Ron is running for President in case noone knows. If he starts to make some impact I will switch my allegiance from OB to him. He has been anti-Iraq war from the very get go and has never faltered in his opposition to the policies of Dubya. I'm posting this just in case you are unfamiliar with him. In any case, I will support him over any Libertarian candidate even though I am Libertarian (as well as libertarian). Unless, of course, the Libertarians manage by some miracle to put forward a serious candidate.

CALLER: I want a complete, impartial, and totally independent investigation of the events of September 11, 2001 . I'm tired of this bogus garbage about terrorism. Ask Michael Meacher about how he feels about this bogus war on terrorism. Can you comment on that please?

HON. DR. RON PAUL: Well, that would be nice to have. Unfortunately, we don't have that in place. It will be a little bit better now with the Democrats now in charge of oversight. But you know, for top level policy there's not a whole lot of difference between the two policies so a real investigation isn't going to happen. But I think we have to keep pushing for it. And like you and others, we see the investigations that have been done so far as more or less cover-up and no real explanation of what went on.

JACK BLOOD, GUEST HOST: I think it's fair to say that of all the candidates out there, the one most interested in reopening the investigation and clearing the questions is Dr. Paul; and you should be commended for that.

So Jack "Let's-all-bullhorn-ground-zero" Blood has annointed Ron Paul as "most interested in reopening the (9/11) investigation"......???

[yoda]Speechless I am![/yoda]

What's next? Dylan Avery for SecDef?

Hey Rik, thanks for not disappointing me. If I understand, Mr. Paul is not suggesting that the twins were not attacked by Saudi terrorists or that it was some part of a government plot. Merely that there were huge lapses in intelligence and such and it might be likely the attacks could have been foreseen and prevented. Your suggestion in posting this is that Mr. Paul suspects that the attack on the towers was part of a government conspiracy and I seriously doubt that.

Wow, how did I miss that? I guess the "liberal" media covered up the announcement.

That loss could cause them to fall below the zero percent support level.

And you CZ, thanks for not disappointing me by not posting the laughing dog. I have not seen a more effective tool in here for promoting thoughtful debate. Actually, I am more optimistic about the Libertarians since they have brought Bob Barr on board.

Bob Barr?


Bob Barr?!


Bob Barr!!!


:dl: :dl: :dl: :dl: :dl: :dl: :dl:



(for our friends overseas, Bob Barr is a Republican reject, a "family values" nutjob. Perhaps even a greater embaressment than Badnarik, and that's saying something!)

Scrut's diplomatic skills notwithstanding, Barr is a lunatic. While he was in office he represented the extreme fringe of the fundy wing of the GOP. He only became a born-again Libertarian after his ass was booted out of office--in the Republican primary.
 
This is sad news for those who enjoy postmodern comedy, as Pauls' entry into the ring may cause Badnarik not to have another go at it. Fingers crossed.

In as much as I have no idea who that is, even after clicking the link, I can not make a meaningful response.

He's a 9/11 conspiracy nutter who believes, among other lunacy, that no planes hit the World Trade Center - it was a psy-op done w/ some sort of live computer graphics interface, and the gov't even made the smoke and flames spell out "911" just to taunt us. See the lunacy for yourself.

:jaw-dropp

eta: the youtube video Killtown claims proves no planes hit the WTC.

You must realize that skeptics will howl with laughter if you seriously are touting Ron Paul and Bob Barr as cadidates.

I don't understand. You know I am not touting Bob Barr as a candidate. I am saying, having been a well known member of congress and holding positions not very different from most Americans, he will have a tempering effect on the more hysterical leanings of the party. He is pro-liberty, anti-war and nationally known. His most obvious blind spot has to do with the war on drugs.

As far as Ron Paul goes, well, they keep electing him to Congress in Texas - I guess that makes him a joke. But Al Sharpton and Ralph Nader they are SERIOUS candidates, right? It strikes me as down right absurd to talk about Ron Paul as some sort fringe candidate with whacky ideas when you have the likes of Dubya with some truly seriously whacky and dangerous ideas and policies actually serving in the White House. How many people are unnecessarily dead because of GW? But he's sane and dependable. I would suspect the number of unnecessarily dead people under Ron Paul would be a great deal fewer - try none. Yeah, he's whacky and far out there.

Well so sorry, but if Bob "I'm going to defund the vote count so that the people of DC who voted for the medical marijuana initiative won't be afforded the rights of other Americans" Barr is his idea of a running mate then his judgment is highly suspect.

Couple that with the idea that Jack "Bullhorn-Ground-Zero-With-Trooth" Blood is supporting him and I'm voting for...well...anyone else at all....

Thank you.

Simply put, when both Cleon and I are in full agreement that someone is a barking nut case, then they're pretty well like to be a barking nut case.

That's a full-on bi-partisan conclusion! ;)

No! All 3 are pathetic jokes who'd fit right in w/ Howard Stern's wack pack.
