. Freedom takes guts. That's just the beginning of this revolution... No idea should be off limits to discuss.

We need a politician who can expose the treachery behind 9/11. Dennis Kucinich is a lone voice that tries to bring it to the forefront, but he needs some powerful allies to join his cause. I'm disappointed that Ron Paul has washed his hands of the matter. If Paul wanted to make a difference, 9/11 would be THE issue that he should be most concerned about as it would expose the corrupt web of treason and deceipt that is bringing about the demise of our nation.
Of course. I'll add it now.

Turtle.... The days of when an honest American could become president are long gone. James, Tom and I would vote for you.
James, Tom and I would vote for you. I wouldn't. A new head of the beast will not change the beast, anymore than Ron Paul would have. It's going to require an overhaul from the top down. Time is growing short.

Vote?!?! No one votes in the King! I'll pay all three of you good money to build the gallows I'll use to hang about 2000 people.
I am with you. The founding Fathers did err on some aspects of the Constitution. It was not a matter of them being naive, rather they never envisioned lifetime professional politicians. History says their over riding thoughts were that citizens would..."serve their country for a season"... and then return to private life. Thus there would be a continual turnover of legislators. Setting an example, Washington served two terms and retired. They underestimated the greed and lust for power within some men.
immediate deportation of all ILLEGALS and securement of our borders
King???? Uneasy rests the crown of any King.... hehehehehehehehehehehehe
With my trained pack of 100 killer pugs I will be safe and snug. Besides, why do you think I'm goimg to kill 2000 people? They're the politicians, banksters and megacorporation types.
I could support that list..
Ain't that the truth? We definitely have enough crooks in our government.
Reading this a few minutes ago... "What we are seeing in Washington under a different set of elitists is a continued expansion of the failed policies of the Bush administration. Team A has replaced Team B."
Hanging is primitive and unpredictable. Too short of a drop and the victim can spend hours slowly strangulating. Too far of a drop and you rip the head off. Guillotines are very bloody and messy. Shooting is another horror show. Even lethal injection has problems. All things considered, I'd say the best, most humane, least bloody, least complex and consistently effective known method of execution would be the use of a garrote method from the seated position, with the ligature tightened by a winching mechanism activated by mechanical or (ideally) hydraulic control. The use of a hydraulic mechanism would enable you to accurately and consistently apply 5,000 newtons of force to the ligature nearly instantaneously, thereby inducing unconsciousness very rapidly due to the compression of the common carotid artery, and death is assured by the induction of carotid reflex (causing cardiac arrest) and then the crushing of the spinal cord when the neck vertebrae break. So that's my suggestion if you're looking for an effective method that could be applied to a large number of prisoners in a relatively brief period of time, with a minimum of effort and mess. Now, on the other hand, if you're looking to punish the prisoners to the greatest degree possible, it's pretty hard to beat either lapidation or crucifixion.
For the last few weeks Republicans have been ranting

Hmm... now you get me thinking about what might be able to be done with an industrial laser. Instantaneous decapitation and cauterization in one move. Could it be done? It would take some research, but what an interesting notion. Then again, why even decapitate? Just punch a half-dollar size hole through the head and call it good...

All things considered, shooting somebody point blank (or close to it) in the back of the head with a pistol is quick, painless, and inexpensive compared to every other method. Why anyone would bother with strange contraptions like electric chairs for executions is beyond me.

Hey Indie. How ya doing? Your statement doesn't make sense. You say "A new head of the beast will not change the beast" Then you say "overhaul from the top down" Sounds to me like you are contradicting yourself.
I wouldn't. A new head of the beast will not change the beast, anymore than Ron Paul would have. It's going to require an overhaul from the top down. Time is growing short.
