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.

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.
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.
#35. To: IndieTX (#11)
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.

Are you making fun of Turtle's Super Brain? If so, you shall surely be really, really, really sorry! Turtle can remote-control these pugs so all of them will crash into your beloved cherry '72 baby-poop yellow Gremlin, and when you see it, you will cry like a little gurl who dropped her dolly into the sewer.

That "pitiful pile of junk" as you call it is a '69 Buick Gran Sport, a 1969 Buick GS 400 to be exact. I wish I had 1000 of those "pitiful piles of junk" because they are worth a small fortune (each). And here is a '70 model GSX (it is my understanding that only about 400 of these were built).

That would be fine by me, but as a matter of historical perspective, I bet a public hanging of about fifty would seriously chastise the power monger of DC and reduce all of them to hiding in their closets. Must say Rush and Hannity come to mind here as well as the beltway bandits. Just got off the plane from Mexico, BTW.
the gallows I'll use to hang about 2000 people.

Now that was an uplifting post. I don't exactly know what lapidation is, but it seems like scourging. As to the worst punishment - Ill stick with the glass cage in public. Plenty of time for reflections of the agony of what they were and where they are now. A lasting agony. I believe it was Rudy Hess that the Russians hated so much that they kept a prison open for just him for decades - death was too sweet for him.
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.

Lapis Lazuli - the blue stone. Just coming back from Mexico and watching the ocean tides - getting put in a hole to your neck at low high tide and waiting, in the miserable sun, for the high high tide to slowly choke you - well even watching the Simpsons appears a better way to die.

You know you would give your shell for either of those cars (the one you posted is pretty too--very pretty in fact. But if I could choose either of them I would probably take that GSX).

Funny thing is they'd actually be worth less if you had 1000 of them because they only made like 648 originals.

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. Paul's problem is that he is a COWARD. Even gun-grabbing socialist kucinich has the cajones to tell the freaking truth about 911. Add in Bob Bowman, who almost won a congressional seat despite using 911 truth as one of his main platforms; Chuck Baldwin also addressed the issue admirably and honestly as a presidential candidate. Cynthia Mckinney. Look at all those people who aren't afraid to mention 911 trutha nd don't disparage the theory as 'absurd and ludicrous' out of WEAK FEAR. So Paul's problem is that he is a weak and dishonest coward. Things are so bad however that despite all this, I am still so glad he is out there so that when you reference 'ron paul'.,, many people know who is he and like his ideas, the foundation for smaller government and liberty. it is a damn shame when the best spokesman we have is such a weak coward.
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.

Actually they sold quite a few more than that. I didn't find sales figures for the 69 model but I doubt they were that much less than the 68 or 70 models. http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z10203/Buick-Gran-Sport.aspx And I would like to have just one of them, maybe two. Always good to have a spare if you have to put one in the shop.

Those numbers are for the GS. The GSX was only produced 1970 - 72, go here for a more accurate breakdown. I was pretty close for off the top of my head, 678 1970's instead of the 648 I told you.
