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.
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.
Only Turtle can save us now!
Turtle.... The days of when an honest American could become president are long gone. James, Tom and I would vote for you.
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.
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.
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.
2. If so, you shall surely be really, really, really sorry! 1. No! Whatever would give you an idea like that? 2. Oh, I am very scared. Really. I doubt I will be able to sleep tonight and may have to sue for that. >(;^{]
Your beloved Gremlin, your pride and joy, soon to be reduced to a smoldering heap by a horde of remote-controlled airborne pugs.
This look like a "Gremlin" to you? Not really mine but then I don't have a Gremlin either.
What a pitiful pile of junk. And of course you wear your "Superfly" outfit while cruising in it?
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).
Funny thing is they'd actually be worth less if you had 1000 of them because they only made like 648 originals.
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.

Thank you my friend. I would love to have a 69 GS or one of the GSX's--they were beautiful cars, at least I think so.
I wonder how many of those are still around and still in new or like new condition? I doubt there are all that many.
