Who is this Ron Paul?

[KAPital PHINUst]

In short, all the other major candidates, Dem or Rep aren't going to do a dang thing to improve this country. If anything, I guarantee you they will make it worse. If you hated Bush, you'll hate tenfold any of these other media-hyped oddballs, and you will regret voting for them for the rest of your life.

Okay, here's a summary:

Republicans:

Rudy Guiliani (The Ghoul): Bush times 10, only The Ghoul is much smarter and speaks much more eloquently. Also exploits 9/11 every chance he gets.

Mitt Romney (Great Mitten): Pretty boy Mormon who thinks he can charm his way into the White House. You're gonna learn real quick, what you see is what you get. All glitter and fluff, no substance.

John McCain (Ted Baxter): Former Vietnam POW that will push the Iraq war until 2050 if he wins the White House.

Fred Thompson (Randy Watson): A boring as f[rea]k dud that has no charisma whatsoever. When he asked for a round of applause after a boring speech, I always thought that after hearing silence after that speech, he should've shouted, "SEXUAL CHOCOLATE! He would've shown just a little bit of shine after that.

Mike Huckabee (The Hucklebuck): While I admire his Christian leanings, he is just as pro-war and pro-tax as any of the others would be, and that for me is a dealbreaker. Also, some of his dirt coming to light while he was governor is equally disturbing. I do look forward to seeing him on Meet the Press next week. Tim Russert is gonna whoop his TAIL like Mike Tyson the '88 Tyson/Spinks fight and I am going to ROTFL for the next three days.

Duncan Hunter: Who?

Alan Keyes: Lis-ten up, yall, 'cause Con-di's pissed.
She's tired of you I-raq pes-si-mists. Nuff said.


Democrats

Hillary Clinton: Simply put, she literally scares the snot outta me. She will actually be worse than Bush with the damage she will do to America. Don't believe me, listen to her speech on how America must win "THE NEW WAR!" (Iran?) Aww, shoot. Hillary must get her tail whipped in the general election at any and all costs.

Barack Obama: An overrated Congressional pro-war neophyte. Nuff said.

John Edwards: Another unimpressive candidate. Nuff said.

Dennis Kucinich: Ron Paul Lite. I can work with him if he can get rid of the pro-war attitude.

Joe Biden: Who?

Chris Dodd: Who?

Bill Richardson: Who?

God, I want to ignore you because my stomach still turns when I think of that other thread, but I just have to ask, where do you get this?--v

One of Kucinich's mainstay issues is that he is the only Democrat running who initially voted against the Iraq war and he has continued to oppose funding for it.

Nittany, if you feel you have to qualify your inquiry by taking up for that slandering insensitive grave-pisser, I respectfully refuse to answer your question. Period, the end.

Merry Christmas.

Happy holidays and a very Merry Christmas to you.

Kucinich is extremely anti-war and very dissimilar from Ron Paul. Paul is a true conservative and Kucinich is about as far left as one can be. Biden and Richardson are great candidates, Richardson is probably the most qualified person running for either party. Also, you described Huckabee as being pro tax like other republicans, the republicans are against raising taxes.

You are correct, I meant to say pro-abortion, but I got the Iraq war heavy on the brain, so I typed that in error. Mea culpa.

ETA: I was comparing Kucinich to Paul in that both tend to speak truthfully and not pander to any given audience, a rare find in a political candidate in this day and age.

As for Huckabee, then why did he constantly raised or pushed to raise taxes as governor or Arkansas?

It would seem that those without any real chance to win are more likely to be candid and truthful than the major candidates, whom have much larger interests in mind.
Arkansas has the poorest education and public service systems in the country, perhaps he needed to raise taxes? I don't really know, theres probably a very complex explanation behind it.

Ah, an interesting point. What do they have to lose by not being a front runner. What, tell the truth?

Arkansas is not a wealthy state and more hills than flat land. So maybe taxes needed to be raised, I do not know, I do not live there.

I do not see a so called Great White hope amongst this lot

How if any are going to change the mire and mud that has been built up for so many years?

Here is my Christmas present for all those reading this thread:

My Christmas Present

[KDAngel]

As a lobbyist and someone who's a freelance political strategist... I actually approve of Congressman Paul as a just that, a Congressman, but no way is the man capable of being the Commander-in-Chief... I wish people stopped paying attention to gimmicks and half thought out policies and really considered what they're supporting... so frustrating. Then again, I hardly consider Congressman Paul the worst of the bunch (either party that is).
