Games Candidate Recap" en I'm sorry, that should read "June 2010," not 2009. My mistake, not his. Mon, 04 Feb 2008 00:58:51 +0000 Grombar comment 94060 at <i>Er, what date has Obama set on his “timetables to get us out of the war”?</i><br /> <br /> June 2009. Sounds reasonable.<br /> <br /> There's no logistical way to get our troops out "now." Do you know the process that goes into moving that many troops halfway around the world? Even if we started today, we'd still have men there a year from now.<br /> <br /> <b>Terrible Tom</b> said:<br /> <br /> <i>I understand that his platform isn’t going to be one everyone will agree with but at least its honest and at least it isn’t promoting ideas that have been tried before and don’t work at all.</i><br /> <br /> Yes it is. He wants exactly the economy we had a hundred years ago, when factories had no regulations and workers slaved away on hazardous machines six-and-a-half days a week for chump change, which they used to rent ramshackle buildings (no building codes) and eat food that wasn't fit for vermin (no FDA). <br /> <br /> Ron Paul says that, in a free market, everyone would treat each other fairly even if no one was there to make sure of it. But one look back at the Industrial Revolution is all it takes to prove him wrong. Sun, 03 Feb 2008 01:23:30 +0000 Grombar comment 94059 at Father time -- er, what date has Obama set on his "timetables to get us out of the war"? Maybe like "when things get better"? That's Bush's platform. Only one candidate in either party, Ron Paul, says it straight: NOW is the time. The other candidates seem intent upon focusing their attention on some vague date sometime in the future -- perhaps even 100 years in the future. Iraq might well become another Korea, you know, the place where we have troops stationed for over a half-century to protect Japan. I'll bet McCain would argue that our warranties on our Toyotas would be invalid if the North Koreans invaded and conquered Japan -- wake up sleepy Sheepies.

And he's black. So there goes all your moronic 'reasons' to not vote democratic (and you act like any republican other than Ron Paul will get us out of the war, preposterous).

Kingdoms come and go. Predicting a failure of a government without a timeframe is an easy prediction. Without a timeframe it's an utterly worthless prediction. <br /> <br /> What backs gold? <br /> <br /> There is nothing more inherent in the value of gold than there is in the value of paper money. It's just the perception that gold has value and nothing about the metal itself. Let's face it, if you are going to hoard any metal for an upcoming war it should be steel. Easy to work, recycle and hard to dent. Steel, at the end of times, is going to be far more valuable than gold.<br /> <br /> @Grombar<br /> <br /> That's upsetting to think that the IRS would come in with AK-47's and not good, American built M16's. But it wouldn't fit in with the whole commie pinko theme. But it's nice to see the homophobia and anti-semitism in their too. Fri, 01 Feb 2008 20:19:01 +0000 Mauler comment 94055 at Bah. "Disaster," not "Diaster." My kingdom for an edit button. Fri, 01 Feb 2008 18:14:49 +0000 Grombar comment 94054 at Ron Paul has made all kinds of loony, inaccurate predictions over the years. Here's one where he predicts that the new dollar bills they started printing in the 90s would be used to spy on people and destroy us all (and he charged people to tell them that):<br /> <br /> <a href="" title=""></a><br /> <br /> Let's not forget how closely he works with Gary North, who sold books on how to survive the inevitable diaster of Y2K.<br /> <br /> Face it, the guy attracts so many loons because he is one. Fri, 01 Feb 2008 18:11:20 +0000 Grombar comment 94053 at The federal reserve is going to crush the economy. The free market must be working.<br /> <br /> How is just printing money out of thin air some how more acceptable than having some kind of asset to back all of your notes? He is sane, it is insane to think we can continue in this system for very much longer. It is a miracle it has lasted this long. He has always said EVENTUALLY IT WILL END. He isn't saying it will in 10 years or 20 years, but eventually if we continue down this road we will have a great fall. Fri, 01 Feb 2008 17:53:33 +0000 Terrible Tom comment 94052 at Yes, it's wrong to agree with a smart person because they are smart. They have to have some special expertise in the field in quesiton otherwise it's called an appeal to authority. If you support Ron Paul do so because you believe his issue are right and not because you think smart people support him. Nuts also support him. Which is not all that odd since you can find a nut supporting anyone. You can find smart people supporting anyone too. The problem is that Ron Paul has more than his fair share of nuts if you want to use his "judge a man by his friends". Given his racist newsletter that his friends wrote for him, or so he says now, that's not really a wise policy.<br /> <br /> Ron Paul has been predicting that the US will hit bottom for years. In the 80's, 90's and now well into the 2000's. He will be doing it til he gets elected and then, assuming he can get his reforms passed, will make it happen. The gold standard will flat out crush the economy, make most people homeless, throw the world into a depression and thus start who knows how many wars. Judge Ron Paul by what he says, the racist, homophobic and xenophobic stuff that bears his name, and the economic policy he puts forth.<br /> <br /> What Ron Paul does show is that there is room for a more libertarian (don't tax, don't spend) GOP than the current tax and spend Republicans. And that is a good thing. You get someone who is, well, sane, and you might have a winner. Fri, 01 Feb 2008 17:23:11 +0000 Mauler comment 94051 at
