The strong and tough Democrats

The capitulation on FISA is as politically self-destructive as it is unconscionable on the merits.

And L.W.M

It would be political suicide for Dennis Kucinich to be in any way associated with this:

http://www.stormfront.org/forum/showthread.php/ron-paul-just-won-aug-409024.html

Just as it is for Ron Paul and why he will never be President. Ever. Not to mention suicide for this country. We've had enough Republicans from Texas for one century, thanks. No matter how much they pander and triangulate.

Ron Paul and Dennis K. both are never going to be president simply because America will never elect any anti-war president. We are empire.

You are being foolish to write off an antiwar candidate simple by his home state! Of course we all know your real reason --- you hate freedom.

re: Kitt - Bucky "hearts" Ron Paul

There is no Republican, other than Dr. Paul, that is even tolerable. If he were elected, there would be many, many Democrats and Independents in his administration. In fact a Ron Paul/Dennis Kucinich ticket would be one that would restore hope in my heart that my country has a chance to stop being the world's bully. Dennis K. on top of that ticket would work also.

Ron Paul is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Ron Paul is Lyndon LaRouche-lite

"A more important point, though, that's overlooked in all this is that Ron Paul has made a career out of transmitting extremist beliefs, particularly far-right conspiracy theories about a looming "New World Order," into the mainstream of public discourse by reframing and repackaging them for wider consumption, mostly by studiously avoiding the more noxious and often racist elements of those beliefs. Along the way, he has built a long record of appearing before and lending the credibility of his office to a whole array of truly noxious organizations, and has a loyal following built in no small part on members of those groups."

"His history is replete with far-right dalliances, and more importantly, many of his current positions are taken directly from the extremist right, and in fact embody the propagation of their longtime agenda. A look at his record makes clear how and why this is so."

"His propensity for right-wing extremism manifested itself fairly early in his career, even before he ran for president as a Libertarian. One of the earlier signs of this was his association with Gary North, the son-in-law of R.J. Rushdoony, the founder of Christian Reconstructionism and himself a leading figure in the movement. North served briefly on Paul's staff in the 1970s, but their association continued well beyond that."

And the conclusion:

"Ron Paul may or may not be a racist -- and arguing about it is likely to end up nowhere. But what is unmistakably, ineluctably true about Ron Paul is that he is an extremist: a conspiracy theorist, a fear-monger, and an outright nutcase when it comes to monetary, tax, and education policy. The more believers and sympathizers he gathers, the worse off the rest of us will be."

The fact that a certain someone would advocate Ron Paul based on the single-issue of being against all war, shows just what a kook he is himself. Add in his positioning of a Dennis Kucinich/Ron Paul ticket proves he's a fool and has no idea where Dennis Kucinich stands on the social issues closest to Kucinich's heart. DK wouldn't go near RP with a 10-foot pole. Their positions on nearly everything are miles apart.

Dennis Kucinich is a liberal who believes the government can actually help.

Ron Paul is a nut case extremist more in tune with the John Birch Society.

The magical mind of the cultist

Many expert political observers over the decades have always said that if you go far enough 'left'; you end up at the far 'right'.

Name one (besides Mona before she came to her senses).

Or as the wife says, "the difference in conservatives and liberals is who they want to kill".

Some here might like to thank "the wife" in advance if she ever decides to slip some arsenic into your tea.

Note: Bigot: –noun

a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion.

And your remarks about liberals and conservatives and collectivists are what?

LWM/KB4hire goes for slander this morning

... what else is new.

LWM/KB Ron Paul is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Ron Paul is Lyndon LaRouche-lite

You have yet to state a position of Ron Paul's that you disagree with and show how it is wrong. You have adopted the old USSR method --- the accusation is the proof.

Miss the USSR do you?

Kb4hire

Not sure why you addressed that at me. I have no care for Ron Paul. I just posted that talkingpoints video link because I, once again, got tired of bucky's bashing posts that so frequently include the word 'little'. So I tried to give him something to calm down with. Didn't work, though.

The magical mind of the LWM/KB4hire as cultist

B1`Many expert political observers over the decades have always said that if you go far enough 'left'; you end up at the far 'right'.

LWM/KB/Bigot: "Name one (besides Mona before she came to her senses)."

Are you 14? I can not believe that a man can read any politics and not have heard that old saying a thousand times. Compare Stalin and Hitler; Augusto Pinochet and Pol Pot; ...

B1: Or as the wife says, "the difference in conservatives and liberals is who they want to kill".

LWM/KB/Bigot: "Some here might like to thank "the wife" in advance if she ever decides to slip some arsenic into your tea."

You are just as she sees the Democrats --- always talking of murder. And that from one who will vote a straight Democratic ticket from top to bottom. As many have observed here in this very thread, hardly a dimes worth of difference in the parties.

Dictionary.com: Note: Bigot: –noun; a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion.

LWM/KB/Bigot: And your remarks about liberals and conservatives and collectivists are what?

Reasonable; while on the other hand you are a bigot. We have been through all that before. Your word's drip with bigotry; Most figure you are proud of it. Certainly William applauds it every chance he gets.
