Unless Oblamer gets re-elected and finds some excuse to declare a national emergency and then he can impose Martial Law, suspend the Constitution and put a "temporary hold" on all elections until he can "restore order." Then we can say goodbye to our freedom of speech.

No one is going to take the time to bring you up to speed on issues and information that is common knowledge to anyone who follows politics. Nobody is going to do your homework for you. Nobody is going to do your research for you. If you want to get the core of everything you know and believe from SNL and Jon Stewart and Bill Maher and David Letterman and the Huffandpuffington Post, then go right ahead. Be a knucklehead the rest of your life. Just stop pestering people with your childish no... [ More ]

Ridge says that it's documented that all Democrats are cheapskates - what's the proof - 2 tax returns and two articles - one from a blog and one from who knows where? Why not use wikipedia as well? Do you not think a google search would reveal a couple of liberal sites that dispute this? Do you not think there are a couple of Republican tax returns that show no charitable contributions? It's all who's interpreting the information... I know from what I speak because I've actually done... [ More ]

The conservative (jarasan) informed himself, shared the data, and you made a snoody comment that didn't refute his point. You just called the discussion retarded. I'll admit I sometimes think rdgrn's are way too harsh, and uncalled for, but most of the time, he's just doing it for fun. However, everyone who has presented facts and data here are conservatives, and we've just been called liars. OK all you libbies - explain this to me - how come when science supports your claims...

Uh oh... I got Ridge's boyfriend p*ssed. Nobody is talking to you so go play your computer games and leave the adults to it. This is a retarded discussion making blanket statements about groups and your desperate need to try to prove your point make you the biggest tard of thr bunch.

I also don't like that you lump him and Obama in one category. They're different ball parks. Obama wants to spend like 4 trillion next year, Paul cringes at the idea of spending even 2 trillion. They're in different ball parks. One's as liberal as they come, one's as conservative as they come. (I guess that depends on how you define conservative) Either way, fiscally, and in terms of political honesty, you won't find someone who matches Paul's integrity. Which is... [ More ]

I didn't lie about him. I saw Ron Paul say that each individual state should decide if they want to allow abortion or not. I believe people who kill babies should be tried for murder. And I think anyone who says a nuclear Iran isn't a clear and present danger to us is NUTS.<br

I also notice that Progressives have a tendency to make outrageous claims about economics without ever having spent time studying the subject. They go off on how wrong things are, without any knowledge on the specific subject. Again, this goes for a lot of people, but progressives, because of their directive to plan the economy, are specifically dangerous. Take the example of price gauging. The reality is, that anti-price gauging legislation creates shortages, and prevents pe... [ More ]

I suggest you spend a little time catching up on the news and current events before demanding a seat at the table.

The whining and namecalling that passes for debate in your circles just doesn't cut it here, junior. And here you are now having a full-blown meltdown about it.

As for Conservatives being more well informed, I'd absolutely believe it, because there are huge volumes of uninformed young liberals, who learn and tend to become more conservative, and because I've had logical fallacies and garbage yelled at me far more often from extreme leftists than extreme conservatives. I've also noticed conservatives tend to understand the need to be responsible for your actions. And to take human action, rather than use force. But that only goes so fa... [ More ]

I would like to refutiate one of your two points about Paul. (I'd question his specific stance on Iran not being very dangerous, because their are irrational people running that country, but not his stance that he would act only by Declaration of War by Congress or immediate threat to the US.) On the other point, Paul is completely Pro-Life. Completely. He always talks about protecting the rights of the unborn to live. Read this, or watch the video. I don't care i... [ More ]

Thanks for giving him the refs, the guy's an idiot, you have to explain everything to him like he just landed here from Planet Moron. It gets old fast, that's why I ignore him for the most part. I mean seriously, who on this planet hasn't heard about multi-millionaire democrats being incomprehensibly cheap with giving to charity? Uh, he didn't. Oh well, maybe Jon Stewart or Bill Maher or SNL forgot to mention it.

So two Demo tax returns are enough to document all democrats as cheap, penny pinchers... sorry but are you really that f&cken stupid? I've called Ridgy a moron at least twice... so I guess you'll now agree that he's a documented moron.

Here's just two of my criteria, Rick: Obama and Ron Paul are vacillating, hand-wringing wimps and p*ssies on defense and on the issue of standing up to Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons. I support an overwhelmingly, devastatingly superior to anyone military. I also support taking military action if necessary to crush Iran's nuclear program. Ron Paul is too big of a p*ssy to even consider it and Obama only makes decisions based on his own political fortunes. Screw both of 'em.<br... [ More ]
