Today’s Quote of the Day…

…is about the importance of the Ron Paul campaign:
“Paul’s candidacy is an indictment of the system, not an argument for who would best administer it.”
Props.

Political Opportunists Exploiting Missing and Exploited Children?

In my personal opinion, those who exploit children are amongst the lowest forms of life crawling upon the planet. Perhaps the second lowest form of life are those who exploit missing and exploited children for political gain. I’d like to tell you about three people who have run for office before and how they handled […]

Radical 5th Grade Terrorist Charged with Felony

This ten-year-old threat to the state was arrested with a steak knife. Allegedly, she brought it to school to cut her meat, but we know that she was probably on Osama bin Laden’s payroll. For some reason, police didn’t tase the student and she hasn’t been tortured by the CIA yet.
In addition to […]

Bad Quote of the Day

From Senator Sessions:
Some people in this chamber love the Constitution more than the love the safety of this nation.

More Sunshine in Alabama

Speaking of sunshine, Alabamians may be getting some sunshine from DC.  From Left in Alabama:
Light shining on the White House visitor logs, that is.  Especially regarding the visits of Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff:
He was a benefactor of the 1990s Republican effort to paint Washington lobbyists in Red State red. He dabbled in Alabama politics, helping […]

Another One Bites the Dust

Another politician is going down, perhaps for going down — and the target of his affections might have been Wonder Woman.
Actually, the woman’s name is Linda Carter, not Lynda Carter.  Although Lynda Carter’s birth name was actually Linda Carter.  The politician in question is Kansas Attorney Paul Morrison.  Here’s the scoop from the Kansas City […]

A Tale of Two Wall Street Journal Articles

Peggy Noonan used the pages of the WSJ to attack Huckabee for being a big government Republican running to become Reverend-in-Chief instead of president:
Mike Huckabee is in the lead due, it appears, to voter approval of the depth and sincerity of his religious beliefs as lived out in his ministry as an ordained Southern Baptist. […]

Republicans Still Love Them Some Torture

Specifically by threatening to veto this bill, President Bush has indicated that he’s favoring these actions:
“forcing detainees to be naked, perform sexual acts, or pose in a sexual manner; placing hoods or sacks over detainees’ heads or duct tape over their eyes; beating, shocking, or burning detainees; threatening them with military dogs; exposing them to […]

Huckabee: Why’s everybody always pickin’ on me

Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown
He’s a clown, that Charlie Brown
He’s gonna get caught
Just you wait and see
(Why’s everybody always pickin’ on me) — the Coasters

Here’s a refreshing bit of news from the Ron Paul campaign. Instead of a campaign solely based on pressing his ideological views, Paul has finally starting to become politically combative, too.
Two […]

A Majority of One?

One can’t flip though the radio dial without hearing some right wing talk show host beating up on Hillary Clinton for her now infamous cackle. There’s the old cackle, the latest cackle, and soon to be more cackles.
While I may be the last American standing willing to make this statement, I’m not going to […]

When Bernanke Talks, People Listen

Let’s try that title again, this time with hyperlinks:  When Bernanke Talks, People Listen.  As of the time of this writing, the DOW is down 212 points.
It seems the investment class finds that Ron Paul makes a bit more sense than the Fed Chair (or the Democrats or Republicans, for that matter).
On Bernanke’s .25% rate […]

GOP Shot Fired at Ron Paul Revolution

Last August, I wrote the following:
Here’s some advice to Ron Paul activists working at the state level: Beware of your local GOP machine. Aaron Russo’s death reminded me of his experiences with the GOP machine when he lost the Nevada Republican primary to Kenny Guinn. While I can’t imagine Ron Paul supporters breaking the […]

GOP Logic: A Win Isn’t Really a Win

Ron Paul has won or placed well in so many GOP straw poll victories around the country that I don’t generally find them newsworthy any more.  However, I found this statement pertaining to a recent straw poll victory amusing (emphasis added):
Republican officials dismissed the poll’s outcome, noting that Paul has been concentrating on winning straw […]
