Based on this meme , and the media's uncomfortable wriggling to avoid congratulating Ron Paul . They see me pollin', They hatin'.

The question was this: A seemingly healthy 30 year-old man decides to not buy health insurance because it is too expensive.  He ends up in a coma.  Should we let him die? Wolf Blitzer loaded the question as a man would load bullets into a gun.  It wasn't meant to get an honest response.  It was meant to make a tv spectacle, and to make Ron Paul look bad.  Just as the debate was not meant to be an honest debate, but a show, a spectacle to befuddle the masses into a stupor between election cycles. The scenario seems like a case of rampant, inhumane capitalism versus merciful government intervention.  Our debates are usually constructed in similar anti-capitalist  false dilemmas , because establishment Republicans and Democrats both hate capitalism, and want to give more power to the state. Start at 2:30. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Get More: Daily Show Full Episodes , Political Humor & Satire Blog , The Daily Show on Facebook The Republican audience cheered that he should die

Paul explained what happened , but my take on it is better: This is in reference to how many people Perry has executed . Perry signed an executive order to force STD vaccinations on 12 year old girls . Perry held a prayer rally before starting his presidential campaign.

There's a lot of talk about Ron Paul being racist (he's not).  The usually reasonable Matt Taibbi even throws in  with the rest of the name-callers on this one.  Well, I'm going to one-up all of you. I'd vote for Ron Paul even if he was racist. Maybe you're racist against old white Republicans. That's right.  If Ron Paul thought that blacks evolved from Mexicans, and Mexicans evolved from sriracha , I'd vote him into public office. Why? For the same reason gays should vote for Ron Paul. Ron Paul thinks marriage should be between a man and a woman.  But he also thinks that individuals should be free to make that decision for themselves. As president, he wouldn't try to inflict his moral views on others.   He would take government out of marriage, and allow marriage to be free (to accomplish this within the restrictions of the Constitution, he would have to allow each state to decide how it would comply with this freedom). So if Ron Paul was the most back

Obama's re-election hopes aren't looking solid.  It's possible that the next president will be a Republican.  If so, Rupert Murdoch will personally select who he wants it to be. This Saturday Ron Paul came within 152 votes of winning the Ames Straw Poll in Iowa.  Michelle Bachmann officially won, and has her face plastered everywhere alongside Romney and Perry, who didn't even participate in the straw poll.  Ron Paul got shafted . There is no Ron Paul.  Repeat: There is no Ron Paul. To put this in perspective, at the '07 Ames , Romney had over 4,500 votes, and the next closest came Huckabee, at 2,500.  This year Paul got 4,600 votes, more than Romney, who won, got last time. Ron Paul nearly won, but if you watched the news reports, you wouldn't even know he was there. Sarah Palin said of the poll : "They’ll cast that vote and if you can bus in enough people and can get enough people enthused enough about your candidacy, they will be there to vote for y

I voted for Obama in 2008.  I'll vote for Ron Paul in 2012. There was a time, in 2007, when I thought: Even if Obama doesn't win the election, I'd still be willing to give my time and money to whatever he decides to do next. I was convinced that he was our man.  I knew he was going to change the world.  I knew I wanted to change it with him. Then he became president.  The wars continued.  Guantanamo remained open.  The Patriot Act was renewed and not vetoed.  New wars started. I thought: Didn't we vote Bush out? Then I realized:  Even before Obama disillusioned me with his broken promises, his new wars, his abandonment of the Constitution, he had made me a Libertarian. You see, in 2007, when I decided that I would be willing to support him financially, and by volunteering my time—even if he didn't get elected—that's called freedom, or a free market. A year or two after I voted for him, I no longer wanted to support him.  I did not want to give him my money, or m

News Fail From Drudge Report (Edited by Double Birds) Several fails here. First: Geithner sucks at economics, which is bad since that's his job. Second: Most Americans aren't paying attention while Federal Reserve bankers screw us .  9 million are staring at tan boobs, while who knows how many are rolling on the floor and frothing at the mouth in anticipation of the rapture. Ron Paul correctly predicted  congress will create economic hard-times  back in 2008.  Win.

Awkward—When someone waves to you.  You wave back.  Then you realize they were waving to the person behind you. More awkward—When the person waving to you is a total dumbass .  And there's nobody behind you. A few weeks ago, Lindsay Lohan tweeted something anti-Federal Reserve ( it turned out to be a robot ).  I thought, cool, someone famous knows about the inflationary central bank.  At the same time, I don't want people to think her and Ron Paul mingle in the same circles . Ron Paul attracts all kinds, including some awkward endorsers I would rather you not know about . Along these lines, I'm kind of embarrassed that Mel Gibson was the first to introduce me to the idea of freedom.   Braveheart moved me, and made me wonder what freedom meant, and why some jerks took it away. With that in mind, here's another shout out to Ron Paul: Ron Paul does not endorse Mel Gibson's Jew-hating. (edited by Double Birds) I'm also totally embarrassed to admit that I want to

With another Jon Stewart push for Ron Paul: The other politicians laughed at Ron Paul in 2008. They won't laugh this time. And it ends with cowbells.  You can't ask for more than that.

"The word 'racism' gets thrown around like monkeys throwing sh** at the zoo." (Warning: may contain swear words and peanuts). At least one black guy supports Ron Paul.  It's probably more than support Mitt Romney .

What an idiot, he thinks we live in a dictatorship.  Doesn't he know this is Amerka? Listen to him stutter , as he says: "The last nail is being driven into the coffin of the American Republic. Yet, Congress remains in total denial as our liberties are rapidly fading before our eyes." "Characteristic of this epic event is the casual acceptance by the people and political leaders of the unitary presidency, which is equivalent to granting dictatorial powers to the President. Our Presidents can now, on their own: 1. Order assassinations, including American citizens, 2. Operate secret military tribunals, 3. Engage in torture, 4. Enforce indefinite imprisonment without due process, 5. Order searches and seizures without proper warrants, gutting the 4th Amendment, 6. Ignore the 60 day rule for reporting to the Congress the nature of any military operations as required by the War Power Resolution, 7. Continue the Patriot Act abuses without oversight, 8. Wage war at will, 9.

Obama, and and a half-dozen presidents before him, have told Israel what to do.  Michelle Bachman said the U.S. would be cursed if we "reject" Israel. Ron Paul's common-sense looks weird in contrast with the madness that surrounds him.

Fox News conservatives are afraid of Ron Paul. Republican wonk Chris Malagisi uses "democrat" as a slur against Ron Paul. The Southern Avenger slams neo-con Republicans (like Bush), and explains why Ron Paul is the bomb:

Michael Medved of The Daily Beast wrote that Ron Paul is an "addle-brained," "preposterous," "putrefying,""crackpot," "lunatic libertarian" "Mad Doctor,who proudly consorts with 9/11 Truthers and Holocaust-denying neo-Nazis," who also stammers. With an entire Madlibs book of epithets, it's not surprising that Medved left no room for journalistic integrity or critical thought. Why all the name calling? It appears Ron Paul thinks that adults are smart enough to decide for themselves whether or not to have consensual sex with prostitutes, and whether or not to take narcotics into their bodies. All of Ron Paul needs to be pixelated , because his opinion is so offensive to the status quo. Medved takes the fanatical extreme in opposing free choice.  The government, obviously, should rid the world of sin, so that adults are not tempted to make bad decisions.  They know better than us sinful ignoramuses. If that is the case,

Chuck Norris wants Ron Paul to be his right-hand man in the coming Chucktatorship. Bill Maher thinks Ron Paul makes sense. Doug Stanhope registered as a Republican so he could vote for Ron Paul in the primaries.  He compared it to coming out of the closet if you're not gay. Robin Koerne r thinks Paul transcends the left-right divide. Check out other supporters in the side-bar.  Recommend others to the list.

He also thinks our country shouldn't abandon the rule of law to catch one really bad man. What a weirdo.

Check out some of Ron Paul's other supporters on the side bar.

Country music plays in the background for some reason. Jon Stewart praises Ron Paul; offers advice.  A good summary for those of you who missed the debates.

By Matt Taibbi A merica has two national budgets, one official, one unofficial. The official budget is public record and hotly debated: Money comes in as taxes and goes out as jet fighters, DEA agents, wheat subsidies and Medicare, plus pensions and bennies for that great untamed socialist menace called a unionized public-sector workforce that Republicans are always complaining about. According to popular legend, we're broke and in so much debt that 40 years from now our granddaughters will still be hooking on weekends to pay the medical bills of this year's retirees from the IRS, the SEC and the Department of Energy. Most Americans know about that budget. What they don't know is that there is another budget of roughly equal heft, traditionally maintained in complete secrecy . After the financial crash of 2008, it grew to monstrous dimensions, as the government attempted to unfreeze the credit markets by handing out trillions to banks and hedge funds. And thanks to a whole
