#545. To: angle (#544)
Evidently publisher Joseph W. McQuaid belongs in the same psychiatric lockdown that John "Yellowstain" McCain should be in.
so do I.
but what about the strawberries? back when the same paper endorsed Forbes, the same paper called McQueeg too leftist.
I'm sure there's a way to clean that up. I'm not so sure about that. One of the attacks on RP is that he is weak on terrorism. (I don't think there is a credible threat here, but some do believe there is.) Stopping illegal immigration is one issue, securing the borders to keep out the boogey men terrorists is another, so I think both are important and independent.
What a puke-inducing endorsement - not one lick of truth in it, that I could tell.
What a relief.
Thanks for making it a link, but if it gets copied and pasted in a new window, there's no trace to 4um.
yeah, I see how you mean they're independent of each other, which is fine the way it is. I was just thinking that Ron's position on it is that you can't really accomplish one without the other, so they are interconnected. aren't they? also, Ron's main issue that any corrections in our inherent downslide have to start with foreign and monetary policy reform. true, both would be clarified in further reading of RP's platform pages, just wouldn't want to leave out his main point to the root cause of this country's problems.
" Now the first step appears to have been taken. Lyman and associates have formed an advertising company, Liberty Advertising, to sell sponsored political ads on behalf of Ron Paul. The ads would appear on a blimp that is being rented by supporters of the campaign, but who are not directly affiliated with it. See website and announcement below: ===== www.ronpaulblimp.com/index.php We have formed an advertising company, Liberty Advertising. Liberty Advertising is selling political advertisements that you can sponsor. Right now we are selling advertising time for Ron Paul, primarily on the Ron Paul Blimp. You can buy as much ad time as you like. When the advertising time you sponsored ends the next customer's advertising time begins (until their time runs out)...and the process repeats for as long as the advertisement's sponsorship lasts. The ad is a blimp, but you can also think of it as a floating billboard. It will fly for six hours per day generating advertising and publicity while on the ground as well as in the air. Blimp sponsors, the local media and nearby residents will be able to gather at landing sites to tour the blimp. Those with tickets will board for rides. Informal blimp parties will be organized at scheduled stops around the country as the blimp makes its way to key destinations for maximum public exposure. If there is anything about this advertisement that is not explained to your satisfaction here please check our FAQ's or email us at: inquiries@RonPaulBlimp.com"
I think Ron Paul speaks the truth, plain and simple and clear. So does the hillary ad. It is the truth, plain and clear and simple. If anyone other that RP is nominated, hillary will be the next president. I don't think it is a scare tactic. It is a truth tactic. It tells a truth that just happens to be scary. But I am not the decider. I am just giving my opinion. I'm with you. Either way, the decision rests elsewhere. Empire or Republic? If we keep going the direction we're heading, we're likely to get there.

I caught it just in time. He was great! I'm glad he brought up the permanent bases, the embassy bigger than the vatican, the cost, etc. I dvr'd it to relisten to the stats.

Critter, Looks great! I just learned that RP has another toll free number. It is 1-877-Ron-Paul. Thought I'd just pass along.

If you guys knew how easy it really is though... hehehe It doesn't look easy to me. You deserve an award, and a 4um equivalent of the Medal of Valor!
You must be registered with the correct party to vote for Ron Paul in states with CLOSED PRIMARIES. Click Primarily Paul and scroll down to the State by State chart. I like #3 best for all the reasons I stated above. The #2 is very busy and the MAIN eye-catcher is "U.S. President Hillary Clinton".
Beauty, eh!
With whom does the decision rest?
I'm one of those folks that skips over things that look like too much trouble to read. I think that while busy, it is broken up into enough distinct parts to be easily digestible.
Angle, To me, it rests with those who provide this forum for us. It's been great fun to be a participant. Someone noted above in the thread, that in other forums, no doubt there would be a 5K post flame war. Not the case here. Pretty special.
You must be registered with the correct party to vote for Ron Paul in states with CLOSED PRIMARIES. Click Primarily Paul and scroll down to the State by State chart. Most things are "easy" to folks who know what they're doing. Like some people seem to be able to just "get it" with programs like Photoshop or Gimp (Linux equivalent/better) but I can't make heads nor tails of either of them. Guess photo manipulation on sophisticated software isn't up my alley.
We could put it to a vote.

...kind of like the fight over the blimp. :-)
Either way it would go, I'm going with it! So, let there be peace in the valley :)

From the 'HERE WE GO AGAIN' department: The Des Moines register will run a series of examinations into candidates' positions on the important issues of the day. They are choosing only 6 candidates from each party, and they chose to cover Tom Tancredo over Dr. Paul. Picking six on the Republican side was less clear-cut, but the deciding factor was time spent in Iowa. An example: At mid-week, Tom Tancredo had made 85 campaign stops in Iowa this year, five times as many as Ron Paul, who didn't make the cut. Tancredo trails only Mitt Romney and is about even with Mike Huckabee in number of stops. Deciding whom to support involves more than running down a checklist of issues, of course. Experience, vision and credibility will factor in, too. But we hope our examinations of the candidates' stands on these key issues will help you in making your selection of the right leader for this pivotal time. Maybe this ad needs to be placed in the Register, instead...
Thank you, hammerdown. I appreciate the info and will give it a look.
Those turds.
Enjoy it while you can, Register...very few people under 40 buy newspapers. The trend is NOT your friend...
We're going to go with this one. Please PM me with the amount of your donations and my POB address. Thanks to everyone for your participation! Thanks especially to you, Critter. The cost of the 4x6 is $1100. The cost of the 6x8 is $2200. The targeted date for running the ad is the Sunday before the NH primary which is January 8th.
n/p. I used to get so much info from that channel. what a waste that Comcast killed it off after the merger with G4. all the video editing/creation progs for linux that I look into on SourceForge have a ton of bugs. know of any good ones?
Do these words/pic scare you? Hillary Clinton’s Global Agenda http://www.usasurvival.org/ck061903.shtml
"You can not save the Constitution by destroying it."
All it takes is practice. I'm not a geek. In 1998 I didn't know what html was. I did a google on it. Tried a few minor things, then got a little fancier, and then fancier. Then I had to work with images. So I got a free download of Serif Photo Plus 6, and fiddled with that. Sure it was a pain to find my way, but eventually I did. Then I upgraded a few times, but never to the latest version. I always bought the sale copy of the previous version, so I have a grand total of $40 invested, I think. Serif has a support forum, so when I run into a brick wall trying to create an effect, I would post it there and get an answer in short order. I haven't used it in a while, but I bet it is still active.
Not that I know much about it but people who do know like Gimp (a LOT). I use Linux (pclinuxos 2007 final release, started out as a beta tester on .92). I like most of the programs in Linux, the ones I actually use, and find them as good or better than anything in Windows. I switched to Linux two or two and a half years ago, something like that anyway, and I don't miss Windows a bit.
Thanks Critter. Do you know anything about Gimp? That is what I have (that and some other things--I have had a LITTLE success with showfoto but it isn't complicated). Here is something I did with showfoto and ksnapshot (screenshot of my computer). edited to shrink size a bit
You did that? And you're saying you have trouble with photo manipulating? lol
Well, thank you for the kind words but showfoto is not complicated, not like Gimp or Photoshop.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end.

#546. To: christine (#531)
i like #2.
I think it's great just the way it is.
the only thing I see that I would change, is the doubling up of issues in the left hand column. the "Bill of Rights" and "2nd Amendment" issues are esentially the same thing, as are the "immigration" and "Border" issues. maybe, if one or both of those, could be rolled into one and the addition of restoring sound money/monitary policy and the foreign policy issue would cover more points in the same space?
