Well this was a great speech. I will send it to all the trustworthy people I know.

Personally I wanted to shut that lady up in the background. It is those kind of people that lead to horrible decisions being made without thinking things through.

Also I want to introduce my own Resolution: The Mandatory Congressman Conscription Act Resolution. It would conscript all of Congress into the Military during Wartime and put them on the frontlines.

All in favor say “Aye”.

Is it an infinite series perhaps or something along the lines of hopscotch?

Out of Iraq, into Iran. Out of Iran, into Pakistan. Out of Pakistan, into….

From the way he, she, or it spells “faeces”, he, she or it appears to be a “Fescist”. It is possible that he, she, or it is an agent provocateur making a stab at wit.

It is very difficult to avoid that conclusion about Paul, particularly after rereading the principles he enunciated–rightly–in relation to impeaching Clinton and which principles he is patently not applying in regard to Kucinich’s motions to impeach Cheney and now Bush.

Impeachment is the obvious solution constitutionally. Kucinich sees that and has stood up against all, including his own party, to make the necessary motions.

The way out is clear, and some Democrats have joined Kucinich in his efforts.

If the remaining Democrats and Republicans can’t or don’t want to see the problem, not to speak of the solution–at this point that is on their heads.

As are the consequences.

Just as with the invasion of Iraq, and the many other crimes, constitutional and otherwise, perpetrated by this administration and its enablers, left and right, let it not be said that no one pointed the way.

As with the Amendments, when “no” becomes “some” discourse ceases to be meaningful.

Watching the various elites trying to enforce a concept of “law” on citizens who, seeing the conduct of their supposed elected leaders, at some point cease to internalize any such idea in regard to “government” in the United States of America at any level promises to be a comedy of sorts.

It might be tragedy save tragedy requires a certain grandeur in the dramatis personae.

And even the comedy promised is low, boring, and banal. The greedy, fearful, incompetent stooges have long ago reached tbe level of infantile slapstick, and do not merit a Chaplin, let alone an Aristophanes.

It is beyond my comprehension that any member of Congress could belong to the Out of Iraq caucus and be for a naval blockade of Iran. Let me out of here, it is now zombieland.

The person that I voted to represent me has co-signed onto this bill that Ron speaks of.
I sent the most polite nasty letter to him today asking him to explain to me what his rationale is for making that choice. I am horrified and he needs to explain. I will not let up until he gives me what at least seems like a half assed vaild reason to suppot this bill. I have read thru the text of this bill and to think that he believes a word of it not only makes me wonder where he was in 2003 but also makes me wonder why he is part of the Out Of Iraq Caucus!!! It is the same exact nonsense that the sheeple believed in the selling of the Iraq invasion and subsequent occupation.
If I was foolish enough to beleive that there is a god I would be praying like a madwoman.
We Are Doomed.
Good thing I spent my f**king retirement money.

This country has become a tool for the Jewish state. It goes where the master wants it to go; does what it wants us to do: ruin Iraq and now Iran, all regarded as enemies by Israel.

He hit the nail on the head. Another war will just bankrupt the country, anti-American sentiment will grow larger, and more politicians profiteering from these useless wars. What a sad country. George Carlin was right when he was addressing the corrupt goverment’s policies, “Yet, nobody seems to notice.. and nobody seems to care”. What a sad country, when are people going to stand up??

The idiots who comprise a majority of the population in this country are only interested in being fed and intertained. Until things get really bad (like people going without food) Ron Paul will not be taken seriously by the average voter.

My apologies, if I was mistaken about Dr. Paul endorsing McCain, if he is not going to endorse him, then good — that is a clear action oriented step on his part. I however, do think that it is important broaden the movement, while I do not support his position in all respects, I do recognize the importance of his anti-war position.

IF I decide to vote this election, I’ll vote for Nader, but I would’ve like to see Ron Paul make some alliances, and run as an independent as mentioned below:

***There can be little question that had he done so, he would have received the nominations of both Libertarian and Constitution Parties and the support of many on the left as well. Who knows, he may even have succeeded in forging an improbable alliance with Nader of some kind. In any case, his vote likely would have dwarfed Bob Barr’s and Chuck Baldwin’s together.***

The war parties (both of ‘em) have to be challenged – and without having candidates who have broad based appeal, that is not going to happen.
