More like, imagine that. The GOP would never allow Ron Paul to run for pres. as a republican. He also would not be elected running as an independent. I like Dr. Paul he seems to be one of the few who have actual working people in mind when he legislates. His bills trying audit the fed never get anywhere. Most likely cause he wants to cause a rift in the status quo. For this reason no one will get behind him. The tv is going to tell the people who is going to win every election just as they always have. Ron Paul will go down as one of the like the thread is titled one of the "what if?" presidents.

I do like some of Dr. Pauls Ideas, Federal reserve, foriegn policy, government spending, military expenses, pull troops out of foriegn lands etc, but his social program reductions and laissez faire attitude about things does not enthrall me.
("Laissez faire theory means the belief that you should let events take place in their own manner. It comes from the French and it means ""let be"". In other words, if something is meant to happen it will happen. You should simply let it happy at its natural paste!")
("Laissez faire theory means the belief that you should let events take place in their own manner. It comes from the French and it means ""let be"". In other words, if something is meant to happen it will happen. You should simply let it happy at its natural paste!")
That last sentence there, did you mean to say "You should simply let it HAPPEN at it's natural PACE!"?

Why yes, actually I copied and pasted that right out of dictionary row, they are pretty silly, no? I've tried to get spell check installed on this site, but to no avail. I guess I'm way too computer illiterate. That was the definition for lassez faire.
May I ask you a question? If you make under 35K as stated in the poll, why are you a champion for the rich?

the question is "why aren't you a champion for equal protection under the law?" why is it that such protections should only apply to those who aren't wealthy? just as wealth makes you no more worthy of those protections, so too does it make you no less. you may feel that wealth can provide for its own protection, but no amount of money can save you from the violent power of government turned against the individual. i realize that the left is obsessed with dollar signs and claim that they are intent on doing away with the ravages of poverty, but there is something even more important than how much money you may have. without justice blind of social and economic standing, we no longer have a free nation.
Let me ask you a question with about the same substance. If you are a champion for the downtrodden why do you always post in Green?
The amount I make in a year has nothing to do with equality.

I'll answer your first question first: I do not champion big government, that would just be silly. I do not like the big brother scenario any more than you, But unlike you, I do see some good in government. The loss of individual freedoms since this war on terror, (A total right wing lunacy) gives me great concern. I do like that the government tries to level the playing field, By (stealing from the haves to give to the have nots) even though I'd rather see them Do Make work instead of giveaways, You know like the depression era WPA or something similar, Our infrastructure needs some drastic repairs.
The second question is rather silly, I post in green out of habit and I rather like the contrast over the simple black fonts. Has nothing to do with championing the downtrodden. Why do I champion the downtrodden, because mostly they are not able to do for themselves, and I would like to see a more gentle respectful generous society, instead of the snarky mean selfish society we basically live in at present, where those with money get every perk while people like Beardo are dying without any medical help except emergency care when he is bleeding excessively and full of puss. I guess your ilk champions that scenario, eh?
Yes, my "ILK" do champion justice and fairness, while you champion theft, fraud and physical violence. oh and the clubbing of baby seals too.

no, it's part of his retirement package from the teamsters. he was a teamster for 53 weeks so he's entitled to $1,000 a month and a shipment of baby seals to club every other thursday.

if an eight year old child wants to work 14 hour shifts in the coal mines 6 days a week, he should be able to.

What the fuck do you know about the teamsters? Answer: Nothing. And where did the baby seals thing come from? You are as nutty as NoDrama.no, it's part of his retirement package from the teamsters. he was a teamster for 53 weeks so he's entitled to $1,000 a month and a shipment of baby seals to club every other thursday.
I will say this, the teamster retirement package is very good, Jealous are you?
