Comment in News (1 digg, 3 replies) - on 08/08/2007
You ask a terrific question - Sometimes, a sort of outlandish comparison can relate an issue in a way that makes more sense. Here's an example. Say the government decided that the web had too much erroneous information and this was bad for the public. … (see comment)

ABC News once again tries to “hide” Ron Paul popularity
Comment in News (5 diggs, 1 reply) - on 08/06/2007
What he said about bridges is a stretch, but the bottom line is that it's a government failure since govt was the responsible authority. Unlike similar instances in the free market, the responsible government agency will get more $$ and their incompetenc … (see comment)

Clear the Stage - Why the media hates Ron Paul & all "2nd tier" Candidates
Comment in News (9 diggs, 1 reply) - on 08/03/2007
Sure government programs "can work." But nowhere near as efficiently as the free market. The average tax burden in America (all sources of taxes) is close to 40%. Taking into account future liabilities (medicare, SS, etc) the average American family's sha … (see comment)

Clear the Stage - Why the media hates Ron Paul & all "2nd tier" Candidates
Comment in News (4 diggs, 0 replies) - on 08/03/2007
Sorry Jon you're wrong on this one - By eliminating the 2nd tier candidates before the primaries, you silence dissenting voices within the party. For example - let's say your logic is applied to Ron Paul. The debate exclusion discourages fence sitters who … (see comment)

Comment in News (3 diggs, 1 reply) - on 08/03/2007
It's dug down because it's a chicken/egg argument - What comes first, popularity, or coverage? If the popularity comes first then yes, the coverage is for ratings. But if the coverage comes first, isn't that likely a primary source of ratings? The vas … (see comment)

Todd Seavy Supports Ron Paul in National Review Online
Comment in News (8 diggs, 0 replies) - on 08/01/2007
Fantastic article. This is precisely the pitch i've been giving to my fellow Republican friends and family. As best I can tell, my success rate is 100%. If you believe the federal government is too big, this is your man. No other candidate has a track … (see comment)

Ron Paul And The Fair Tax: Can I support both?
Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 07/31/2007
In concept, the "fair tax" is better than the income tax. But for any serious discussion, the fair tax legislation legislation needs a line that says "this bill shall take effect immediately on upon certification of the repeal of the 16th amendment, but n … (see comment)

Entitlements Could Account For 75% Of Federal Budget By 2030
Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 07/31/2007
This is the result of a monetary system that allows congress to spend with zero short term consequences. Notice how your local and state governments don't have these kinds of problems. They have a "budget crisis" all the time, but the bottom line is that … (see comment)

If only people could view healthcare like any other market activity. In the grand scheme of things, we have the greatest healtchare system the world has ever seen. At the end of the Roman Empire, life expectancy was 28. At the end of the 19th century in W … (see comment)

Your Guide to 2008 Presidential Candidates' Positions on Top 25 Issues
Comment in News (-2 diggs, 6 replies) - on 07/21/2007
These things are hard to do - it was nice effort but ultimately it's unfair to try and summarize a position via a check box. An obvious example of this is Ron Paul's abortion position. He's is opposed to abortion, however, he puts the constitution above … (see comment)

Federal spending gone crazy. Federal liabilities total $500,000 per family
Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 07/12/2007
I wish so much that this was true! Unfortunately, Bush didn't veto a single bill in his first term. His first veto was in July of 2006. The May 2007 veto of the troop withdrawal plan was only the 2nd bill he's ever vetoed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ … (see comment)

Stem cell research - I think you'll find Dr. Paul votes against any government subsidies, whether he personally supports the cause or not. I believe this approach is correct. Why have bureaucrats, politicians, and lobbyists deciding what technologies are … (see comment)

@jbus - Believe me, i'm "really fiscally conservative" - But let's be honest here, what's more likely to happen - an effort inside the party to return us to our fiscally conservative roots? Or a true 3rd party that values these to rise up to a competetive … (see comment)

Ron Paul is blowing up real good
Comment in News (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 06/02/2007
Remember that the US government's total liabilities are just shy of $60 trillion - that's $500,000 per US household. Maybe you believe the federal government should fund all kinds of research, and that's fine, but the bottom line is we desperately need t … (see comment)
