    Great post, now prepare for the neocons to self-destruct. lol I can smell the wires burning already.

    Course, they will also tell you Santorum is the most Conservative candidate running. Completely ignore the fact that he proposed the Pet Animal Welfare Statute of 2005. lmao He's a small govt. conservative - ya know.

    The British are coming! The British are coming! What's with that accent?

    I don't think this video is really helpful. While it is ostensibly straight talk about the election process it looks very much like backdoor anti-Paul propaganda feeding perceptions on the right of Ron Paul as a hippie in a conservative suit. "Blue Republicans?" Really?

    Because many in the Republican Party are still sore over the abuse of open primaries in the last Presidential election putting McCain over Romney, those graphics of blue donkeys infiltrating red caucuses (complete with rasta doper buddies) potentially reopens that wound.

    The funny thing is they still THINK they're different...well funny may not be the right word...pathetic maybe? I'm so sick of it...anyone with half a brain stem could see that Ron Paul is the only man for the job, but most of them are so blinded by damn Fox News. I tell you Fox News is the reason for the damn neocons. It created them and it feeds them. They listen to all that bs even though none of the damn GOP nominees talk about what's important with the obvious exception of Paul. No one talks about the deficit, the useless wars, the fed...it's just so maddening!

    Couldn't agree more. Actually, neo-cons are worse than lib/progs. Lib Progs are purposefully ignorant, they know what they support - but as you said, neocons are oblivious to their hypocrisy and for that reason they will likely never see the reflection in the mirror.

    Yes, Fox News is a direct pipeline to the establishment GOP. They've a few exception - Stossel, the Judge. But they'll eventually muzzle them too. Honestly, I often wonder if the Conservative platform was ever a friend to true liberty. They've had individuals that said all the right things - Reagan, Goldwater etc. But in every instance where they've had to make a critical, self defining decision - they always align themselves with the bs crowd. Their principles are on life support because of people like Ron Paul. But after the way they've treated him and his supporters - it's all over for them but crying, ya know? lol

    What will probably come out of all this is a new two party push/pull with progs on one side and libertarians on the other. That is, if we're to hold on to the last bit of freedom we have now. We could easily lose it all to the police state.

    It is maddening. But the rational will never understand the irrational as you cannot reasonably explain the unreasonable. No sense in even trying. You can argue reason /logic - but never argue blind ideology. Only result is a migraine. Believe me.

    Absolutely agree. I expect idiocy from liberals, but when it comes from conservatives OR better known as neocons...it's just maddening. I've always identified myself as a conservative but I don't know how much longer I will continue to do that, on here I even changed my political status from conservative to libertarian. At least the libertarians have lost their identity, I line up pretty well with their platform anyway.

    I used to like Fox News a lot, but anymore I view them as just as bad as the rest of the MSM bs. I hate it. Like you said there are still a couple good ones like the Judge and I also like Neal Cavuto, but the good ones are disappearing. The day is coming that we will have to fight for our freedom just as the founding fathers did before us. It is the duty we have sworn to our country to protect it from exactly what is happening now...question is will the people be willing to revolt? Or will they simply stand witness to watch as our freedoms are stripped away? I will stand and fight, if and when the time comes for that.

    It is not only our right, but our duty to throw off tyrannical govt. I wholeheartedly agree. And those in power have a vested interest in maintaining the stability of the system they've erected as revolution undoubtedly leads to the end of their reign. Revolt doesn't necessarily have to come in the form of armed revolution. One of the best things we can do for ourselves and posterity is to involve ourselves in every level of govt. Including party politics as that was the vehicle used to subvert the system to begin with.

    I believe that is why Ron Paul is so feared amongst the establishment. His supporters know the difference between true liberty and subservience and are actively involving themselves within both govt. and established political parties. It's only a matter of time until those chickens come home to roost. Govt. would love nothing more than for citizens to engage in violent revolt as that opens the door for them to unleash the full weight/power of govt.

    That said - the day they fire on civilians is the day the citizenry says game on.

    I agree with everything you've said. I will also add that the day the government tries to take away our guns is the day we no longer have a choice but to fight.

    The reason Ron Paul is so feared, is because Ron Paul wants to return the country to the people ruling the government instead of the government ruling the people..."for our own good"

    Mitt Romney won`t beat Obama, why? Ron Paul's voters won't vote for him (I'd say will make up at the very least 9% of voters, but I think will be higher), radical Christians won't vote for him (now I'd say that's only about 1% of voters), so unless Obama suppresses more voters than Romney, Obama will beat Romney.

    Rick Santorum could beat Obama, BUT I would question voters sanity, If people were truly American they'd vote for neither.

    Newt Gingrich won't beat Obama, too much of a gap between key "demographics", Women and Minorities (Whoever the nominee is will lose Minorities, but women will can be swayed under a different candidate).

    If you think Ron Paul's support is small that it doesn't matter, than i'd encourage you to explicitly mock Ron Paul supporters. I'm sorry to tell you this but we will not be easily persuaded, we are one "demographic" you do not want to suppress. And I'm sure you wish you could make us change our minds, Just like we wish to change you mind. We are at a gridlock. And unlike you I am prepared for 4 more years of tyranny, because unlike you I see tyranny in all of the candidates, not just Obama.

    Good that's fair enough. This whole 2012 race has been set up to prop up Obama, to give him a weak field. with the exception of Ron Paul (even lobbyists have said he can't be swayed) the politicians in this race will get a bigger pay day if they lose to Obama.

    "...radical Christians won't vote for him."

    Hmm. Radical...? I almost think I understand what group you are referring to by that, since I know there's the hubbub over the LDS. But the winds I'm smelling from that direction reek of "Obama is a closet Muslim" as well (meh), so the only way Romney doesn't get their votes over Obama is if they completely abstain. Because, no matter if they think the LDS church is a cult or not, they don't fear it the way they do Islam.

    I don't know how else to describe the Christians that support war in the middle east, and are very anti-homosexuality.
  • Mantic Savior 2012/03/23 20:19:32
    Mantic
    Those are different things entirely. And not always hand-in-hand.

    But on that: support for war in the middle-east. Seems that blows with whatever president is behind it, regardless of religious affiliation. If you mean rather supporting our relationship with Israel, again, that could be another matter. However, on that, only Ron Paul runs into problems, not Romney.

    On "homosexuality" the only politically pertinent point is "gay marriage." While I strongly suspect Obama will be very accommodating to the gay lobby if given a second term (his not doing more in the first term only reflecting fear of damaging re-election chances), Romney certainly isn't going to lose any Evangelicals on that issue. Ron Paul's position is not supportive, either -- rather, he just wants the Federal government out of the marriage license business altogether.
  • Savior Mantic 2012/03/23 21:03:39
    Savior
    Yeah, there is very few wars I would get behind.

    okay but I do think there are Christians that are pro-war and anti- gay marriage at the same time.

    I see Paul doing an 'end-run' around the other three, while they're battling against each other. The MSM is totally lying their bleeps off on the delegate numbers and how that all works. This might be the first-time since 1960 that the People's voice may actually win-out.
