That is probably the most true statement I have heard this week. I wish I could digg this twice :) - mrASSMAN, on 10/19/2007, -8/+181What's scary is the fact that he is leading the Republican nomination by a long shot. Everyone on Digg better ***** vote, and encourage everyone around you to do the same.. after educating them a little on the horrors of Giuliani.
Have we not learned anything from Bush? I know Americans don't like him.. he hit 24% approval a few days ago, and yet here we are making the same mistakes all over again. We can't let this happen, VOTE *****! - SiNN4R, on 10/30/2007, -6/+147Both Hillary and Giuliani scare the crap out of me. They're two of the least trustworthy human beings I have ever seen.
- Tangaroa, on 10/19/2007, -6/+138Interesting summary since George W. Bush's foreign policy team are the ones that Reagan's people derided as "the Crazies".
- lilbitmoreslyk, on 10/19/2007, -7/+93I'm not a Republican nor a Ron Paul fan but seriously, the way things are looking with a potentially Hilary Clinton and Giuliani presidential run, I think i'll be switching parties and voting Ron Paul. He's probably the bet choice we have. Anyhow, either way the next president I believe should stop military actions, re-do our foreign policy, and rebuild our economy.
- bradym80, on 10/21/2007, -8/+84Giuliani knows the game. He's basically mirroring current foreign policy and white house agendas assuming that the "powers that be" will support him and "florida/ohio/diebold" him into the white house.
The american flag pin is a ***** lie. - understudy, on 10/19/2007, -11/+81RIght, because internet people don't exist in real life, and they only donate fake dollars to the campaign.
/sarcasm
_ - slowmo, on 10/19/2007, -2/+64Giuliani publicly announced that he was seeking a separation from is former wife, Donna Hanover, before he had told her in person, nor did he attend his son's high school graduation. The guy has seriously unresolved issues and his personal life looks like the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Why should I think that a person that can't even maintain an even-keeled personal life would be an ideal candidate for president?
I'm no saint but I can spot a creep when I see one. - inactive, on 10/19/2007, -4/+46Damn thing is...I didn't see Ron Paul's name mentioned in the article anywhere. You must really feel threatened by Paul if you're seeing him in every political news story.
- TecHeavy, on 10/19/2007, -2/+41I just don't understand why people are so threatened and scared by our constitution. We finally get a candidate running for president that will seriously restore our country and give us real freedom, and people think its a joke. The other GOP candidates literally laugh at Mr. Paul when he mentions the constitution during debates. Our country...sorry to say will never return to its full glory because we as its people are so brain washed and clueless about what is really happening to our country. We can't see truth anymore, and when that happens politicians no longer have to lie to us about the bad things they are doing, they will just do them. I can tell you this....there is no other candidate running now that is better then Ron Paul. Ive always voted democrat, and never thought I would be voting for a republican. Our country has been damaged so much that we can no longer look at political parties. If we don't wake up and see what is going on there may not be anymore political parties in this country...hell there will be no country. So please everyone get the hell out of the box that our crooked politicians and brainwashing media have created for us. Notice the how the media tells us what to think and who to vote for. Think for yourselves, and not rely on the media to do it for you. Just look how the media, and the other candidates treat Mr. Paul. They know that his policies will put the power back in the peoples hands, and this will ruin them. It sucks because even if he does get elected...which is a long shot, I believe they would take him out....it's happened before. (JFK) Our freedom is fake now, and in the coming future the people who can't see this will. I'd bet my life on it. WAKE UP!!!
- mrASSMAN, on 10/19/2007, -3/+35It was, and electing ghouliani would mean continuing the lunacy spiral downward when we should be leveling out and heading in as stark an opposite direction as possible. We need a ***** triple-flip 180° afterburner reversal back into America's roots. Then we gotta drown that ***** in Miracle-Gro and compound it with freedom-fertilizer..
- understudy, on 10/19/2007, -8/+39Your fallacies of logic are legion: argumentum ad hominem (cult of paul neckbeards), bandwagon fallacy and appeal to popularity (5%), appeal to consequences (who'll kill us all), appeal to authority (the rational people), etc.
_ - Tyrsson, on 10/19/2007, -5/+36Giuliani was the most dangerous candidate even before he surrounded himself with loonies to shape his foreign policy.
- SiNN4R, on 10/19/2007, -1/+29I hope the republican party is smart enough to realize he's their only shot. I just don't want another sociopath for president. Thats about all I want politically.
- tao52nyc, on 10/19/2007, -4/+31I just got an e-mail from the Paul campaign (supposedly Ron himself wrote it)...apparently he's been invited to participate in a Republican National Cmte. fundraising dinner, where only those considered "top tier" candidates were invited (!). So RP is moving up in the world, and the possibility of his actually getting the nomination is becoming more credible by the day. Naysayers be warned - your position may not be as rock solid as you think. This election cycle could certainly use to be shaken up a bit.
- TheLoneHoot, on 10/19/2007, -4/+299/11! Let me 9/11 tell you something 9/11 that you might 9/11 not 9/11 realize. 9/11 9/11 changed everything 9/11!
oh and uh, 9/11 - DroidBlender, on 09/18/2008, -8/+31mrASSMAN knows where you live! VOTE OR DIE!
- thecatcantalk, on 10/19/2007, -3/+24Well, there's a reason why native New Yorkers (even liberal, philanthropic Upper East Side ones) despise both Rudy Giuliani and Hillary Clinton; they're both high-functioning sociopaths who will tell you anything you want to hear, then shoot your dog and rape your wife on the kitchen table (NAFTA, anyone?). A pox on both their houses. Ron Paul for President.
- Shorties, on 10/19/2007, -11/+31Honestly Giuliani is not going to win, he is too much of a ***** idiot. (He might win the primary but he has no chance at winning the election) But I can already tell this election is going to be the lesser of two evils.
- chase001, on 10/21/2007, -6/+26"Electing" Monkey Boy a second time wasn't a quantum leap in lunacy?
- petewiz, on 10/19/2007, -2/+21First, buried because I couldn't understand what you were saying with Rupert Murdoch's dick in your mouth.
Your defense of Giuliani is that Clinton and Obama aren't qualified? No *****, but that doesn't detract from the fact that Rudy is even less qualified. What did he do besides take credit for other people's hard work? Nah, it wasn't those people who risked their lives to save others that inspired unity, it was that douche standing in front of cameras and running his mouth. Same thing with the crime rate, he had absolutely nothing to do with it.
"Let me guess: you want to legalize it, too." Gee, where did you get that idea? http://digg.com/offbeat_news/Digg_and_Reddit_Users ...
The fact that you would take a swipe at the legalization movement in the middle of defending Mayor 9/11 confirms my suspicion that your head is firmly up your ass. Please, off yourself. - dissection, on 10/19/2007, -1/+19Every election consist of a turd sandwich and a giant douche.
- tao52nyc, on 10/19/2007, -0/+17Or is it, as Sy Leon used to say: "The evil of two lessers?"
- Fordi, on 10/18/2007, -2/+19"he's a lunatic who'll kill us all"
Tell me, O enlightened one, how any of Paul's policies will lead to 'killing us all'.
You want to talk about who sounds crazy. You sound like the paranoid nutjob in every film who gets knocked out five minues into a crisis for losing his head. - CaymanCarpediem, on 10/19/2007, -3/+20RedNote, we fully understand that anyone who doesn't agree with you is either evil, ignorant, or just an ***** neckbeard.
However: "He'll kill an infinite number of people." I don't think that word means what you think it means. Now I realize that pointing out you don’t seem to understand some basic words does in fact make me a pretty despicable human being, however, it is a risk I’m willing to take in an effort to have you appear less uneducated in the future.
Best wishes! - Mdigg007, on 10/20/2007, -6/+22Ron Paul for President - Viva la RevoLution!
- chris9902, on 10/22/2007, -5/+21I really exist? holy crap! I'm gonna party like it's 1999... again.
- annienyc4, on 10/19/2007, -0/+141/2 the people will vote for that fraud no matter how similar he is to bush b/c they "hate hillary". Those people are how we got into this mess in the first place and is why that fascist is leading in the polls.
- inactive, on 10/19/2007, -8/+22Did you just take an intro to logic class and are you really jonsin' to show off how many fallacy classifications you know?
- stevetrojanman, on 10/19/2007, -2/+16Agreed...as a person who is generally right leaning, neither of these candidates impresses me much. I'm pretty much in an "anyone but Hillary" mode right now though...I have about as high of an opinion of her and her dealings as the lefties do with W. For there to be any chance of me voting with the Dems in this election, Hillary can't be the candidate. The corruption will continue with her there.
- natedouglas, on 10/20/2007, -0/+13I admit that I didn't understand the war on radical muslims until I heard some proponents discussing it over banjo music and moonshine.
- sHockz, on 10/19/2007, -7/+20hmmm, i wonder why he could be a scary candidate?
could it be that he is another GW Bush? That he is just a puppet for the people who control the world? That he is more cold hearted than any president we know? That he wants to start WWIII?
I dont know, I think he gets my vote.......NOT
Good job being on ground zero after you decimated it, Jackass. Good job putting the 911 call center in the WTC building, jackass. Good job with the media too, good job killing our firefighters, and good job getting new york to hate you.
And guess what! You sir, can get even MORE people to hate you, just by lying to us all until you get into office. Although, you have let us know you have no plans to change our ***** foreign policy, so....great. More death
why do we kill people who kill people to show people that killing people is wrong? - Quaterni0n, on 10/18/2007, -0/+13I think you underestimate the number of idiots in this country. Remember, we voted dubya into office not once, but twice. Bush has strong ties to the church and Murdoch. Protestant churches everywhere and any media owned by Murdoch (Fox, being one of them) are going to go into propaganda overdrive mode, trying to get everyone to vote for whoever Bush thinks will carry the torch and go forth with his crusade against Arabs.
- webkeeper, on 10/19/2007, -0/+13As the 2000 primary season was rumbling along, and the far right was coagulating around Dubya, I registered Republican to vote for McCain in the spring. My then-small children asked me why I didn't want to vote for GWB, who was getting a lot of positive press at the time (Remember then?). I told them that I didn't dislike GWB (true at the time), but that I was very concerned about the people and advisors he was surrounding himself with, and that when the General Election came around, it wasn't just Dubya we'd be installing into office, but all those smiling faces behind him at the podium and around the conference table. We've lived the consequences of the electorate ignoring that small detail.
As I look at the shallow pool of candidates from both major parties I am less than inspired by the backroom staff of any of them, but Rudy's peeps (and his rhetoric) scare me more than words can say.
Attention all Neo-Cons: Your lack of empathy, and inability to see anything beyond your personal dogma and comfort is the fuel that has taken a golden opportunity for the US of A to be the white knight you envision and improve genuine peace and prosperity planetwide and instead turned us into the most universally reviled regime since Herr Hitler.
Attention all Lefties: If we manage to get to November '08 without the institution of martial law and suspension of elections and you think for one second that the Neo-Cons can't manage to Harris/Blackwell/Supreme Court, wake the f@ck up and get all of your peeps to the polls and throw up some numbers that can't be poo-pooed as "margin of error"! - Rodman930, on 10/19/2007, -1/+13Last Gallup poll put Hillary vs Giuliani at 49% - 47%. That's way to close for comfort.
- jafortin, on 10/19/2007, -1/+13I agree with what a lot of people have had to say concerning Giuliani; as long as neither Giuliani nor Hilary are elected, I'd consider myself satisfied.
- vanimal, on 10/19/2007, -1/+13There is a portion of the constitution that in fact does say the federal government shouldn't do those things:
(10th Amendment) The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved for the States respectively, or to the people.
I'm not saying that helping underprivileged people pay for education or healthcare (whether they're minorities or not) is a bad thing, just that it's not the federal government's role. - Waiting2awake, on 10/19/2007, -1/+13Maybe it isn't that at all - maybe he is just making sure the person that made the comment in the first place, understood that his entire post is a fallacy?
Sometimes when someone tells another they're a dick - it is just because they are being a dick? - r81984, on 10/18/2007, -1/+13Gulliani running for president makes no sense to me.
He is the least qualified person ever for president. (well almost since the current Bush is the least qualified of all time)
It bobbles my mind, WTFsfhlflkjskdjf, How is he qualified to be president????? - ramiro, on 10/19/2007, -0/+10If you really spite the world, you can vote for Giuliani or Hillary and move to Antarctica.
- stevetrojanman, on 10/19/2007, -3/+13Only those from the Right-Wing Hate Machine think that Ron Paul won't get elected! Are you part of the machine? RON PAUL 2008... I couldn't resist
sarcasm - Hananda, on 10/19/2007, -0/+10That viewpoint is a big part of the problem with the electoral system.
- Sle3per, on 10/18/2007, -0/+9Legalize what? Are you talking about high horses or language?
- Fordi, on 10/18/2007, -9/+18http://www.myspace.com/fordi
Note the lack of neckbeard, you bigoted *****. - stevetrojanman, on 10/19/2007, -1/+10No...Jesus never got married and is believed to have dealings with a prostitute...he'd never get elected.
sarcasm again - lyserious, on 10/20/2007, -3/+12Rudy is to much of an authoritarian to even grasp what it means to be the American president. Clinton...well with her slip sliding and fake accents, i think we can all say we are tired of the presidency being "In the family." Im sorry I can't handle two Bushs' in office, what makes you think I can handle two Clintons'?
Obama is burning out, his campaign is starting to slow down. He needs to step it up and become more moderate. By not appealing to the extreme left move on types he can win out against Clinton.
Folks. Im a libertarian. And Im only going to say this as clearly as possible. Congressman Paul and Gravel are the only candidates i have seen from both parties that can change the country for the country. And you have got to remember, Money doesnt win elections. Clinton having 60 some million dollars only bill boards her as a bought out puppet.
Her hands are so tied by the lobbyist she will not have the presidency, they will. - MattCruikshank, on 10/18/2007, -1/+10I've always voted for Democrats in the Presidential elections, but I'm not looking forward to being forced to vote for Hilary. I don't think she walks on water. I frankly don't get why anyone likes her. So, it's not like we all think alike.
Also, way to persuade people to see things your way by calling us "***** Democrats" and calling Bill Clinton a "dickface." - thebutcher2, on 10/19/2007, -1/+10Ron Paul may not be enough. Armed revolution?
- souljaboytellem, on 10/19/2007, -0/+8Damn right
- audaciousgenre, on 10/18/2007, -2/+10Register to vote. Right now. Do it
