The major stockholders of the media companies will lose a lot if Ron Paul wins the election. The man can't be bullied or bought off. He stood up for auditing the Fed when nobody else was. It's not so much the viewer as the voter. The voter is the boss of this country and the voter has been distracted over the years with sports, entertainment, easy credit, dreaming of getting rich quick in real estate and stock deals. That sort of thing. The boss of the store watched TV in the back room while the employees robbed him blind and others came in and looted the place. Basically what is going on in Washington DC now is what happens when the boss doesn't do their job. The American voter needs to grow up, take charge, and clean house. All I know is the boss is finally out of the back room looking at a huge mess and a looted store and he's mad as hell. What the next chapter is I'm not sure. All I know is Ron Paul is being shunned by the establishment because they have nothing to gain from him being president.

No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar! -
It's actually an accurate description. It's pretty much where I fall into. I'm a fiscal conservative and not a big fan of socialism. I'm pro choice. I think gay marriage is a current fad and if it was legalized it would be a minority of people who would actually make it work. The war on drugs has been a huge joke. I don't think just because hard drugs become legal will make people start doing them. If people want drugs or anything else they can get them. I'm pretty much a conservative who doesn't want anything to do with the religious mumbo jumbo or think we have the duty to support Israel. The whole Israel and Iran thing is religion. Why in the hell are we getting our country that stands for separation of church and state involved in a religious dispute? Let's get off the oil, get out, and let the chips fall how they may. It's not our issue. This is one of the main reasons I never liked the Republican party much.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Which would all be the Tea Party agenda if it hadn't been hijacked by the religious fundamentalists.Comment

Frankly, I can't wait for all of these cable news networks to go off the air. TV news is obsolete.Comment

And Bingo was his name-o.
I honestly believe that it was, at one time, a legit movement to lower taxes and decrease government spending. There's nothing wrong with that, and that's where it should have stayed.
But no, soon it was hijacked by a bunch of moral majority based idiots who needed a new indentity following Bush's 8 years of failure.
It's sick and disgusting in my eyes, and you've got people like my father about to walk into the trap of voting for idiots like Michelle Bachmann because she's hidden under the guise of being a "Conservative" and "Tea Partier".Still waiting for a relevant Browns TeamComment

Oh the movement is still there the right wing wackos just took the tea party name but it's how people vote at the end of the day. It's what goes on in that voting booth on an individual basis that really counts. The swing vote and that includes everyone. Neither party owns it and it decides presidential elections. The die hards will vote the party line no matter what. They never change. It's the people who show no party loyalty and vote the candidate who tip the balance in this country. Obama got those people in droves in 2008 but he is going to lose many of them in 2012 including some of the Democratic base. The only candidate I hear people on both sides of the isle who say they would vote for him is Ron Paul. The Republican establishment hate the guy. Ron Paul is catching more shit from the Republicans now than he is from the left. He's not wrapped up in the religious mumbo jumbo so the die hard religious fools will back Perry or Bachman and the more moderate conservatives will go with Ron Paul as will many on the left. So he will be interesting to watch. People are just sick of these two corrupt political parties.
Both the Republican and Democrat parties are scared to death their monopoly on power will go away if a candidate they don't back actually can win the presidency. That is their worst nightmare.Last edited by Nitro Express; 08-21-2011, 09:10 PM.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

@2:06 "I'm a principled non-voter"
Nearly fell outta my chair. Imagine a nation of people who agreed voting was a waste of fucking time? Who would we end up with? The Burger King mascot? I hear he's out of a job.Comment

Ron Paul as President would be extremely dangerous with the current teabagger congress. It would literally be the end of this country, because it would put the deregulation massacre of the last three decades on crystal meth, and by the time they were done, there would be no law or authority of any kind in this country except 100% predatory capitalist rule.
The only way Ron Paul could be President is with a Senate with 60 clones of Bernie Sanders and a House with at least 270 Dennis Kucinich types.
This way we would get the few good things that Paul believes in - ending imperalism, scrapping the "federal" reserve, and pulling the plug on the war on drugs - without any further advances of the KKKoch funded lunacy that passes itself off as "Libertarianism".Eat Us And Smile

But the media loves KKKoch funded lunatics. Just ask Bachmann, Perry, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, that fucking piece of shit in New Jersey, etc.
(Maybe the difference is that they're pro-war lunatics?)Eat Us And Smile
