Haha

Just out of curiosity, where do they get the power to monitor our elections from? This should not be tolerated. We have a ton of domestic vote watching groups on all sides of the political spectrum, we dont need UN authoritarian morons getting involved.

Doubt it would be that bad.  Would be 1964 worst case, and I think that's still pushing it.  Maybe 1996.

Judging from the Republican primaries and if the Republican establishment will not sabotage his campaign, Ron Paul can carry all the traditional Republican (Blue) states (the lesser of the 2 evil arguments still can apply and the main stream Rep voters would go with Paul).

Besides that, Paul will carry Nevada, with a strong Libertarian leaning and very well organized base. Also, NH and VI would vote for Paul also, as shown in the Republican primaries.  Even a district in Maine.  Paul really is more accepted than the media and the establishment parties wants people to believe.  I think if he had run against Obama, it would been an easy victory for the Republicans.

Easy? Not at all. Victory? 50% chance of that happening.

How about offering a serious rebuttal for once?

Look up Ron Paul's views on SS, Medicare, entitlements, the economy, abortion, ect, ect. It's just not electable.

And no, the American people wouldn't just stop being sheeple or whatever they call it, and join the RON PAUL REVOLUTION despite what the Paulites think.

While I fully support the repeal of 9/11 fear-mongering legislation, no. The law expressly states that if you're a US citizen, you can be picked up by the US Armed Forces and disappear. No trial, no anything.

That's incorrect. Please read the link I posted too.

Here it is again: http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2011/12/defense-bill-passed-so-what-does-it-do-ndaa

That is what the law says. Read the law.

And if you're citing humor websites: http://www.cracked.com/blog/ndaa-biggest-election-issue-no-ones-talking-about/

If you're putting this here, I'll take it to be an exceptionally good post.

Did you read the article I posted? What specific parts did it get wrong?

(and Mother Jones isn't a humor website. it also made news this election for posting the 47% video)

Yes; most of it is wrong.

And yes, Mother Jones is a humor website. They claim not to be, but that's all part of the fun. They're like The Onion.

Let's just forget the Mother Jones thing for a second...


What, specifically, in the article is wrong? And where is your evidence that those specific parts are wrong?

Pretty much all of it. Citation: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c112:H.R.1540:

Except the ones who actually won.

SJoycle- you're forgetting the rule of the board... any one who makes comments supporting the Democratic Party gets a standing ovation from the members in front of their computer monitor...any other comment gets that person attacked as stupid, irrelevant, evil- you name it!

I actually find it very funny in a watching-a-train-wreck kinda way.

I quote this as absurd. You apparently find train-wrecks to be funny.

It's funny how Stark managed to return and stay under the radar.

Who the  is stark is that meant to be some sort of insult. Seriously hella annoying you ing communist criminal hahahahaaha.

Just when you thought this thread couldn't get any worse:

Neutral.  You have some good ideas but some of them seem extreme.

Okay, maybe this will get me my very first entry in this thread (maybe not, I haven't read all the way through it) but, HOW IN THE HELL is that an absurd observation?

So which was funnier this past week: Texas, where 4 veterans died when the parade float they were on was hit by a train, or Egypt, where 50 or so school kids died when the school bus they were on was hit by a train?

I suppose I'll be the one who puts  these in here -

The Southern strategy had nothing to do with pandering to racists.

Didn't you read my links?  The Southern strategy had nothing to do with race.  It was about convincing Southern moderates who supported civil rights to fight against the segregationist Democrats by voting Republican.  And it's not ludicrous to point this stuff out.  If Republicans had been the party of slavery and segregation (as many high profile Democrats already suggest in their alternate history), no matter how long ago it was, would you want to support the GOP today?

And if Romney was really using racist "dog whistles", then surely you would have heard more controversy over it in this day and age.

The links in question -

First of all, race may have been a factor in 1964, but it wasn't after that.  And stop making fun of me on the Southern strategy.  Read these articles to prove my point:

I meant it as a figure of speech. Sorry...

I suppose, in a way, your attempt to defend the supposed comedy of the idea of a trainwreck turned into something of a trainwreck itself.

Yes fellas.

Also, Hitler was aggravated into invading Poland.  World War II was the fault of the warmongering British. . . . . . .
