Like dumping on DUers? Glad you are as disgusted by that as I am. sabrina 1 Jun 2013 #93

They'd also cut taxes on the 1% to about 0%, and then kill all social programs given JoePhilly Jun 2013 #3

The OP was not about taxes, it was about leaks, spying on Americans, etc. 99th_Monkey Jun 2013 #7

You claim they are helping to save us from the tyrants. And they are not. JoePhilly Jun 2013 #12

Do you think Ron and Rand think the earth is round or flat? eom 99th_Monkey Jun 2013 #13

I think the Pauls should be ignored, not scorned necessarily 99th_Monkey Jun 2013 #19

Does this mean poor ole Ralph Nader is off the hook? nm rhett o rick Jun 2013 #17

Yes. Apparently the Pauls have up-staged Ralph in the villainy department. ~nt 99th_Monkey Jun 2013 #20

You believe that Ron Paul "an honest man, sincerely dedicated to his beliefs"? ucrdem Jun 2013 #31

You may disagree with him, and you may not like his beliefs, Blue_In_AK Jun 2013 #77

Okay but what he honestly believes in is keeping Jim Crow laws. ucrdem Jun 2013 #79

I'm not disagreeing with that. Blue_In_AK Jun 2013 #82

I guess if you are willing to accept that as a win. Rex Jun 2013 #23

I DO own it, those are my words and I stand by them, but that's not what you posted upstream 99th_Monkey Jun 2013 #67

Why did you cite the 1% then? geek tragedy Jun 2013 #71

Ron Paul sez he's into auditing the FED, etc., but this Koch funding suggests otherwise? 99th_Monkey Jun 2013 #75

The 1% don't give a shit about Fed audits. geek tragedy Jun 2013 #76
