Time is Running Out (email from Ron Paul)

Dear Friends,

Whenever a Great Bipartisan Consensus is announced, and a compliant media assures everyone that the wondrous actions of our wise leaders are being taken for our own good, you can know with absolute certainty that disaster is about to strike.

The events of the past week are no exception.

The bailout package that is about to be rammed down Congress’ throat is not just economically foolish. It is downright sinister. It makes a mockery of our Constitution, which our leaders should never again bother pretending is still in effect. It promises the American people a never-ending nightmare of ever-greater debt liabilities they will have to shoulder. Two weeks ago, financial analyst Jim Rogers said the bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac made America more communist than China! "This is welfare for the rich," he said. "This is socialism for the rich. It’s bailing out the financiers, the banks, the Wall Streeters."

What is the Obama/Biden position on clean coal?

Posted by bruni on October 09, 2008

does anybody know? i don’t think biden does…

"In the coal country of Castlewood, VA on Saturday, Biden said that instead of John McCain’s tax breaks for oil companies, the United States should be investing billions in clean coal technology. “We have enough coal to meet our needs domestically for the better part of the next 100 200 years,” Biden said. “That can free us from being dependent on foreign oil countries and at the same time not ruin the environment.”

Let’s Apply Some Logic

Posted by bruni on October 06, 2008

Currently, my television is repeatedly sending me the message that "we must act quickly" on the bailout package to avoid "dire consequences."

If it is true that we have come to a "point of no return" where swift action is required immediately, why didn’t these very smart people who are now FULLY AWARE of the crisis facing America notice it sooner and make the general public aware of the impending crisis?

Logic would indicate to me that this plan is being rushed through as quickly as possible in order to avoid Congress making changes to the plan.

Ready for the "Grand Finale"?!?

Posted by bruni on October 01, 2008

So… any predictions on how this season of "Presidential Election!" will end? It’s had an unbelievable, 2-year long run… it better have a good grand finale!!! The season finale has got to be coming up soon, right?

Maybe a twist ending, I don’t think sex scandals or election fraud will do it anymore, they’ve been waaayyy too overused. How about Bob Barr’s overwhelming victory? Or maybe it will be Bush suspending the election?

Bread and circuses to keep the masses content, right? It sure has been one hell of a media circus so far. It even beat American Idol and the Olympics! WHO CARES about Georgia/Iran/Iraq/Afghanistan/Pakistan or the Huge Mortgage Bailout or Healthcare/Education/Jobs/Poverty or Liberty/Justice/Security or the American Dream or America’s Future or finding America’s Role in the World, really, WHO CARES???? Let those GEEKY people on the news with no lives figure that pointless stuff out, since they have no lives with nothing better to do because they can’t get laid and are too ELITIST to get wasted!

Would you give Hockey Mom Sarah Palin the nuclear launch codes?

Posted by bruni on October 01, 2008

Not talking about Mccain.. just saying if it came to it and she became president, and we had a showdown with Putin and Russia. Would you trust Palin with the launch codes for a nuclear attack?
Honest question, why refer her to the ex-mayor of Wassilea rather than the Governor of Alaska?

Can I start referring to Obama as the ex-community organizer from Chicago like that was his highest achievement gained?

Official U.S. Economy as a Presidential campaign issue thread

Posted by bruni on September 30, 2008

While reading threads based upon the political theatre that is the U.S. presidential election on this forum, I keep stumbling upon posts that mention ‘how bad’ the economy is, and this thread is meant to educate ME and perhaps others on the subject of what our trillion dollar debt actually means, and what can the candidates do to fix it.
Stop beating around the bush in other threads, I want to know the situation, and both sides’ solutions.
Well right off the bat we all know that trickle down economics does not work.

Palin’s AFFIRMATIVE ACTION for Alaskans v. Alaskonomics

Posted by bruni on September 28, 2008

Palin likes to bring up how Alaska supplies 20% of the US’s domestic production. Oddly enough, she taxes possibly $60 or more into the price of a barrel of oil before sending it down the pipeline to us.

She then gives Alaskans a $3200 rebate check from the oil tax revenues. So, as governor, she basically jacks up the price of oil for the rest of America but cuts Alaskans a break by refunding that money to them. What’s the motto for her husband’s old political party….?
