Not trying to call you out in particular here -- I'm just using your post as an example of something that's been driving me nuts over the past few days. Namely, all the moaning and wringing of hands over Gilchrest's defeat in the primary. It appears that most of the gnashing of teeth (hey, I...

This thread is totally absurd, yet amusing enough to read all the way through. :)

Do you know anything about Wayne Gilchrest other than he's Ron's friend? I personally wouldn't lose sleep over Kucinich failing in his primary, even though he's a friend of Ron's. Gilchrest probably shares some small-government principles with Ron, but the guy is rated F by the GOA and D- by...

Oh, you're just bias because you know how to spell. :D

There was a balanced budget under Clinton. Clinton was not exactly solely responsible for the budget. I believe the balanced budget was far more due to the Republicans (who swept the house and senate in 1994), actually acting like fiscal conservatives and forcing the issue. As far as a...

Bwahahahahha! Libertarian cred for a socialized national health care plan? I'm afraid you don't understand the first thing about libertarianism, if you think Obama deserves libertarian cred for "allowing" people to not participate in socialized medicine. Did you miss the part where he's going...

I wasn't making a judgment about the quality of doctors in a socialist medical system versus a free market system (although I'd argue that the U.S. probably has among the best doctors in the world at some of the elite medical institutions such as Johns Hopkins). I was saying that Obama has...

Ah, that was a little hyperbole on my part. He wants socialist-style universal health care which is obscenely expensive. I just picked Cuba to reinforce the socialist cred that Obama has.

It's pretty sad when a slick-Willy politician speaking whatever nonsense Obama is saying -- a lot of words with no meaning and no substance, except for some nebulous promise of change that sounds an awful lot like socialism -- garners legions of adoring zealots. I'm sure plenty of people think...

He could, but why would he do that if he's starting to win primaries and catch up with McCain? He has ambition to be the president, and I'm sure he feels that he's in it to win at this point. His confidence will be rightfully bolstered if he starts dominating McCain as in Kansas today.

I don't think so. Not a dime of his money raised to secure the nomination can be used for his congressional race. I think he can use some/all of the money he raises for the general election campaign, but I don't think he's raising money for that yet.

I'd rework and/or remove this paragraph for several reasons. - He's not a "gun nut". I'm not even sure that he owns a gun. He's supportive of the 2nd amendment, and that's great. But a gun nut owns guns, loves talking about guns, shoots guns, etc. It's a hobby. - Did you know that "assault...

Your premise is false. He isn't, nor ever was, a true conservative. In his speech today when he announced he was leaving the race, he said that he's doing it to make sure the Republican party is unified in going after terrorists overseas. In essence, he was sacrificing his own ambition to...

It's a spike, but it's meaningless. It's like saying "Today's donations increased by 1000% over yesterday's donations!", when yesterday netted $1,000 and today netted $10,000.

Poetry...sheer poetry! :D
