    What is the official campaign strategy? No brokered convention, no third party.

    I always thought his responses to the "will you run as a libertarian?" questions were to scare the other candidates. If Paul runs as a libertarian the democrats win. I can still see Paul being offered a position like Secretary of the Treasury, maybe even VP. That would be a victory in my book.

    If McCain gets the nomination...

    I'm wondering if Dr. Paul might be offered the Secretary of Treasury position, or even the vice presidency. Sure, McCain and Paul don't agree on a lot of things, but I'm sure McCain and Dr. Paul know that a libertarian run would split the party and hand the democrats the white house.

    McCain not a citizen born in the US?

    He was born on a US base to US citizens. He has every right to citizenship and to run for president.

    So who is actually watching the State of the Union?

    I almost forgot about it, but I turned the TV on in time to watch the last 20 minutes or so. I was thinking the same thing. It creeps me out when I remember that I used to support this guy.

    If we have 3 branches of government, why not have 3 parties?

    Well, we have had a major political re-alignment every 70 years or so. The Free-Soilers and Anti-Slavery Whigs joined together as the Republican party in 1860, ending the Whig party and forcing the southern democrats to adapt. Then there was the great depression re-alignment in 1932 when FDR was...

    Duverger's law: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duverger%27s_law A plurality rule election system tends to favor a stable two-party system.

    Steve Jobs already sold out to the devil when he partnered with AT&T on the iPhone. Personally, I can't stand anything Apple so I'll be perfectly happy to boycott all apple products. :D There are alternatives to quicktime for playing back .mov files (google quicktime alternative) If you have...

    John McCain Ineligible To Be President [Mod: Info is disputed]

    The only abuse of the citizenship system is the one Dr. Paul has pointed out: We're giving citizenship to the children of illegal aliens. I don't see anything wrong with granting citizenship to a child born to US citizens outside the states. I was a week away from being born in Turkey! :)

    What was Ron's highlight in the debate?

    I missed the debate because I've been avoiding Fox anything like the plague (even Family Guy :(). I've watched most of it on YouTube though. I thought he did great all around. His debate style seemed a little different this time. I don't know how to describe it, but it's like he's aiming for a...
