I think it lost all credibility when it asked my my position on the government subsidizing ethonol production but it didn't ask me how I feel about the government subsidizing any other energy source. Most of the questions are flawed.

About what I expected.

40---Thompson

40---Hunter

37---Huckabee

As usual, the big three are really out of touch.

Did anyone catch the debate last night on PBS? Probably not, but it was a shame that none of the major candidates bothered to show up when the main audience was minorities. But their absence actually allowed for substantive ideas and meaningful platforms to be conveyed, which was nice for a change.

Oh and: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articl ... untry.html

Crazy nuts. Someone check sorcho's wallet for those fake bills.

If you'll read the article carefully, you'll notice that Ron Paul never once said he agrees with those people. He was just speaking at their get together. He'll speak anywhere anyone invites him, including 9/11 conspiracy rallies. That article did a great job of trying to lump him in with those who believe in such conspiracies, but it's just not the case. I can show you video of him categorically denying any belief that 9/11 was an inside job.

I stand firmly behind Paul's campaign and give a large, center-oriented finger to those who criticize without taking a careful look at what it's about. Candidates like Ron Paul are the only chance this country has at saving the existing government.

I don't know if anybody has ever heard that wacko who calls into the morningline with all of his crazy conspiracy theories, (including 9/11 stuff), but he is a big Ron Paul fan. Not that that discounts the validity of what Paul has to say, but it's just funny that all of the tinfoil hat folks cling to him.

Sorcho, sometimes you are a bit too sensative. A lot of what I say is tongue-in-cheek or sarcastic. Yes I did read the whole article, I just find it funny the crowd you're going to find yourself standing in while supporting Paul. It's funny, not an insult. You should be happy that Paul got even this much press.

Pot, meet spelling-challenged kettle. Aren't you being a little sensitive in assuming that your post upset me? Tone on the Internet is all in your imagination. If you knew me, you'd know that it takes a lot to actually get me upset. I'm about as laid back as they come.

I'm not insulted, but I don't think it's funny either. The mainstream media has spun the Paul campaign to be one "for nuts", and that's just not true. In fact, I've found the opposite to be true. All of the most intelligent people I know are supporting Ron Paul. None of them are even remotely crazy. I can't for the life of me understand voting for any of the "big" candidates in this election, but you all have fun with that.

Arrogant?!? HAHA!!! That's rich. He's one of the most humble politicians I've ever heard speak. I'm not sure you can call someone "arrogant" and a "pig" at the same time without being hypocritical, though.

Sorry, but I can't take you seriously (much the less respond) unless you give me something more than an ad hominem attack. Specific examples, please.

I think his foreign policy is out of touch.

How do you feel about our foreign policy over the last seven years? And during the Clinton era?

Duncan Hunter was my winner.

In other news: Apparently I simultaneously agree and disagree with Mitt Romney on abortion.

Dude, learn when to let things go. Not everything is an attack, fight, or argument. I'll leave it at that, because you're obviously looking for something.
