The Republican National Convention will pay tribute to Texas Rep. Ron Paul during the second night of its convention.
Romney campaign adviser Russ Schriefer told reporters on Friday that the Romney campaign had assented to requests by Paul supporters to air a "short" film paying tribute to the retiring Texas congressman, who's attracted a devoted following in his two bids for the GOP presidential nomination.
The film — along with a speaking slot Monday for the congressman's son, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul — is a nod toward the influence of Ron Paul, whose supporters, convention organizers have worried, might stir a small commotion during the roll call vote to nominate Romney.

Schriefer confirmed that convention delegates would vote to formally nominate Romney for president on Monday; the presumptive Republican nominee would become the official Republican nominee on Thursday night, when he accepts the nomination. (At this point, Romney would be able to access and spend funds he has raised for use in the general election campaign.)
Top Talkers: The Cycle host joins the Morning Joe panel to talk about the upcoming speeches at the Republican National Convention and to explain why Mitt Romney "needs a moment where he looks presidential" to excite the base and have them rally around him. The panel also discusses the possibility of Romney receiving the nomination early.
Television networks have signaled that they will only broadcast three nights of coverage, raising the possibility that Monday's festivities — including a planned speech by Ann Romney — would be missed by a national audience. Schriefer wouldn't shoot down rumors that the Romney campaign might move Ann Romney's speech if the networks don't extend their coverage plans.
"I'm optimistic that the right thing will be done," he said.
Other features of the convention include plans to feature fellow members of Romney's Mormon church, and 15 Olympians — meant to highlight Romney's widely acclaimed tenure as head of the Salt Lake City Olympics. Three Olympians will speak, most prominently Mike Eruzione, the captain of the 1980 U.S. "Miracle on Ice" Olympic hockey team.
Organizers are pushing ahead with planning despite warnings of a major storm turning toward Tampa, the site of the convention. Schriefer boasted in particular of the modern backdrop onstage of speakers, which he described as a "Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired piece of architecture."

Romney will do whatever it takes to keep the Libertarians in line. It sure would be an embarrassment to watch Ron Paul walk out.
Ron,
He is a politician just like Obama.
Obama, evolved to Gay Marriage, to do what?
Obama changed his mind on immigration, to do what?
And Obama changed to run a dirty Campaigned to do what? Because he can't run on the economy.
It is a free Country and Ron Paul can do what he wants. Just keep in mind that Libertarians do not want a big government and have young voters also.
The RNC is trying to keep Maine's 20 Ron Paul supporters from being seated at the convention. It is beyond me why the Romney people are so threatened by a bunch of Down East Libertarians, but here it is.
http://bangordailynews.com/2012/08/23/politics/rnc-deals-new-blow-to-paul-supporters-effort-to-seat-all-20-convention-delegates/
They will gloss over the fact that Ron Paul still thinks Romneycare was not the right answer. They'll put up a fake tribute to him, but no way in hell they'd let the man speak. No friggin' way.
Libertarians claim to not want big government, then why did Paul sign the person-hood pledge to take rights away from women and move the government into your bedroom and between you and your doctor?
That's right even the libertarians want to make women into second class citizens.
Men like Limpy who think you have to take a birth control pill every time you have sex to not get pregnant and men like Ryan who think that women don't get pregnant during legitimate rape are the men that want to be in control of your body.
Don't women deserve to be first class citizens too, just like a free man can make decisions about his own body?
VOTE FOR WOMEN'S FREEDOM...VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT 2012
Ah, Romney, the great appeaser!
So, is Ron the dog or the pony. He's gotta know he's being used....
Say Ron, you think O has bent [as in over] to appease a few dems?
Naw, he has been rock solid in his positions.
Sure he has Ron. Not like he a politician, right?
But shoot Ron, the funny thing he O has little concern of people walking out of his convention. You know, cause so many dems are not coming in the first place.
Now why is that Ron?
Hit Girl - love the avatar. Kick Ass.
Ursula: if you want to talk about the great appeaser:
We can't have Queen Ann not have her moment in the spot light, broadcast live on all the networks and Fox.
What the GOP is really afraid of is that the delegates who are Ron Paul supporters, although nominally they are supposed to vote for Mitt Romney, will stage a protest and NOT vote for Mitt Romney on the first ballot. That would open the convention up to a floor fight for delegates which Mitt Romney might actually lose.
Aside from the entertainment value that would provide the people who actually think before voting, such an action would let the rest of the GOP supporters know that they don't have to be in lock step with the Teavangelical Rethuglican part of the GOP. It would give moderates an inroad to take back the Grand Old Party from the far right wing nut cases. The Paul Ryans, Michelle Bachmans and Mitt Romneys of the GOP would rather not have people using their brains to think.
ZOMBIES for Romney/Ryan 2012 !!!!
Yep, this latest action is classic Romney trying to appeal to everyone to the point of looking multi-faced. Noticed I didn't say two-faced. Romney takes it to an entirely new level.
The Clown Car known as the Republican Convention rolls on.
Ron Paul is twice the man Romney is. Of course, that ain't sayin much...
The GOP is just trying to mend the schism between themselves and libertarians, as many of them are ignoring Romney and still voting Paul.
Ohh, how nice...while they are stabbing him in the back, they are shaking his hand...
tribute to Ron Paul = Republican "thank you" for going away quietly
Bev. - 30 people shot in Chicago in just 45 minutes?
Wow.
Sounds like Spanky is ready for some new gun laws.
spanky, glad to see your keeping relevant and on topic.
WOW.
Spanky - when you've got absolutely nothing of value to say, you turn to the gun violence in Chicago. Yes, we have problems here with gangs which, of course has absolutely nothing to do with the Presidential election.
Let's see - at least 4 people were shot in front of the Empire State Building this morning - in crowded NY. Want to squawk about that too?
You are such an insignificant little man!
Beverly - it's going to be a 3 ring circus in Tampa. But, not a very good circus so my guess is the smart people will go to other entertainment!
Obama/Biden 2012
Republicans can be disturbing (Toddler Akin) and they can be so destructive too, their convention has not even started, but already caused nature's wrath - a hurriCane (Isaac), but 4 years ago, the GOP got McCain.
Obama The great underachiever.
Why would you waste your vote on this fool again?
Ron Paul 2012
SS, I wonder if the tribute to Paul will focus on his claim that he has delivered perhaps as many as 4,000 babies 'free', no charge to those without medical coverage.
Doubt it myself......Paul reportedly was an Air Force Flight Surgeon then OB/GYN.....Quite a stretch.
Maybe that will be a bridge too far, considering their positions.
rukidding - Romney, the consummate flip-flopping liar. Why would ANYONE EVER vote for this charlatan?
Obama/Biden 2012
The Republican Convention is going to one big hate fest.
I'm going to try to tune in, but I'm guessing it ain't gonna be pretty, they'll be challenging each other to see who can come up with the most rotten things to say.
Obama/Biden 2012
Hit Girl:
I'll be the pony as you must be the dog.
Seeking and AF - NY has superduper strict guns laws.
So you admit they did failed, just like they fail everyday, in every way in Chicago.
Seeking - are you saying the gangs ignore the laws? You don't say.
Well then, guess we're going to need some more laws, right?

UnConcern Citizen,
Get your facts straight. Our President never changed his mind o immigration and is not running a dirty campaign. Romney ran the dirtiest primary and is still running Lies about Medicare and "you didn't built that". every fool out there running those " we did built that" has taken funds from the government.
Independent fact checkers have said this line of attack is dishonest
The Daily Dolt noted on Wednesday that part of the GOP message may be undermined by the fact that the Tampa Bay Times Forum arena — where the convention is being held — was financed with $86 million in public money.
The guy in the ad claiming he built his business with his hands also got government money
Also, Romney will never evolve towards the 21st century in regards to civil rights for the LBGT community. He can't even give a straight answer on abortion or Todd Akin. In fact "MYTH" would even allow the press to ask questions about them.
Obama/Biden 2012
Pandering to the Ron Paul Army wont work! This couldn't be more telegraphed and disingenuous, at some point Romney just needs to be who he is! A moderate who favors Corporate America, he is not going to win acting like Sarah Palin..

Spanky - do you actually understand what post this is? We're talking about the Republican Convention and Presidential politics. Please, at least TRY to comprehend and stay on topic!
It may be the Republican National Convention, but it seems that President Obama will be the talk of Tampa. Seems like President Obama is all Republicans can think about!

Spanky is one of the most dishonest, back biting, sadist posting here from his public library account.
Yeah, I do tend to spend a lot of time at public libraries.
In fact I often ride public transportation to them.
But seriously we are building a $300 million new library about 2 miles from my office.
Cause you know, San Diego is flush with cash and all.
Sanity - such a good little lemming. The media can post what it want, but we are not constrained.
That's why the newspapers and magazines are all going under.
Oh, and you are not the boss of me. Is that what your ex used to tell you?
Spanky
Bev. - 30 people shot in Chicago in just 45 minutes?
Wow.
Don't you think if some of these RepubliCON Superpac donors would get up off some of the millions of dollars and put those dollars in the economy to create J-O-B-S, education, and police instead of trying to defeat our President with negativity would help?
Beverly - he's really over the top today. Racing from one irrelevant topic to another. He must get dizzy by noon! He's a perfect fit for Mitt - nothing of value to say but scream it at the top of your lungs!
Spanky - don't deflect your failings onto me. No ex, but my guy likes that I think for myself - you know - the thing that terrifies Republicans - a smart woman! Don't worry - you'll never have one near you!

Spanky-
you claim to be a lawyer, right? You're either really bad at it or you're not a lawyer because I have never met a lawyer that would spend - be able to spend actually - so much time on posting.
Oh look! Now that the republicans and fox news have defanged Paul they have graciously thrown the old man a bone. Nice consolation prize for ol' Ron. Poor old guy...
I am gonna tune in and hopefully the lot will get washed out to sea so the party can start over.
4 more for 44 BITCHES
The selective hearing applies to both the left and right. And even when people aren't "in denial" about what is going on (whether journalists or otherwise), Democrats defend Obama's abuse of power, just like Republicans defended Bush's. That's what is great about the liberty movement: it's a non-partisan attempt to discern the truth.
Spanky sure is real quick with the gun violence comments - does he think they are funny?
He mocks the gun laws in Chicago and New York, but fails to point out that most of the guns captured in crimes in the major cities can be traced back to states with lax gun laws.
In Virginia, they had a law in place stating you could only buy one gun a month - that was too restrictive, now you can buy as many as you like.
Paul Ryan - The Deficit? I Built That!
Mitt Romney - "Big business is doing fine..."
The tribute to Ron Paul is the republican/tea party way to try to keep him from running as a Independent!!! All I can say is run Ron run.
Republicans are desperate for every single vote. They know Romney's chances of winning are very slim.
They still have a problem with Ron Paul if they totally ignore him his supporters may just write his name on the ballot, they have done that before, if they do a tribute to him it reminds his supporters that Ron Paul is not a republican he just ran as a republican this time to get more attention to his message, which in many ways is not the republican message, so his supporters may very well write him in again. The republican party is fractured in many respects, and Romney just can't pretend to be what each group wants, not after bailing out on Akin, and not after the RNC stated that he does not represent the party platform. It will be close, but I am still betting there is no way Romney gets the 270 electoral votes he needs, his party is just not that excited by him.He has also got a huge problem with his tax returns and he knows it he is still trying to spin a good reason why he will not show them, but the bottom-line is that until he does no excuse will do, because everybody knows what it means when you "take the fifth". If he did not feel they would be politically devastating to him he would have shown them by now. That issue will not go away and when it is time for the debates he will twist in the wind with lame excuses why he is not willing to show the American people the tax returns they have come to expect of their candidates for president. The debates are going to be brutal for Romney, he has far to many self contradictions to reconcile, in any sensible way. Romney is phony, even his own party knows it, the hard core Obama haters will accept phony, the general electorate will not.
Their convention will be interesting, kind of like herding cats.
Beverly in Chicago who very eloquent writes:
Not being picky but it should read (his mind on immigration). No problem I make mistakes also and I see them and I take criticism for it.
On the the Convention building in Tampa you are saying that the government buit that? No Bev, it was out tax money that payed the workers to build that. Where does the Government get the Money to pay for anything? Are they in the retail business?
I hope you're correct Forrest... because there's a LOT of hate, fear, ignorance, and intollerance to go around... just the way the puppet masters of the right like it.
Gotta keep the natives from becoming restless. And oh looky, we have Jeb Bush and Condi Rice there to make Paul Ryan look like he's in the same "gravitas" league. Hahaha, the VP is picked for purposes of becoming the POTUS if need be. That means Paul Ryan's definitions of rape as "forcible" and all his other baggage is *next in line*-- And assuming Romney has any convictions of his own and isn't LYING about his position on abortion.
True Patriot,
It seems very strange to have Jeb and Condi .
It only highlights who is missing from the love fest:
Two former Republican presidents: Bush 1 and Bush2

On the the Convention building in Tampa you are saying that the government buit that? No Bev, it was out tax money that payed the workers to build that. Where does the Government get the Money to pay for anything? Are they in the retail business?
Since you put it that way, you do realize we all put our tax dollars in? That means it wasn't built alone.
Hey Ron_Indiana - I think you should check your mirror more carefully; there's difference between being a pony and being an a_ss. Just sayin'....
Get your facts straight. He has never claimed he delivered 4000 babies "free" of charge. He has said he delivered 4000 babies. He has stated he worked in a charity hospital for $3 an hr. He has said that he never took medicare but if someone could not afford to pay that he would take care of them anyway.
Republican convention will feature tribute to Wrong Pal (Ron Paul or Mitt the Vulture?)
Sorry to have to inform you but the following will NOT be allowed to speak at the Miami, Florida GOP Convention...
Hope you are not too disappointed, but look at the bright side...
LOTS and LOTS of Retirees and Seniors will be standing outside Convention Hall protesting that little whipper-snapper Ryan who wants to take away their Social Security, Medicare and other earned benefits!
Oh, and God may make an appearance via his Hurricane Isaac, because he's really p-o'd at how the GOPs have been pandering to the Gays!
Let's be honest people!
Snookie turned them down..
And remember
This GOPera is all over when The Fat Christie sings!
Beverly: I am confused. The gov didn't build the building but the taxpayers did? What cracks me up is that many look at the gov as some big ape or something over at the sideline when if they themselves work for the state, fed, county, schools, etc. they are part of the government. There is no part of our government that is not a citizen of our country. Every rule that was ever made was not made by a space alien or some unknown entity. I wish instead of referring to the gov, people would say "we the people". The gov does not have a mind of its own although I wish there would be one central agency who oversaw all of the agencies. Maybe there should be an oversight committee with a rep from the sup court, congress and the vp. The problem we have is usually noone keeps certain agencies in control except for on occasions when they get too carried away with what they are doing. I for one do not think a political party should be using taxpayer dollars for anything. They are rolling in dough so they should use it for that instead of stirring up trouble and creating mischief. Btw I remember clearly the republicans praying for rain on the Democratic convention in 2008. I thought it was contemptable then. The Dem convention was fine. However, the republican one had to postpone some events due to rain from a hurricane even though the hurricane was in the gulf and they were in Minnesota. I am wondering if God remembers those prayers and are repaying them doubly? I predict the Democrat convention will be sunny and bright and Hurricane Isaac will visitthe convention in Tampa. Be careful what you pray for you might get it! Back then I was appalled that Christians would pray for rain on a convention. Christians don't do that. But since then that is very very minor to what those "Christians" have been up to since then. I am beyond appalled. I am down to well God you handle it. It seems to be beyond us. Lies upon lies upon lies affect peoples attitudes and when I talk to some republicans it is very apparent that that is what has happened. 99% of it is pure unadulterated malicious garbage.
Bruce. Sorry to inform you but the convention won't be in Miami. It is in Tampa right in the path of Hurricane Isaac. Someone asked dufus what about the hurricane and he said just as long as we can get to the airport. That is comparable to the statement that Palin made about what does a vp do anyway. I have never been in a hurricane. But family members have and I watch tv and see destruction. Anyone with only half a brain or less should know that usually paths of hurricanes are predicted but they have been known to be going one direction and then turn and go another. They don't know the force of the hurricane. It can gain strength as it goes over water or lose strength over land. They don't really know exactly where the hurricane will go. So Romneys only concern is getting to the airport. That is like the statement of if you don't have money for college borrow it from your parents. And he wasn't joking. He doesn't know I guess why that statement was stupid. Just the airport statement. At least Biden had the good sense to postpone his trip since it was in the hurricane path too. It will be interesting. I will be watching the hurricane and what it does rather than the phone baloney produced at the convention. With all that vitriole and hotair in there who knows what will happen to those buildings separate from the hurricane! For republicans I think you reap what you sow and you can't always determine what it will be that you sow.
Pretty much Forrest, well stated sir.
SSSHHHHH facts don't do well around here.
I think Chuckles (Ron Paul) is great and courageous on foreign policy and civil liberties issues but a wack job on economic/domestic spending matters.
Belief in the "free-market" is like belief in the tooth fairy or Santa Claus as far as I'm concerned.
ktlin, THANKS for the CORRECTION. I have posted that comment a fews times on different blogs, and you are the first to let me know of the error. I thank you. And, I read your comments and you make a lot of really good points with good common sense. Too bad most of the folks here won't or can't comprehend what you have to share. Take care and have a great evening and day!
Speaking of the Olympics...
Will Rafalca be getting a speaking spot?
The poor critter would make more sense than Pampered Princess Annie!
I sure hope Annie is able to keep her wagging finger under control while lecturing "YOU PEOPLE"!
Whhhhhheeeeeeeeeeee hope so! If not, at least a 15 minute video tribute to bring in all the horse lovers!
Much like the Willard Campaign...Rafalca didn't win, despite all the fancy dancing!....lol

Schriefer wouldn't shoot down rumors that the Romney campaign might move Ann Romney's speech if the networks don't extend their coverage plans.
A note of gratitude.
I'd like to first thank the broadcasters who have decided to only broadcast 3 nights of this offshoot of the Ringling Brothers Circus event.
The GOP may move Ann's speaking engagement to another night? Who the hell cares what the little finger wagging princess has to say?
Great point old gal.
Not like Michele is pampered or anything.
Why I bet all the ladies here at First Read rock $6k blouses on a routine basis.
Then again, in a battle of wits I'd take the horse over Joe B any day.
Let's just hope Joe doesn't offer to write anyone a speech. He really doesn't need to get busted, again, for plagiarism.

I don't suppose you know that.
One has to wonder what stupid garbage Biden will say in Tampa, or at the DNC party. The moron doesn't know where he is, or even what century he's in. Being a liberal must be great, you can just dial yourself to anywhere and any time. This explains Beverly's and Feisty's being angry all the time. They never know where they are. That or their heads are too far up Hussein's ass. Fart Obama!!! Wake the jerks up!!
Both conventions are merely propaganda tools. This election will be decided by the debates. You know the CEO (or so he would have you believe) vs the CIC. (the guy who has to make the tough calls when American lives are at stake). Remember the last "businessman" we had as CIC had a MBA from HAAAVAAD! Didn't work out to well for America now did it!
So we got the glorified pawnbroker who buys and sells companies vs. the community organizer.
Riddle me this connies: If your so sold on a businessman running the country then name the members of YOUR current leadership in Congress that have ever run a company or small business. You know McConnell, Cantor, Boehner..Come on now you can do it. And your bonus question: How does running a business equate to running the country. Just askin?
Blame Bush chorus in 3-2-1.
Hey Feisty, what do you have against women? I mean honorable women?
Who is Rafalca.
Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL
no, if Rafalca could talk, she would say get me the f*ck outta here
however Bayllie, if Rafalca could talk would she have a Frenchy accent too?
What's an 'honorable woman'? One that is subservient to her husband like the Bible says she should be?
Annie's dancing horse the Romney's wrote off $77K as a tax loss for last year as a medical expense! lmao
Bayllie,
The very least the RNC could do, is give Rafalca a "fancy pageant walking" spot since they kicked Bible Spice to the curb this year! ;o)
I noticed that over the past weekend there was a poster that identified Feisty as an obama campaign worker named Jen. Boy did people snap up at attention on that one. It was funny to watch all who came to the aid of the queen when if it wasn't true, then why bother. Hmmmm.
Torpedo - I settle for a CPA or a Bankruptcy Trustee running the country at this point.
Torpedo - what responsibility did Reid and Pelosi have in the '08 meltdown? If none, and it was all Bush, then the president has the power and this is all Obama, right?

From the article above:
A fitting tribute for the Texas congressman..... from Pittsburgh.
Courtesy of Wikipedia:
And after cake and punch is served, the hateful, relentless bashing of President Obama will continue.
I'm calling this the "Tampa Temper-Tantrum".
Salud.
Speaking of the Olympics, I saw a quote on an earlier post attributed to Romney that I couldn't believe. I 'Googled" it, went to the website below, and watched a video of the opening ceremonies of the 2002 Winter Olympics where Mitt Romney actually said:
I am amazed at the depths of his hypocrisy.....how could anyone argue that this is any different than what President Obama said!
Paul Ryan - The Deficit? I Built That!
Mitt Romney - "Big business is doing fine..."
The Tampa Temper Tantrum, Ha that's good Tomas, look at this blog today there is nothing on here about how good Romney is not one post, just about how bad Obama is. The desperation on the part of republicans is palpable, they are even going back to then birther nonsense. Romney as a candidate has got nothing, nothing to sell other than he is not Obama, but that is not enough. In the end this is why Obama will be re-elected, they have hammered on him constantly for three and a half years and spent a billion dollars on negative adds and Romney still trails. They have said everything they can possibly say over and over and over, to the point of it now just comes off as rabid republican blather. The boy calling wolf, over and over again nobody but the republican base even hears it anymore, and the great news is you cannot win a general presidential election with just the republican base. The Romney campaign, the RNC, and republicans in general are dazed and confused.
Ron Paul is the 'turd' in the punch bowl.
Ron Paul is the crotchety old uncle who no one wants to invite for Thanksgiving.
Ron Paul is the Nation's best whiner at least as of today.

Who needs that sort of man in office?

Is this supposed to appease all of the Ron Paul supporters who got shut out of GOP Conventions this year?
Yes.
F the establishment Repukeulans.
See ya, Ron. Don't let the door smack yer whiny little bony hiney on the way out...
They think it will Da Noid sadly they are mistaken. We've worked very hard to get to this point.

It's not nice to mess with Mother Nature.
So Amy, I was wondering if you could work that statement into a sentence about abortion?
You know, since that's your all's central theme these days.
Spanky - you can't stay on topic at all, can you? What next - want to discuss militia in Montana????
Amy - still wish it would rain cats and dogs - just seems appropriate!
Feisty - I can't think they would be so dumb as to rearrange things so Queen Annie gets to talk on prime time. Whenever she speaks she comes across as condescending and arrogant - not what they need right now. But, it would be fun to see her make the usual idiot of herself!
Obama/Biden 2012
@SS...It's the TeaPeople way!...Spanky is true to form. Don't like the subject at hand, try to change it!
Spanky: It is the Republican Party which approved a provision for their platform to ban abortion in ALL cases.
It is the Republican members of Congress that have attempted many times in the last two years to ban abortions and put in "personhood" amendments to the constitution.
It is the Republican party which is more interested in Transvaginal Ultra-sounds than in creating one single jobs bill.
Now which party is brain dead on anything other than a woman's womb ?
ZOMBIES for Romney/Ryan 2012 !!!!
Got it - 2012 - the year of the woman's womb.
Well, at least we have narrowed and specified the issue.
Plus you all got Billy Clinton as a speaker. Now there is a dude who loves him some wombs.
Say, did that cigar have a contraceptive device on it when it was inserted?
Spanky - you are a disgusting pathetic little man. Do you actually have a wife or did she get smart and leave?
Got the best wife in the world.
Gonna be 20 years in December.
Thanks for asking.
The blow up doll you got at graduation doesn't count as a wife.
I think Isaac has a large probe in store for this big ol' TeaGaggle...
just get that monkey out of the white house
DaNoid,
Will the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sing before or after the tribute to the libertarian Ron Paul ?
Relevance?
Or you just baggin' on mormons cause it's easy?
How very tolerate of you Northstar.
While I'm not a religious zealot, I would certainly tune in if the Mormon Tabernacle Choir were to sing.
An incredible ensemble in my opinion.
If I'm going to watch the three ring circus that will be the GOP convention, I might as well also get some incredible singing to listen to between all the laughs that Romney/Ryan are sure to bring.
At least the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sings better than Mr. Romney.
A cat in heat sings better than Willard...
spanky,
It Friday, I have the day off, how about you?
I not "braggin" and certainly a tolerate person.
I read the leadin:
"Other features of the convention include plans to feature fellow members of Romney's Mormon church,"
The choir is world famous, and I think it would be a hoot to have them sing before the Paul film.
I think Paul's videos have lots of loud rock soundtracks...
Are you going to watch all the festivities on CSpan for your new guy ?
Feisty - I thought that WAS a cat in heat when Romney sang!
Seeking,
All I know is, when I listen to him, my ears bleed! ☺
Sorry Northstar, I misread/understood.
Lots of religious bigotry/ magic underwear comments around here these days.
I am a hard core athiest, but I know a lot of Mormons. Hard workers and good people by and large.
Besides, who wouldn't want magic underwear?
But for me, it's not the underwear, but what's inside that makes it magic. At least that's what I try to 'splain to Ms. Spanky. :)
Happy Friday.
Spanky -
In a show of bipartisan support, Republicans and Democrats alike have no interest in whatever is in your underwear.
Democrats don't care, and Republicans are only concerned with regulating what is in WOMEN"S underwear....
Feisty - there is a difference between a Cat in heat and Mittens trying to sing in public. the Cat has enough brains to know better than to sing in public.
As a life long musician myself, I have to believe that Mittens singing in public will cause him to lose the musician vote.
Why did the GOP nominate such a complete tool? You would think they would have learned from their mistake in 2000. At least the retarded one had a personality that a few people could like. Not even the Republicans actually like this tool.
Yes do show off Ron Paul the freedom guy who has also signed the person-hood pledge to get rid of Roe v Wade.
The republican party all for freedom and individual rights only if you are a man.
I find it hard to believe that any woman is stupid enough to vote for any republican to make herself into a second class citizen with the government in charge of her body just like in China.
And to think they gloat about Rand Paul being a doctor, the one thing they never want to mention or discuss? He is not a board certified physician, I guess some people don't care who operates on their eyes, but for me and my sight (as well as the rest of my body parts), I would never let a "doc in the box" perform surgery on me.
Union Baby - do you have any idea what being board certified means?
Let me go ahead an answer that - you clearly do not.
Do me a solid - call your your doctor and ask if he/she is board certified, and if so, in what specialty.
Union Baby, try not to make such blatantly silly statements about subjects you know nothing about.
Or at least look up what board certification means [and does not mean].
The Dems want to focus on abortion, including at their Convention? Based on one Senatorial candidate in Missouri?
Good luck with that....shades of the Paul Wellstone funeral...liberals gone wild!
Enjoy your moonbat festival...voters care about the economy....
Yeah, the liberals want to focus on abortion, that's why they make GOP members like Akin say what they did.
Bob dear,
Facts:1. The GOP platform includes a constitional amemendment against abortion for any woman including rape and incest.
2. Ryan cosponsored with Akin a a bill against providing abortion for any"forcible" rape.
3. In October 2011, Romney meet privately with the stupid doctor that Akins quoted about women. Romney thanked him for his support .
Futher more:
I stood outside the auditorium the day of Senator and Mrs Wellstone memorial service.
The speaker who got carried away was a close personal friend of the Wellstones.
Their deaths along with a young campaign worker was a huge tradgedy. Grief takes all kinds of forms.
Union Baby - my guess is you KNOW that a board certified physician has passed the examination given by a medical specialty group that makes them specialists in a specific area - such as Oncology; Ophthalmology, etc. Don't know why Spanky thinks he is the only one who knows anything!
The question is, Spankers, do you know what it means?
Dr. Rand Paul became a certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology in 1995. While being board certified is not required to practice medicine, if you want to do things like participate with an HMO or see a patient in a hospital you should be board certified.
To be board certified, you have to have gone through an accredited residency or fellowship program in a given field. Once you have practiced for a certain amount of time in the field, you are tested (usually both a written and an oral exam). If you pass, you are board certified.
Now, the American Board of Ophthalmology is part of a larger organization called the American Board of Medical Specialties. Starting back in the '80s, the ABMS member boards decided that it was necessary to ensure that physicians were keeping up on latest procedures and diagnoses so they made a requirement that physicians become recertified every few years (in the case of the American Board of Ophthalmology, 10 years).
The thing is, Dr. Paul didn't like those rules. So, he went out and formed his own board, the National Board of Ophthalmology. He then let his American Board of Ophthalmology certification expire.
Now, this may not matter as Dr. Paul may at best be running a limited practice since he was elected to the Senate, but if he were to leave Congress and go back to being just "Dr. Paul", unless he goes back and regains his American Board of Ophthalmology certificate, he does not, in the opinion of HMOs and hospitals, get to call himself "board certified" as they will not recognize his own, self-generated certification.
(a lot of this stuff is public information)
I sure do Noid. Over the last 20 years I have deposed and defended 100's of doctors. Many were board certified [ I only retain board certified docs as experts] and many of whom were not.
The point being that Union has no idea, but is out with the hate.
Say what you will about Paul, but he's a smart guy.
Spanky you know you hit a nerve with the mean girls club when Seeking has to start answering and responding for Union.
vote the jackass out
I really don't see Ron Paul supporters actively supporting another candidate. This speaking spot may keep Dr. Paul from running as an independent but even at that many of his folks will either write him in or just not vote.
My brother is a Ron Paul supporter, and will write Paul in. Hard to see how you can be a Libertarian and support Mitt Romney or Paul Ryan (who called Romney's plan for outlawing abortion, except in cases of incest, rape or for the health of the mother "a step in the right direction.")
What kind of Libertarian approves of forcing a raped woman to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term?
Sure Amy - they will all just vote for Obama. Cause he is Dreamy and all.
That would be Ron Paul. Ron Paul signed the person-hood pledge to make all abortions even in incest and rape illegal just to make women into second class citizens. Of course most Ron Paul supporters don't seem to know that fact.
When men become in charge of women's bodies, just how long do you think they will continue to let us vote?
VOTE FOR WOMEN'S FREEDOM...VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT 2012
Amy,
You are right.
The true libertarians will write in Ron Paul or vote for Gary Johnson , the candidate of the Libertarian Party.
I am sure all the children who's lives who have been spared will think and vote differently when they are of age. Dr. Paul has firm principles on not allowing another to take another ones life. The ONLY peace candidate we have had.
BTW I have different views than Ron Paul on these views but he is still 1000000000000000000000000000000x^999999999999999 better than Romney or Obama who are already bought out by Goldman Sachs (AKA The FED).
LOL @ AMERICANS First: the person hood pledge just keeps the Feds out of the state issue of abortion. States decide penalties (or lack thereof) for rape, murder, assault, robbery, etc. Abortion couldn't be handled by the state? It's amazing how pro-life Ron Paul: he is anti-war, doesn't believe in the death penalty but will leave it up to the states (end it at the fed level), and the same with abortion - leave it to the states. I guess Obama is all around anti-life? Also, you know some of those abortions kill off viable baby girls, so I guess your anti-women yourself. Oh and learn history about roe v wade. It was all about Texas and how Texas would only allow abortions for – ready for this – rape, incest, and the life of the mother is threatened. Yup apparently roe v wade was unnecessary.
Feel a little foolish and uninformed now Amy?
Feel a little foolish and uninformed now Amy?
No. Romney/Ryan aren't for "leaving it up to the states." They are in favor of outlawing abortion, regardless of the circumstances under which a woman finds herself. Romney has kow towed to "except for rape, incest or he health of the mother," for the sake of politics. Ryan calls that "a step in the right direction." In other words, the correct destination is a complete ban.
Jay if the person-hood bill was about states rights, please explain to me why did Ryan and Akins bring it to the house floor and voted on it with all republican support to deny all the women in the United States the right to make decisions about her own body?
Just like Romney you will say anything convient at the time to make your lying point.
VOTE FOR EDUCATION...VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT 2012
Erm this was about Ron Paul not Romney or Ryan. In case you missed it.
NO ONE said anything about Romney or Ryan. Therefore let's go back to what Ben said
You just proved Ben's case.
Pay "tribute." Yeah, right. The usual Republican attempt at a pay-off to go away; but, Mitt, most Libertarians won't be bought... better hope Ron doesn't totally man-up and speak his mind, you won't recover from the piercing truths.
Ron Paul will take it like a good little republican and slink off into the night again just like he did last time.
I've always liked his stance on monetary/fiscal issues. I think he'd make a great replacement for "Turbo-Tax" Timmy.
A slimey slithering snake would be a better replacement for Geithner.
In what form; that of an uplifted middle finger? They don't follow Ron Paul's lead on anything and think he's a a freak.
The GOP is so freaken phony. What a bunch of liars.
Ron Paul is about the only Republican I do find common ground with on some issues. And he is more a Libertarian which is why.
Making women into second class citizens is not libertarian. Ron Paul is the pretend libertarian who only cares about men and their freedom and not women. As if freedom is for men only.
VOTE FOR WOMEN'S RIGHTS....VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT 2012
Want to kill all persians - VOTE OBAMA 2012
Oh, make no mistake, I don't find Ron Paul any hero of mine. I'd still even vote for Obama over him, well maybe. :D But he's the closest thing in that party of freaks.
AF repeating yourself over and over will never make it true sorry.
Here educate yourself.
http://www.issues2000.org/2012/Ron_Paul_Abortion.htm
In fact educate yourself a lot
http://www.issues2000.org/Ron_Paul.htm
I'm going to throw this out there since you probably won't click the links I provided you
BTW AF saying the things you do will NEVER bring us over to "your side" all you do is piss us off and alienate us more.
We can always count on Hoosier daddy and Fiesty for their pleasant comments on politics. They're such a breath of fresh air, first thing every morning. Gee whiz, wouldn't it be nice if everybody could write positive/progressive/pro-active solutions for a troubling country. Perhaps they can share their solutions for a balanced budget. Or perhaps a plan to reduce the national debt (which BTW is increasing $4M/minute). Please enlighten us with your wisdom and knowledge. We'd be most interested in knowing how this country can be saved.
The GOP convention in Tampa will be historic for being the first open-air convention in the USA. When the roof comes off.
You know what they say, the roof first has to fall before you can raise it.
I think most Libertarians would rather see Romney win than another 4 years of Obama. This country is going in the hole 4 billion $'s a day. Obamas plan to tax the wealthy will pay for roughly 5 weeks of this deficit spending meaning we will still be in the hole for 47 weeks of the year. Does anyone really think that Obamas taxes on the wealthy will go toward the debt/deficit?. No..all we hear is that the republicans and tea party hate women and gays and the elderly and the poor and baby animals and the environment. We all want a healthy environment for future generations. Why not a healthy financial environment as well. Lets not put a huge burden on our kids and grandkids for the mounting debt we have racked up. Bread eaten is soon forgotten.
Then explain to me how Romney's plan of massive tax cuts will decrease the deficit.
No, most Libertarians like myself think we are screwed either way. We know that the left and right are controlled by the same people and that the two parties only exist to keep people separated so it is easier to control us. Together we stand divided we fall!!!!!
You got that right. Obamney 2012 the elitist choice for president.
I don't think Ron Paul's people will vote for Romney or Obama. We don't see any real difference. A video tribute(a way to keep him from speaking his mind at the time) to Ron Paul is not a speaking slot and I think RP supporters know the difference.
taxing the wealthy will only pay for obamass family vacations
Romney, of course, is a control freak and these conventions nowadays tend to be thoroughly scripted, BUT this year's GOP convention will have a lot of loose cannons roaming the floor. That's one reason why the GOP has scheduled the actual vote for the first day of the convention--to get the Romney candidacy set. But who knows what the Ron Paul people might be planning in the backrooms and shadows. And then, there's Isaac, set to hit Tampa Monday morning. Not what the Romney folks want, a delay in the vote.
Who?
I woud rather have Romney who is on top of things rather then Obama who says...let congress work it out. It takes hand on/skins in the game management to get things done. Taking ownership of the country's problems means taking control and accountability for the current situation and all you may have inherited. Not once have i heard Obama say....I own the problem and don't care who's fault it is. We just need to fix the problems that we were elected to solve. All he knows is...it is Bushes fault.
Unfortunately most of it falls on deaf ears. They can't stop blaming Bush to see that Obama has had almost 4 years to to try to help the country and all he has done is screw it up. They need to get the wax out of their ears, smoke out of their eyes, and the teat out of their mouth. Obama sucks!
Hanko,
Where have you been?
Grover Norquist who holds every GOP in Congress to their pledge of now new taxes said:
We only need a president who has a hand to sign all our bills into law, nothing more....
Romney won't even take responsibility for releasing his tax returns to prove he is the kind of businessman he claims to be.
Then Ryan would have you believe that his staff went behind his back and wrote and asked for stimulus money against his wishes. Yes republicans taking full responsibility just like you wanted.
If bush was so successful you tell me how we went from a surplus paying down our debt and low unemployment to in just 8 years of bush to the recession, bleeding millions of jobs and the largest deficit in our history?
I think it is Ryan's fault, he voted for every policy that has brought America to her knees. Ryan even voted for the military cuts he is now trying to blame on anyone else.
Just when are the republicans going to take responsibility for what they have done to our country?
He's tried relentlessly to take ownership and get things back to normal but the republicans can't have that...
Hey hanko- you do realize that it is Congress's job to produce a budget and propose jobs bills, right?
Obama would have gotten alot more done without a congress and minority senate that wasn't obstructing everything he proposed, even when it was originally a Republican idea ( Mandate, Cap and Trade). the Republican politicians should be ashamed of themselves for putting the good of the Republican Party ahead of the people who elected them to office.
the democrats were in charge the first two years, spending money remeber
Oh thank you Republican convention for giving Ron Paul a tribute, then I bet you hope he goes away or dies. The Libertarian platform now is much closer to what the Republican plantform used to be. But the Republicans now love entitlements, pay it with debt spending, and the banksters.
Anyways I will be writing in Ron Paul.
End the Fed. Bernanke to the gulags.
They are scared their screwed up, disorganized, fear mongering message might get less coverage than the Ron Paul factor.
Xabre...This is really a spending issue, not a tax issue. Gov't waste and duplicity is driving the debt...not a lack of taxes. Reagan proved that tax cuts drive the economy, but real tax reform is needed. I am all for cutting off tax subsidies for many businesses who don't need it. I really like Obamas plan for tax reform. Oh wait...he doesn't have one...just raise taxes.
Reagan proved tax cuts also drive the deficit. Just look at the debt after Reaganomics was instituted. Surplus or Deficit = Revenue (taxes) - Spending. You cut your revenue and the deficit will increase. Romney is proposing over $600B more tax cuts, but only $300B in spending cuts. Using simple math, tell me what that does to the current deficit.
Actually, it is corporate welfare, global welfare, and the WAR that is causing the dramatic rise in debt. Helping our own is NOT the problem. Romney has no plan but to give himself and his buddies tax breaks while the remaining remnants of a wroking class, get to foot the rest. Nice try Hanko!
Hanko said:
Yeah, that is why after he cut taxes his first year, he then raised taxes 11 times during his administration
What he found out was tax cuts do not create jobs, does not lower the debt and creates deficits. Reagan increased the national debt 189% in 8 years.
Ron Paul is the only true candidate to run this country. He believes in the same America that the forefathers gave us. He is not money hungry or greedy. He does not care for power. He just wants this country back on track. He does not want politicians changing our basic rights. The Constitution is one of the best in this world. But people want to get rid of it because it stands in their way, when they want to crush the citizens rights. George
Bush and Obama both tried to dismantle it. Plus Bush said, "the Geneva Convention is out of date." America drew up the Geneva Convention document. It is a blue print on how wars are to be conducted. How to treat others who are captured. And that all humans have the same basic right to be treated fairly.
Ron Paul believes in 18th century solutions to 21st century problems.
And Ron Paul predicted the housing bubble and the financial collapse back in 2002. Let's face it - your liberal solutions suck. They can't even predict their own fu** ups.
He also wants to go back to the gold standard, where there isn't enough gold in the entire world to back the size of the US economy. He also thinks the Interstate Highway System is unconstitutional. He also wants to abolish the FDA, because as a doctor he has seen that agency has done absolutely no good whatsoever.
Face it, the dude's a looney toon.
I also predicted the financial collapse does that make me presidential material? I moved my 401K money and was the only person in the office that didn't lose half my retirement savings.
Ron Paul signed the person-hood pledge to take rights away from women. Paul like the rest of the republicans think women are too stupid to decide about her own body, we need men like Paul to tell us what to do.
When I bought my house in 1991, I went with a small local bank who still holds my loan. Even in my small town I have heard nightmare stories about the local Bank of America who can't seem to find the paperwork on their homes.
Liberals are hard working, American loving people who just are not as stingy and greedy and hateful as their republican counterparts.
Ron Paul still alive? His wife doesn't buy green bananas at the grocery store anymore.
GOP = Goodbye Old Pharts
Why are green bananas too expensive?
@bobs ur uncle: I’m surprised he's alive since Obama has know issue assassinating American citizens without trial. Yeah you support a real winner there bob.
Proof Jay? Assassinating an American citizen would break the law, don't you think that would have caught the attention of some journalists?
Now the republicans are defending the terrorist. Just like rape is rape, a terrorist is a terrorist no matter what country they are from.
If an American is in another country fighting and leading terrorist is he a terrorist first or an American?
Why would the republicans be defending American traitor terrorist? You as an American can go anywhere in the world fight against and kill Americans and the republicans will defend you. Right, Jay?
To be honest, I have seen changes in Paul's platform that begin to look an aweful lot like that of the republican party. It is not to hard to think that the Retardlican Party uses Paul as a means to distract the voters early on to ensure that the intended candidate is chosen in the end. I was a supporter of Paul, but saw some flip flopping on his website this year. I am afraid he nothing more than a ruse to distract and that is why the teabaggers are "paying tribute."
Like all of the hype on this site, the people are being distracted from what is going on. These issues that are pure politics, such as abortion, gay marriage, voter ID amendments, taxes, are all just small potatoes in the big picture. A people that are polarized are easy to manipulate and and then control through the things that are getting done. There have been many bills enacted since Bush, and now Obama, that are designed to restrict freedom and ultimately create a dictatorship for the NAU. Think about it. While we are bickering over small crap, we have seen Bush sign us into the same type of Pact that led to the European Union without consent by Congress. Then, due to a false flag attack and a never ending war with a never ending "enemy," we saw the Constitution become null and void with the Homeland Security Act and Patriot Act. These things have set up for Obama. Obama takes office and the country is battling over health care reform that IS the republican bill in it's entirety, except the part the Corporate party does not want such as anything that makes big insurance have to pay out money. However, the NDAA is signed which houses a small portion that allows the President to assume dictatorial powers and to declare war on the shores of the U.S. initiating martial Law! This is what is happenig while you all bicker over little tiny crap. This is how evil men win!
So, a true American Patriot would be appalled to hear that our legislators are trying to repeal the 17th amendment that creates a slippery slope to loss of voting rights in America. Thier reasoning? We are just plain too stupid to vote right. Anyone actually listening? A true Patriot would be sickened by those with more than enough whining and crying that they have to pay a fair and equal PERCENTAGE of tax. It is completely IMMORAL for people with enough to bitch about it not being enough, while a huge number of us are trying to make ends meet. A true Patriot would be apalled by the amount of money being borrowed to fight a war that has proven no evidence to justify this continued war on our credit cards. A true Patriot would be upset that our leaders and the Reds want to starve our own people while saying nothing about the much higher number of dollars being given to corporate and global welfare! There is no way to sugar coat this! It is just plain wrong for people with too much already, to complain to us trying to make it, that they simply want more.
Romney has been putting China to work for years now! A true Patriot would see that our Military, our politics, and our industry have combined to be our government! This is the definition of fascism! This is what the Nazi regime looked like! A true Patriot would be sickened by the events that have unfolded and disgusted by whiny ass rich people trying to take more for themselves. And, some even go as far as touting the Christian faith and how they are Christian. This is even more loathsome as it is blatant BLASPHEMY to claim such when what you tout is immoral. America does not have many true Patriots left. Globalism has destroyed our ecnomy along with the take over of corporations. Our supreme court is a joke, congress is null and void, and America is one false flag attack from martial law and despot control.
The little stuff we are arguing over simply allows these Eugenisists to continue to enact bills, create wars, move our jobs overseas, and instill martil law and control over the masses once you all wake up and realize what has happened. Be Patriots this year! Vote for the independents or write people in. It is when, and only when, we remove the problems from our government that America can become strong again. It is when we clear our houses and senates and whitehouses from the reds and blues. It is when we remove these justices who are bought and pad for. It is when we become Americans again, those with backbone, courage, and the demand for freedom and liberty that we shall ever experience prospertiy again. Until then, we will contineu to be polarized and the elite will continue to destroy us from within. Obama is a pawn. Romney is a pawn. Paul is a pawn. They come and go, but the evil that has ruined us stays there. We can defeat the enemy within! We can stand together and understand what morality is, be disgusted by immoral ideals, and defend ourselves from the tyranny we are witnessing. The last days of America are before us. This is the time to vote for anyone but a red or blue! Anyone is better than what we have been doing for 200 years now!
@Americans First - that's not saying much. Ron actually endorses the morning after pill plus he has advised any woman who is raped to go see their doctor and receive a shot of estrogen ASAP. Also, why shouldn't a unborn baby be considered a person? Yeah I hear the old argument that God is the biggest abortionist on the planet due to miscarriages, but I mean we all die don't we? If an abortionist can go around doing "Gods work" and kill babies that could survive outside the womb why can't I go around and kill people - we all die sometime right? Oh, and if Ron Paul is against women then I guess Obama is against Persians of all genders since, you know, he has no problem when his drones kill off Persian women and children in the ME. Ron is soooo much more evil than Obama *sarc*
You tell me, if a egg can't live outside the mothers body then how is it a person.
After the republicans pass the person-hood bill, the morning after pill would be illegal.
Why would women become second class citizens for anybody? Putting the government in charge of your body is a slippery slope. If the government can make you carry a child against your will, just how is that freedom? China's government is in charge of women's bodies and make them have abortions. Would you call that freedom too?
Do you really feel safe with government in charge of your body instead of yourself? What kind of wimpy woman needs a man to tell her what to do with her body?
At least the democrats give me credit for having enough brains to decide about my own body. Whereas the republicans think women are so stupid they need a ultra-sound to find out they are pregnant when they come in for an abortion as if she didn't know already.
If women are not smart enough to decide about her own body, how long do you think the republicans will continue to let us stupid women vote?
VOTE FOR WOMEN'S FREEDOM...VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT 2012
What we have here is a failure to communicate.Sadly lost in the afterwake real Americans are being left out to bleed like slaughtered cattle.The owners of the country love it as the dumbed down dillusional Democrats battle the self righteous repulsively rigged Republicans they continue stealing everything. Ron Paul is still a force to be reckoned with. Dr Paul's message even in silence speaks volumes because it is truth. In the end truth shall prevail and real patriots will reclaim this land and give it back to the real owners the people and evict the traitors!
Too bad that Ron Paul also signed the person-hood pledge to make women into second class citizens. Looks like Ron only believes in freedom and individual choice if you are a man.
Sounds like the Ron Paul followers are the ones who are the dumbed down delusional libertarians. A true libertarian would be for a woman being in charge of her own body not the government.
VOTE FOR WOMEN'S EQUAL RIGHTS....VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT 2012
I too like Ron Paul's economics policies ,but do disagree with his foreign policy and stance on legalizing hard drugs.
Histroy shows that prohibition works, lol!
By a tribute....does that mean they are going to put on white sheets and burn a cross?
Well if it was a tribute to Obama they'd probably pile up all the dead persian children his drone strikes have killed then pi$$ on their bodies....
Jay- This is not Obama's war man. You just get off the boat a couple years ago? Pretty sure that Shock and Awe had a few civilian casualties! As long as we the people allow for this bogus war, or any foriegn war for that fact, then civilians are going to be collateral damages. It is atrocious, but not really an issue to keep emphasizing. Many still believe we are fighting a real and tangible enemy and threat. Obviously, by no other attacks on our shores, which houses an aweful lot of ISlamists, it is quite apparent that we were duped into this imperialization by the Bush Family and Cronies!
Jay - your total ignorance is showing. According to you they should pile up all the dead men, women and children from Iraq and Afghanistan and put them in the RNC convention tent since the wars there were George Bush's - for this ego and for big oil!
Obama/Biden 2012
Jay....do you suffer from TCA ....typical conservative amnesia?
@ avoid: Umm how is it not Obama's war? Are you not making an excuse to vote for BushBama? Obama with the stroke of the pen could bring all the troops home, which Ron Paul said he would do. I guess all that military industrial complex money is weighing on Obama's conscience. Sorry pal – Obama has blood on his hands. He’s lied to you libs about his foreign policy in 2008. He replaced troops in Iraq to only hire more and more contractors. He’s expanded our drone war to Libya and soon we’ll be attacking Syria. And make no mistake Obama will get off on attacking Iran. Stop making excuses for this guy.
Make that TCL....typical conservative logic......which obviously does not exist if we take your last comment at face value. One does not stop a war (aka bushs' folly)with the stroke of a pen....
@sbstarlite - what's your excuse: it's okay for Obama to kill innocent persians since he's not GW? Yeah, thats a Obama lover for you.
If that is the case.....why didn't your hero g.w. get out his pen and stop the war he created even after admitting it was based on faulty information? That's a non logical bush lover for you
Not a lib here brother! I am the real deal. It is Bush's War. Obama was not in office when this began, and no, Ron Paul would not bring our troops home! No president will. Congress could bring them home. We could have never entered this fake war to begin with. All presidents have blood on their hands as each sells their souls to the devil for power! Paul is a Republican now, true and red like his brothers. Read my post if you want to know who I am. Don't act like I am a lib. Both of you disgust me.
