Obama's laugh in that video alone is reason enough to hate him. The president is supposed to be humble, not a self absorbed jackass. The president's number one duty is the country's people. It's one thing to not agree, but it shows how much of a loser you are to mock them.

Really go ahead and copy and paste a bunch of stuff but be sure to review each one, one by one. Anyway your right that cartoon is wrong but only because it shows the congress guy as a PIG but your just assuming this means earmarks.....but anyway..Paul's earmarks are not bad..and they aren't contrary to what he believes...and they also prove he does good on a human level..thats the truth of the matter. A lot of it is also for disaster relief...Ron Paul represents his people and its nothing to be ashmed of...It really sorta collapses your whole theory that Ron Paul won't take care of people.



FOX Neil Cavuto said:
Paul, a fiscal watchdog who said he voted against the bill because he believes federal spending is out of control, acknowledged that $73 million in the bill passed by his colleagues "might be" going to his district on Texas' Gulf Coast for things like the intra-coastal waterway, the Texas City channel and Wallisville Lake. But he was fine with that, noting that he always votes for tax credits, not matter how "silly," to return money to the constituents who sent their tax dollars to Washington.

The principle of the earmark is our responsibility. We're supposed to — it's like a — a tax credit. And I vote for all tax credits, no matter how silly they might seem. If I can give you any of you of your money back, I vote for it. So, if I can give my district any money back, I encourage that. But, because the budget is out of control, I haven't voted for an appropriation in years — if ever. ...

I don't think the federal government should be doing it. But, if they're going to allot the money, I have a responsibility to represent my people. If they say, hey, look, put in a highway for the district, I put it in. I put in all their requests, because I'm their representative.

You know what it is contrary to. Its contrary of your belief that Ron Paul or Libertarians can't be practical...Its contrary to your whole theory that Idealism can't possibly work!

Good fucking game

my "theory" was not that ron paul won't take care of people, my ASSERTION was that he is a king of pork (even though he votes against it out of "principle").

it seems like you have come to your senses. nice spin.

The foundation of your whole argument against libertarians or rather the entire bleeding hearts argument is that libertarians can't be practical and that Idealism doesn't work. We won't have roads or something and some doomsday scenario will play out....Its really the argument against anarchism but its used against libertarians.

So what we have here with your attempted smear causes your whole argument to self-implode and collapse on itself. Tangible evidence that Idealism can be practical and work.

Bob Marley Lyrics said:
Them crazy, them crazy -
We gonna chase those crazy
Baldheads out of town;
Chase those crazy baldheads
Out of our town.

I'n'I build a cabin;
I'n'I plant the corn;
Didn't my people before me
Slave for this country?
Now you look me with that scorn,
Then you eat up all my corn.

We gonna chase those crazy -
Chase them crazy -
Chase those crazy baldheads out of town!

/Scat singing/

Build your penitentiary, we build your schools,
Brainwash education to make us the fools.
Hate is your reward for our love,
Telling us of your God above.

We gonna chase those crazy -
Chase those crazy bunkheads -
Chase those crazy baldheads out of the town!

/Instrumental break/

We gonna chase those crazy -
Chase those crazy bunkheads -
Chase those crazy baldheads out of the town!

Here comes the conman
Coming with his con plan.
We won't take no bribe;
We've got [to] stay alive.

We gonna chase those crazy -
Chase those crazy baldheads -
Chase those crazy baldheads out of the town.

Ya running and ya running
And ya running away.
Ya running and ya running
And ya running away.
Ya running and ya running
And ya running away.
Ya running and ya running,
But ya can't run away from yourself
Can't run away from yourself -
Can't run away from yourself -
Can't run away from yourself -
Can't run away from yourself -
Can't run away from yourself.

Ya must have done (must have done),
Somet'in' wrong (something wrong).
Said: ya must have done (must have done),
Wo! Somet'in' wrong (something wrong).
Why you can't find the
Place where you belong?
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do (running away);
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do (running away);
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do (running away);
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do (running away);
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do (running away).


Ya running and ya running
And ya running away.
Ya running and ya running
And ya running away.
Ya running and ya running
And ya running away.
Ya running and ya running
But ya can't run away from yourself.
Could ya run away from yourself?
Can you run away from yourself?
Can't run away from yourself!
Can't run away from yourself!
Yeah-eah-eah-eah - from yourself.

Brr - you must have done somet'in' -
Somet'in' - somet'in' - somet'in' -
Somet'in' ya don't want nobody to know about:
Ya must have, Lord - somet'in' wrong,
What ya must have done - ya must have done somet'in' wrong.
Why you can't find where you belong?

Well, well, well, well, ya running away, heh, no -
Ya running away, ooh, no, no, no,
I'm not (running away), no, don't say that - don't say that,
'Cause (running away) I'm not running away, ooh! (running away)
I've got to protect my life, (running away)
And I don't want to live with no strife. (running away)
It is better to live on the housetop (running away)
Than to live in a house full of confusion. (running away)
So, I made my decision and I left ya; (running away)
Now you comin' to tell me (running away)
That I'm runnin' away. (running away)
But it's not true, (running away)
I am not runnin' away. (running away) /fadeout/

I was split on his decision not to do the debate even though I agreed with his reasoning on it- but after seeing Trumps response I have zero respect for Trump what a trashy rude clown.

I already explained the "pork" projects, but I'll do it again.

You live in City "X", you pay taxes and expect to have a portion of those funds spent on things like road improvements and essential services. Your candidate doesn't request the money (pork) and your roads go unimpaired, your police / fire departments are having to cut back due to lack of funding. -OR- My candidate requests the funds, which are then spent to maintain the city of which the funds were originated. Yep that sounds terrible....

The thing is that crooked politicians request the funds, then spends them on projects that produces votes. There is a difference in what Ron Paul is doing and what other are; it's called not cheating the taxpayers and not being for sale. If more were like Ron Paul; Obama wouldn't of had the 535 million to blow on Solyndra.

Here I'll let Ron explain it himself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWTyHbGcUQY
