Moderators....thanks for putting a subject that has appeal to grassroots appeal as info worth spreading. One of our main gressroots functions is learning how to discredit our opponents. Ridiculous. Please shift back....no one comes here!

Most people assume that if you nationalize a department then the best experts in the country will flock to offer their expertise for the entire nation's benefit. But it's not experts that flock to centralized bureaucracies, but professional bureaucrats. At least they are the ones that succeed...

Here's a site that is tracking the timeline with links to the various events: http://www.ronpaultimeline.com/

Could there have been a bigger war hero for the Vietnamese side during the Vietnam war? It appears John McCain single handedly took down 5 US war planes, gave up military secrets without even troubling his captors to torture him ( He was known as Songbird). And to boot, it is speculated he...

The average voter can only understand 3 of the candidates. These 3 have been given the tick of approval by the channels they get their information. From this, Huckabee is simply more likeable than McCain and Romney. Hence the vote drift toward him, despite his not receiving as much media...

If you could see his soul, you would see something like Gollum.

I expect after today a lot of people will jump from McCain into the Huckabee camp. The only voted for McCain because they thought he was better than the slimy Romney. If they think Huckabee will beat Romney, they'll jump on board. I wonder if the MSM will jump behind Huckabee. I tend to think...

Romney just blamed the sinking economy on other nations. I think he specifically refered to Asian nations. The cure I guess is become trade isolationists:eek: He did mention energy independence. I guess that means the government spending $5 for every gallon of ethanol produced. What a snake...

I disagree, the media is the main reason why Ron Paul isn't competitive today. If he had been selected as the media darling, as McCain was, he would be doing at least as well as McCain I believe. Most voters don't think too deeply about any of the issues. They just get a FEEL from the MSM...

I think it is because he has been portrayed as an acceptable candidate by the MSM. And even though he hasn't received the same amount of coverage, he uses his sound bite opportunities cleverly and is considered more likeable than McCain or Romney by many voters. The fact is most people are...

New Zealand is pretty similar to Australia from what I have heard. The nanny state continues to grow. Centralization of power moves forward unabated. I actually felt freer, in some ways, living in China than I do in Australia. It's a shame the weather sucks there.

Why do lemmings run off cliffs? They don't know any better!

I think it is time civil disobedience. There should be a website with very clear communication about the purpose of the protest. That is, that the media is trying to effect the election. It should have a demand. Perhaps that demand should be for an enquirey into who led the blackout and it...

I remember hoping that 9/11 would wake Americans up, instead most of them became twice and stupid and crazy as they were before. I wouldn't hold out too much hope that a market crash will get the mainstream interested in Austrian Economics. The Great Depression led to 10+ years of the most...

Well spoken Alex! Keep up the good work.
