#329. To: who knows what evil (#313)
Good Lord. They must have the internet(s). 11% is better than 10%. I studied up on that./s ;) This is all good news WKWE.. Thanks!!!
Ron Paul got punked. For all the money the dumbass Paultards gave him that they should have been applying to trailer payments, he couldn't do shit. This was his best opportunity -- drag the losers who don't have anything better to do out to polls to vote for Dr. Islam in a caucas. Paul is a loser and the Paultards are losers.
It's a fauxcus fer COL. Not to be associated with an actual primary where one can vote privately... Gotta admire those brave Iowans who stood for Paul inspite of the pressure surrounding them to do otherwise. Imagine the credibility of a such process in a precinct where teamsters rule. "uhmmm, you wanna think about that? Maybe you wanna rethink ya choice der eh bro?" Here it looks like the evangicals were orchestrating the fauxcus.
I am finding that Marion Berry Cobbler and French Vanilla Ice Cream is a good comfort food for tonight.

Yertle Turtle knows how to live in tree stumps and has an excellent retirement plan so I suggest he be the leader of the colony. I was so 'in' until the Yertle Turtle part. ;) I don't particularly think I'm ready for 'grocery cart chic', Can we vote on this later? hehehe. Seriously, I wish you safe travel and many blessings on your journey!
Go back to your cave punk.
Precisely. A good campaign would have anticipated the issue and would have had an honest but nuanced reply at the ready. A campaign is not a Political Science lecture.
Republicans (Democrats for that matter) ....... HAD ENOUGH?
Stupid fucks.

Fine. I offer raw sugar, cinnamon, and cream. No replacement spoons. ;) LOLOL! There is a mail order Dental plan.
Ha-ha!

A good response could have been something along the lines of: "It is not the Federal Government's job to tell Farmers what crops to grow, and that is exactly what a subsidy does - it locks farmers into raising those crops which attract the highest subsidies out of someone else's pocket. It is unfair to the farmer and to the person whose pocket is being picked for the subsidy, and it is NOT one of the Federal Government's Constitutionally defined duties. I do favor lower taxes which do not penalize farmers for being successful."

No one else could be convincingly promoted to winner in Iowa as it is a Bible Belt State. Nonsense. Back to Geography 101 for you. I am sure there were some major shenanigans with the vote. Utter nonsense. I'll bet the coach didn't like you either. Grow up. It will be interesting to see what the Poll Watchers and Vote Canvassers have to report in the morning. I am sure there will be indications of widespread fraud, but the people controlling the enforcement arm are part of the fraud operation, and the Lamestream Media will go 24/7 saying "It's a Conspiracy Theory", it's sour grapes, "It's a Conspiracy Theory", it's sour grapes, "It's a Conspiracy Theory", it's sour grapes, "It's a Conspiracy Theory", it's sour grapes, "It's a Conspiracy Theory", it's sour grapes, "It's a Conspiracy Theory", it's sour grapes, "It's a Conspiracy Theory", it's sour grapes, "It's a Conspiracy Theory", it's sour grapes, "It's a Conspiracy Theory", it's sour grapes, etc., ... Sleep tight tonight .... but don't forget to check under your bed.

FORMER Wead Predicted: Huckabee's Iowa Win, But Now Losses Ahead
The Bible Belt is not limited to the Confederacy. And the Coach lovvvvvvvvved me. I am a killer Pass Rusher. Not quite as good against the run, but good enough to keep the other team honest. And I scored a Touchdown once playing Center - the ball was tipped and I recovered it in the End Zone by sliding in on my back and trapping it against my chest.

With that attitude we will be losing elections far past my demise. The American people vote with their hearts and their pocketbooks. The typical voter is not a political junkie. He/she is wary of anger and quick fixes. Right now he/she is disatisfied and wants change. The typical Ron Paul supporter is angry (and I am one of them) and demanding change. The majority of Americans are resistant to and fearful of radical change (i.e. quick fixes) otherwise we would have gone even further left during the Great Depression. I'm not suggesting that we should not have pushed for a "revolution", just that we should go hunting with a rifle and not a blunderbuss. The campaign so far has had as its focus converting America to libertarianism, not winning a national election. The result, if we fail to regroup, will be losing on both counts. Icon, I may have mentioned I was in a 'mood'. I didn't mean to offend or discourage anyone. Just a little reactionary personal hissy fit. It does not take away my resolve to do all that I can. You make some excellent points though. !!!! I don't agree with you on one of them right now, but, it's food for thought, and I will give it that. We won't fail to regroup. I think all of this discussion makes us all stronger. Afterall, we are in this together. Good night I, and everybody!
That usually shuts him up. lol
FORMER "It is not the Federal Government's job to tell Farmers what crops to grow, and that is exactly what a subsidy does - it locks farmers into raising those crops which attract the highest subsidies out of someone else's pocket. It is unfair to the farmer and to the person whose pocket is being picked for the subsidy, and it is NOT one of the Federal Government's Constitutionally defined duties. I do favor lower taxes which do not penalize farmers for being successful." You're a great "straight man". That's sounds right out of Ron's (political science) play book. Try this one on for size for a "contendah": "I do not believe corn based ethanol is a good economic answer to the energy crisis (big Huckabee smile) but if I were your Congressman, I would most certainly forward your wishes to the floor in the form of a bill. (Another big Huckabee smile).
Republicans (Democrats for that matter) ....... HAD ENOUGH?
Good job.
Good night, dear heart. It's late and I have to get up early. But, as I so often say, such is the life of us political junkies.
Republicans (Democrats for that matter) ....... HAD ENOUGH?
It really depends on what you are trying to accomplish. There is a difference between a political answer and an honest answer. Ron Paul is what he is, and I am what I am. The reason I like him, and was a supporter long before this campaign was even hinted at, is that willingness to stand on principle and tell it the way it is. Farm subsidies are not a favor to the farmer. It is nothing more than welfare farming. That suckers can't, or don't, get it is why they are suckers and will remain chattels. As long as you play to their ignorance they will remain ignorant. Of course one can't put is so bluntly, but you can only go so far and remain true to your principles.

Drop the campaign a line and ask if you can help with a few suggestions.

I bombed tonight, big time. I am disgraced. :( Dumb corn growing, cow molesting Iowan dimwits...
FORMER The Bible Belt is not limited to the Confederacy. This is a decidedly Christian nation. All vote seekers need to keep that in mind. Having said that, I further assert that your placement of Iowa in the Bible belt is a first for me. And the Coach lovvvvvvvvved me. I am a killer Pass Rusher. Not quite as good against the run, but good enough to keep the other team honest. And I scored a Touchdown once playing Center - the ball was tipped and I recovered it in the End Zone by sliding in on my back and trapping it against my chest. Ah, memories! ;-) They can't take those away from us.

never underestimate the power of the votescam. when do we start shooting the bastards. that's what i want to know.
There's the suggestion that they actually do: Mind Control, MK ULTRA and A Course in Miracles (Oprah's 'christian' course she will be preaching about). Link goes to: http://freedom4um.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=6974
Let's get started! We can go out like Bonnie and Clyde. hehehe
FORMER meet me in DC? ;)
You just defined the Ron Paul Revolution. I'm a burned-out Republican tired of being lied to by a GOP that is going to hell two steps behind the Demonrats.

Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/LatestPaul actually WON Jefferson County (the smart Iowans, apparently); but the totals haven't been tallied yet. (It was around 400...won't help him catch McCain/Thompson, but might boot him to 11%.) A couple of other counties out that way missing, as well.

One should remember that Bush has a 70 PER CENT approval rating in Iowa...that is WAY out of sync with the rest (normal) part of the country. For Paul to finish just 2% out of THIRD in a state like that is actually quite the accomplishment!

I think he told the Iowans at the straw poll that he wasn't for corn subsidies.

Evangelical Christians accounted for a whopping six in 10 voters – and 45 percent of them supported Huckabee
