    he seems to favor legalizing pot and making government smaller, those seem to be Paul's big draws

    Ventura would be a good VP for Ron Paul. He would make up for the testosterone that Paul lacks.

    The NDAA signed into law just 14 days ago is a thoroughly obnoxious piece of legislation. Indefinite detention without trial for US citizens, that does not concern you?

    It is all well and good saying that it is aimed at preventing terrorism but was the Federal Wire Act ever intended to outlaw online poker? Did any court ever rule that it was? Branches of government have a habit of taking feet rather than the inches intended.

    I can't believe why everyone bad mouths Ventura for? Everything Ventura talks about is conspiracy prone. Ever notice? I like that out of him... regardless if he's right or not... he fishes for things. US citizens need a guy like him. I'd vote for him easily. Got nothing to lose.

    Paul lacking anything? If Paul is lacking anything I would want in a President, I don't know what it would be? He's taken on a pack of wolves for 20 years or more. And, he hasn't slowed down or changed any of his standard convictions.

    "If you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be."

    Nearly every black person is a criminal.

    "Given the inefficiencies of what DC laughingly calls the criminal justice system, I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal."

    If you don't agree with Ron Paul 100%, you aren't sensible.

    "Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5 percent of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market, individual liberty and the end of welfare and affirmative action."

    He supports lowering the age to prosecute black youths as adults too.

    "black males age 13 who have been raised on the streets and who have joined criminal gangs are as big, strong, tough, scary and culpable as any adult and should be treated as such."
    Don't worry though, Ron Paul hates all minorities equally, including Jews.
    "by far the most powerful lobby in Washington of the bad sort is the Israeli government."

    To sum it up, Ron Paul puts Strom Thurmond to shame.


    Ron Paul supports quiting NATO. You see, Ron Paul actually believes in the following:
    "Under no circumstances should the U.S. again go to war as the result of a resolution that comes from an unelected, foreign body, such as the United Nations."

    The United Nations was uhh, pretty against the war actually. That's why half of Europe didn't stupidly jump into Iraq. In fact, Donald Rumsfeld said he hated most of 'old' Europe for not supporting us blindly.

    "You're thinking of Europe as Germany and France. I don't," he said. "I think that's old Europe."

    New Europe was mostly made of small, insignificant countries, that supported us during the war. Too bad they didn't have much soldiers or supplies to send, but thanks for the moral support. Ron Paul didn't support invading Iraq though. He instead decided we would be better off using Letters of Marque and Reprisal because the terrorists committed "air piracy." That just screams "jackass." It's the equivalent of a poster that says, "Wanted Dead or Alive." I know the man is conservative, but christ, there are more effective methods than relying on the criminal justice system of the old west.

    If you saw Sicko recently, you may have felt that the United States needs universal health care. Ron Paul is so against that idea, that he supports 100% free trade of the health market. They can even charge more to profit off of people's health, because they aren't already making enough money. Have fun trying to pay medical bills and the 23% sales tax, while Ron Paul laughs his way to the bank. If nothing convinces you that Ron Paul is the spawn of Satan, explain this:

    Do you have a philosophical belief that every American should have health insurance? Have access to health coverage?

    Ron Paul's response:
    I think you've stated it correctly and they should, but I don't see it as a right.

    Bill O managed to invite a guest on his show that had an embarrassing story on Ventura. They have been feuding for years and Bill seems not willing to take Ventura on anymore?
    However, he invited this professional sniper on his show [wonder why?], who, told the tale of meeting Ken Ventura at a Vietnam Vet's get together. The sniper tells Bill O that he knocked Ventura cold with one swing to the kisser, after the outspoken Ventura make a sarcastic remark about dead Viet Veterans. Something like "they deserved it."
    I haven't heard Ventura's side, but ol' Bill seems to have invited this fellow on for that one particular story, only?

    I am anticipating a response from Ken Ventura. I know he has no respect for Bill O, so he will come with some payback, you can be sure of that.

    ''We're going to give the press a ten minute head start, then that's what we're going to hunt.'' -- Ventura, in a pre-hunting interview with television reporters

    ''Being able to put two rounds into the same hole from 25 meters! That's gun control.'' -- Ventura, during a pre-election radio interview on the crime issue

    “I will never stand for a national anthem again. I will turn my back and I will raise a fist.” — Jesse Ventura
    ''Anyway, I've done way more stupid things on alcohol than I have on pot.'' -- Jesse Ventura, in a pre-election discussion on the decriminalization of marijuana

    Nothing out of context, I can post the full transcripts, but some of you have ADD and won't get to the second page.

    I saw that sniper show, ABE. The punk ran away after hitting him, you know, like in grade school?

    Typical sniper puss, shoot from afar, hit and run when fighting man to man.

    I'm not sure he's that bad of a coward, or even a coward? Would you slug Ventura under any circumstances? I think he was a realist.
    I do believe Bill O "acts" more like a coward, by not inviting him on. I have lost half of any respect I ever had for Brilliant Bill. I think he's been #1 so long, something snapped inside that arrogant head of his.
