National Review may be biased, but they don't fabricate quotes.

The citation for that quote on Wikipedia refers to National Review, http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/london200512160955.asp

I doubt they would have gone through the trouble of producing it just to post it on the internet. Does anyone know how much that costs? (seriously asking. I don't know) My guess is that it was intended for TV, but was killed by the higher-ups due to Stossel's libertarianism. In any case, it's...

I don't think this is a good idea. To upload, view, rate and comment 100 or so videos enough to get them on the most whatever lists seems unlikely. It also sounds terribly obnoxious. Flagrant gaming of Youtube will piss people off enormously. If you go through with this, there will be a lot...

I agree that early donations will build momentum, but I doubt the Sunday morning talk shows will report on it. I don't regularly watch them, but if I recall correctly, they're not even live. Is that right? In any case, they're fairly rehearsed and probably not flexible enough to cover it...

The Ron Paul Revolution side looks too much like a bomb. Oh well, I guess it's too late.

I think one of the reasons the number of contributors far exceeded the number of pledges on Nov. 5th was because as it was happening, word spread in the blogosphere (and the internet in general) and people who hadn't previously heard about it joined in. To make that happen again, it needs to be...

Republican in name only

1. He's said that he doesn't want to run as an independent. He's concurrently running for reelection to congress. Even if he changes his mind, I don't see any reason to be afraid. (see:14) 2. He's won 10 elections as a Republican. He was one of only four congressmen to endorse Reagan in...

Here's my best shot. It's not put together well, but the ideas are there. A free market is a more level playing field than a government-regulated market. Most people agree that big corporations and rich people in general have inordinate influence on the government. If we try to use the...

It seems that something about ARG's method of polling has been depressing RP's numbers. His numbers are consistently low on ARG's polls regardless of the state. A few weeks ago, he got 1% in NH. The best I've seen him get from ARG was 4% in SC. You can see for yourself on pollster.com (click...

What I meant was that people who disagree with Ron Paul on abortion might still be able to support him because of his positions on more pressing issues, such as the war. So, if confronted with someone who says that they wouldn't vote for Ron Paul because they disagree with him on abortion, I'd...

For the purpose of getting them to support Ron Paul, I'd appeal to priorities. People usually have strong opinions on abortion so it's unlikely you'll be able to convert them and it's best not to spend a lot of time talking about issues on which they and Ron Paul disagree. Appealing to...

As far as I can tell, the disagreement regarding "inflation tax" is caused by an underlying disagreement regarding objectives. I understand the objectives to be 1) Raise a lot of money for Ron Paul's campaign and 2) Market Ron Paul's candidacy by getting a lot of good press. Given these and...

That's so fake.
