What do you have to say about Big Hugh shutting down the last independent TV station in his country becuase they did not tow his party line?

I'd really like to hear you defend that.

ps. By the way, he just stated he did it becuase the US is spying on his country using televisions....

Seriously, I'm sure not all of them are crazy as loons, but everywhere I go on the internet theyre always popping up and spamming like its doomsday and Paul is the Messiah. Heres a quote from a comment on a youtube about Presidential candidate Mike Gravel:

"Mike Gravel is just another globalist who speaks about globalism and a new globe order and he wants to tax the world to further enrich the global elite.

Screw that and screw Mike Gravel.

What do you guys think? And how does it affect your view of Ron Paul as a candidate to have such a nutty crowd following him?

"I'm going home for awhile to try and be normal," she said.

This will take a near miracle... I used to feel bad for her and I still do just a little bit... but this woman is totally messed up due in part to the libs and dems..

She goes on and says: "Good-bye America ... you are not the country that I love and I finally realized no matter how much I sacrifice, I can't make you be that country unless you want it."

She sounds like a lib... glass more than half empty... she is giving up on this great country her sons gave his life to defend.

But she also drew criticism for some actions, such as meeting with Hugo Chavez, Venezuela's leftist president.

"I have endured a lot of smear and hatred since Casey was killed and especially since I became the so-called "Face" of the American anti-war movement," Sheehan wrote in the diary.

Did she think America would continue to embrace her for meeting with terrorists and embracing them?

If Al Gore ran for president in 2008, would you vote for him? If so, please do something to urge him to run. America made a mistake electing Bush. In my opinion, that was just a fluke victory. With Bush we are a rock that doesn't move. Al Gore would give that rock wheels (Metaphorically speaking, of course.) Sign a petition at draftgore.com or algore. org. Would you vote for a better tomorrow?

Who supports hillary clinton's decisicon to evacuating the troops in Iraq? you can explain why if you like, I am supporting her becuz the war in iraq it was the "bushes game" to put their hand on iraqs oil the "bushes" war is not americas war, the only people who benefited out of this war are the bushes and theyre oil empires and corporations, but they are trying to make all of america pay for it, and america has already payed dearly. I am just saying my opinion and u are free to urs thanks for your time.

First question:

Do you tend to lean toward a liberal political ideology or a conservative one?

Second question:

Does it annoy you when U.S. products have packaging/instructions in multiple languages (Spanish in particular), does it make you happy to see it, or are you apathetic?

Out healthcare system has a TON of problems... I am not disputing that... and it need a lot of work to get us on track again.

But why do Liberals think that socializing it will fix the problem? Hillary's plan in the 90's forbid people from seeing a doctor of their choosing... even if they paid for it themselves. Big government has never fixed anything.

Socialized healthcare has failed everywhere it has been tried. It results in people dying because the line to get care is so long...

What will be different about any plan currently proposed, that will prevent the kind of massive failure we have seen in EVERY other country on this planet that has socialized medicine?

Why don't I have a RIGHT to choose what doctor I see, and how I pay for it?

Again, I agree that we have problems in the present system... but I dont see how our government can get it right... they dont have a very good track record for getting much of anything done right.

"Good-bye America ... you are not the country that I love and I finally realized no matter how much I sacrifice, I can't make you be that country unless you want it."

"It's up to you now."

"When I started to hold the Democratic Party to the same standards that I held the Republican Party, support for my cause started to erode and the 'left' started labeling me with the same slurs that the right used,"

"I guess no one paid attention to me when I said that the issue of peace and people dying for no reason is not a matter of 'right or left', but 'right and wrong,'"

"Casey died for a country which cares more about who will be the next American Idol than how many people will be killed in the next few months while Democrats and Republicans play politics with human lives. It is so painful to me to know that I bought into this system for so many years and Casey paid the price for that allegiance. I failed my boy and that hurts the most."
