I Never took you as a lock stepper mutt. You have always struck me as a free thinker. In the end would my vote make that much difference?” 11:47:55 AM 5/14/08 “Man I Festoed-- NE1Ls ? last edited: 5/14/08 11:55:02 AM” 11:54:33 AM 5/14/08 “I Never took you as a lock stepper mutt. - Nigal I'm a pragmatist. In the end would my vote make that much difference? It's not you personally, Nigal. You're not a stupid person. It's the ideas, however, that are, and those ideas are apparently held by a lot of disaffected conservative/libertarians. The general election is not the time to teach the republicans a lesson - the cost is too high.” 11:59:35 AM 5/14/08 “BTW - as bad as Bush has been, Kerry and Gore would've been worse.” 12:00:08 PM 5/14/08 “I voted for bush (meaning against kerry and gore) and that didn't work out so grand, did it? I Never took you as a lock stepper mutt. You have always struck me as a free thinker. In the end would my vote make that much difference?” nigal 11:47:55 AM 5/14/08 Worked out well for me.” 12:01:49 PM 5/14/08 “So after reading this, the real queastion when it comes to voting, to me at least, is where should one's priorities be: with oneself or with the people? How can you vote for a candidate who doesn't share an iota of your core beliefs? When is it okay to hold your nose and compromise your principles? Personally, I can't stand any of the candidates (again) and am tired of voting against people. So do I vote for me or for the majority? What did the Founding Fathers intend?” 6:11:57 AM 5/15/08 “It's all about blindly following the party.” 7:14:09 AM 5/15/08 “. Nigal's head” 7:31:01 AM 5/15/08 “For some (mostly here on TT, lol) that's true but I don't think that's what Mutt was advocating.” 7:31:29 AM 5/15/08 “if you are voting your principles then you are voting for self interest. Nothing wrong with that, but if thats what you are doing then you need to look at the three candidates (Obama/McCain/Paul) and ask yourself where would putting your vote best protect your self interests. I think we are all grown up enough to know that voting for Paul in this election will not get him elected President. And its pretty obvious that the choice the democrats will put up will attempt a radical redirection of our countries path. The republican candidate some say is pretty much the same direction we have been going the last decade or so. Neither party will make the government smaller, one will tax us to death, the other borrow us to teh same place. Not much of a choice, but at least the republican way rewards self achievement while the democrats penalizes.” 7:48:29 AM 5/15/08 “What did the Founding Fathers intend I think they meant to coordinate the states rather than command to them, otherwise , we would live in America with States.” 7:57:07 AM 5/15/08 “No argument there, but do you ever see us going back to pre-civil war style government. A vote for Paul only hurts McCain. It will have no effect on the Obama vote. So you aren't washing your hands of both parties just republicans. So when you vote for Paul the net effect is to assist Obama. Maybe you guys can find the nadir voters and form a new party.” 8:16:33 AM 5/15/08 “I feel what's in my best interests are also best for everyone. If I was just looking out for me I'd vote Obama and get everything from the gumbmint.” 8:30:53 AM 5/15/08 “you'd only get it if you stopped being successful and being in control of your own life. Is that really in your self interest. I don't see you as the type to take” 8:37:24 AM 5/15/08 “"the choice the democrats will put up will attempt a radical redirection of our countries path." - hyway Sounds good to me.” 6:18:01 PM 5/15/08 “With a sea of red in front of me, I had to think of how wrong I was believing in that Ron Paul dood. LMAO” 7:11:35 AM 7/11/08 “What is the point?” 6:45:17 AM 7/14/08 “Bernanke- that's all.” 8:25:01 AM 7/15/08 “What are you trying to do salebored? KEEP HOPE ALIVE!!!??” 9:22:02 AM 7/15/08 “ INTERVIEW WITH MCCAIN HECKLER ADAM KOKESH. Kokesh, a passionate Ron Paul supporter, is 26 and a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War. He served in Fallujah in 2004, grew up in Santa Fe, and currently lives in Washington, D.C. He has a website. At the beginning of McCain's speech, Kokesh held up a sign reading, "McCain Votes Against Vets" and yelled, "Ask him why he votes against vets!" I followed as Kokesh was escorted out of the Excel Center by security, handcuffed by local police, and then briefly questioned while security debated whether or not the Secret Service would get involved. They did not. He was then escorted off the premises and allowed to go free. I interviewed him just outside the security gates, where he was greeted happily by antiwar protesters. Why were you here in the Twin Cities? And how did you get into the Excel Center? I was here in Minneapolis for the IVAW convention and thought I’d stick around for this. Well I’ve been a Ron Paul supporter since the beginning of this campaign. Since before this campaign started, actually, I’ve been a fan of Paul. So I’ve got a lot of friends in the Ron Paul crowd. And he’s got a lot of delegates in there. More than the Republican Party is willing to admit. And the fact that I got into there is proof of that. One of Paul’s alternate delegates got me a guest pass. Were you surprised to be handcuffed? Or are you just relieved you were not arrested or detained longer? I was actually expecting to get manhandled much sooner. [During the heckling], someone was grabbing my belt and pulling on me. And then someone pulled the sign out of my hands. Do you feel your protest was effective? Well I wasn’t so much trying to interrupt the speech as make the point that McCain has a horrible voting record on veterans. What the Republican Party is doing with their take on the war in Iraq is spinning it in such a way that it’s about victory or defeat. But they can’t face up to the fact that you can’t win an occupation. In an occupation, everybody loses. What we’re calling for is an immediate withdrawal of all occupying forces in Iraq. Who will you vote for in November? Bob Barr. http://www.prospect.org/csnc/blogs/tapped_archive?month=09&year=2008&base_name=interview_with_mccain_heckler” 4:50:49 AM 9/05/08 “Apparently that guy isn't too bright. There is no reason to ask McCain something he's addressed many times, unless he's either stupid or not paying attention. He should learn to research, especially if he's going to have his own website. McCain voted 'no' to the pork being pushed through on those bills. As he mentioned in the speech, as President he would veto the pork until the lawmakers rewrote the bills to exclude the pork. Great example of an uninformed idiot violin. Thanks!” 5:05:48 AM 9/05/08 “That's the way both sides use hitchhiker pork. See, we tried to help the vets, but the you dudes turned us away. Now back to the pile of dead messengers.” 11:39:16 AM 9/05/08 How\'s the election go, Ron? “  ”8:47:10 AM 11/05/08 “Kinda looks like Forest Gump sitting there.” 8:48:07 AM 11/05/08 “Does he have to take a leak?” 9:02:02 AM 11/05/08 “Truth is a heavy and lonely load to bear.” 9:07:55 AM 11/05/08 “dude should have run as libertarian instead of as a republican. His message would have rocked that party.” 9:21:23 AM 11/05/08 “I think he had the most clear and consistent political philosophy of anyone running for the nomination of either party. He probably beats out Bob Barr and Cynthia McKinney on this, too. No wonder he captured the imagination of many and had a snowballs chance in fuego.” 9:24:25 AM 11/05/08 “Yep, he would have taken many of the votes away from Obama if he ran under libertarian.” 9:24:26 AM 11/05/08 “It would be nice to see a little more strength in that and other parties.” 9:26:34 AM 11/05/08 “I am proud to say I voted for Ron Paul on 11/04/2008, the day ... the muuusic, ... died.” 9:35:03 AM 11/05/08 “Ron Paul - lol - I forgot about that doofus. How many childish idealists voted for that clown?” 10:39:25 AM 11/05/08 “less than the 172,000 votes that chuck baldwin got.” 10:42:36 AM 11/05/08 “LMAO! That's really sticking it to the Republicans!” 10:43:44 AM 11/05/08 “For some us us, it's more important just to do the right thing than to worry about who we' going to offend.” 10:55:25 AM 11/05/08 “I suppose you don't worry about who we is goin' to amuse, either.” 11:01:12 AM 11/05/08 “the right thing? Paul ended his campaign back in June saying he wanted to spend time supporting libertarian candidates around the country. Why didn't you vote for Barr like Paul wanted you too?” 11:01:24 AM 11/05/08 “And for adults in the real world, it's more important to hold your nose and be practical when necessary, and wait for the right time to make efforts to enact change, instead of running off after silly idealists like Ron Paul in the name of a false, holier-than-thou sense of intellectual or moral purity.” 11:04:04 AM 11/05/08 “"Why didn't you vote for Barr like Paul wanted you too?" Who cares? As long as he played nice with the pencils and paper on election day.” 11:04:29 AM 11/05/08 “Yeah, instead we got this polished retard...  ”4:53:37 AM 11/06/08 3:42:20 AM 11/02/09 “LOL...the fun part is that Hospitals/Doctors HAD to go CORPORATE to cover the HUGE costs of idiot malpractice insurance. If they would institute some form of TORT reform you would see the prices drop.” 4:51:27 AM 11/02/09 “Ron Paul is a racist who slandered MLK Jr as a gay pedophile and his legions of idiots denied denied denied but it's true to this day LOL - from the comments” 5:04:01 AM 11/02/09 “LOL that you would believe that.” 5:18:43 AM 11/02/09 “LOL that you think I believe that” 5:34:27 AM 11/02/09 “LOL” 5:37:52 AM 11/02/09 “LOL” 5:45:26 AM 11/02/09 “LOL, LOL, what a bunch of LOL clowns.LOL” 6:34:08 AM 11/02/09 “silly libbies” 8:19:42 AM 11/02/09 “WTFIsYour LOL?LOL” 8:38:36 AM 11/02/09 Jump to Page << prev
