first, best, biggest!

somehow this move doesn't surprise me at all

ok..

But they took too much LSD a long time ago...

On the bright side,,,

Rand Paul is gonna get to speak at the convention and has had the Veep carrot dangled in front of his nose...

This generation has become soft and lazy with their drug usage. I remember an America that took pride in their drug taking, not this 'I don't take drugs, it's a prescription' bullsh*t. C'mon and buck up you slackers. The Chinese are killing us!

^ yeah I think this was nothing more than pragmatism. One party rule will end at some point I just pray it's before I die.

We already have 4!

way to sensible for the RP Zombies...

desperate,no

Imapaired, perhaps

Desperate rationalizations is the Obama mantra.

I know, I may be younger and I'm on more medication than Jerry Lewis and half of his kids. (ba dum dum) and I party like a rock star too. My mom, god lover her, really treats me like a rock star. That's why I still sign her t*ts. It's all good.

Yeah, too bad about the brain cancer.

She barely knows me anymore.

I was trying out the whole TW turn light-heartedness into dark, somber ugliness. I think I did a great job. Might have improved on his version.

Bit's over. Still working on the sister bit. Might have something next week on open mic night. I really think the emotional up down switch a roo tactic is something worth testing further. Wouldn't work on Leno, but Conan? Thinking yeah.

I think this is great. Paul is a douche.... you should have seen his "supporters" at the Rick Santorum even I attended... they were horriblr; making threats, and this, and that... buncha pieces of garbage.

isn't it odd that most of the kids that win the National Spelling Bee are Home Schooled ?

Not in the least. I'm actually surprised a home schooled kid doesn't win every year.

lol, i kinda got that. proper use of sarcasm is something I recognize under normal circumstances.

E is morally sick how?

Does freedom always scare you?

You should try reading a book. Its a square shaped thingamajigger with pages of paper that have writting on them. Dr Paul has written a few of these things. He's quite clear about what level of gov't is acceptable and its happens to be more than zero.

Disagree all you want, but if your view of his beliefs is wrong than your opinion is either misconception or lazy ignorance.

Do you live in Frisco by chance?

Tsk Tsk Tsk,,,

Now you have to say 10 Hail Alex Jones' as your penance for being small and petty...

He's a phoney like all the rest of them.

He's a big spender sleazy blow hard...

I know...

but RP is a Pork King,which really isn't " Less Govt


Ron Paul runs political ads targeting Rick Santorum, accusing him of being a "fake" fiscal conservative. He criticizes Santorum's use of congressional earmarks, but Paul himself has put in for over half a billion dollars in earmarks for his district in the past two fiscal years.

First, the facts, via the American Independent:

For FY 2011, Rep. Paul submitted requests for 41 earmarks worth $157,093,544. The previous year, he submitted 54 earmarks totaling a whopping $398,460,640, including $2.5 million for a redevelopment project in Baytown, Texas. Among the essential public services that the earmark would finance were "trash cans…and decorative street lighting."

In the last Republican debate, John King asked Paul to explain his charge against Santorum. A smiling Paul said, "Because he's a fake."



He explained that Santorum portrays himself as fiscally conservative, but in the Senate, he voted to expand federal spending. Paul claimed that he himself had only voted for one appropriations bill in his congressional career, legislation that funded veterans programs. Later in the debate, he honed in on Santorum's record of voting for earmarks for his home state Pennsylvania.



The problem with Paul's attacks on Santorum's record of earmarks is that it is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. It also elucidates Paul's hypocrisy.



Santorum is a proponent of big government and a defender of earmarks, though he makes a distinction between "good" and "bad" earmarks. Reo, Paul, on the other hand, pretends that he is completely against earmarks while continuing to exploit the earmark process to bring home the bacon to his own district, a practice he allegedly deplores.



Paul lards up spending bills with pork via earmarks for his Texas district, knowing that the spending bill will pass, then votes against it. He then piously claims he is against pork barrel spending, a practice he has mastered. When called out on it, he claims he's lassoing tax dollars his Texans have sent to Washington, corralling them to be driven back to his district like so many cattle rustled by black-hatted government badmen.



Paul was one of only four Republicans to ask for earmarks in the 2011 budget, according to the American Independent. The House Republican Conference voted on extending its voluntary ban on earmarks in November 2010, but Paul ignores it.



Ron Paul has exposed himself as not only being a "fake" fiscal conservative himself but a hypocrite.

Nihilism Now!

Z, if you really want to have a serious conversation about politics, overall political thought or a specific policy, I'm all for it.

I won't have a serious conversation with someone who says they don't agree with Ron Paul and your response is 'Why do you hate freedom?'

It would be like me saying "oh, you like Ron Paul? You must be a drug addict."

How productive would a conversation like that be?

I'll respond sarcastically with the normal north-eastern limousine liberal elite persona I've perfectly cultivated here and mock you until the last latte of the day, but serious? Ha!

Edit: Removed an extra 'the' 'the the' was a band, but wasn't intended to be referred to in this post. fuzznj regrets the error.

I'd tell you, but you wouldn't recognize the car, because it's imported, rare and way out of your price range. for you to even know it exists would be cruel as it is such a luxury that once you lay your eyes upon it, it will consume your every thought and you will do nothing but try to possess one. It will become your precious as it were. So the answer is no, not a stretch Subaru, but something much nicer than that dream car of yours you mentioned. Just go to bed and dream knowing that the job creators are safe and comfortable when being transported to and from the club.
