    I wish the Civil Rights Act was repealed. It's unconstitutional

    I think we're straying off-subject here.

    Like him or hate him, he does poll among the top tier. He's the only candidate with a solid organization on the ground in all 50 states. He's a prolific fund-raiser and oh yeah, he nearly tied for first in Ames.
    *That* is the objective measure of a candidate's "electability".

    The media isn't "ignoring" Paul, they are intentionally suppressing coverage of him in hopes of influencing the voters. Omissions are lies, and the media has just been busted lying to you in an attempt to sway a Presidential election. No matter what your politics, you've got to find that disturbing.

    What's not to understand? Dollar has declined 95% since 1913. Fiat money is bad. Let's introduce competing currencies. Let's end the fed. Blah blah blah. Just because I think what he says is non sense doesn't mean I don't understand it. I understand what he's saying very well. He's just wrong.

    If you ask him, he'd say he's a Libertarian. Libertarians should not be confused with Conservatives. So of the same views in terms of limited government but very different in general.

    He says he is a Constitutionalist... Which means on the spectrum he is a Libertarian(Y Axis) and Conservative(X Axis) on the Political Spectrum. He is indeed a Conservative...

    How is he wrong? Is it purely based on opinion, do you have facts/logic to back up your statement as to why it's bad or do you benefit from a FIAT system that secretly steals from the masses?

    That may be true but he is much closer to a real conservative than any neo-con artist/republican will ever be.

    Liberal democrats are not true liberals, and republicans have never been conservatives, even though many conservatives who vote have been tricked into believing they are.

    Hooray for fake liberals and phony journalism!

    Hooray for illusionary freedom of the press and fake political rallies!

    Jon Stewart defends George W. Bush on MSNBC


    "Stewart said Bush "is not a war criminal," and said he believed the former president's assertions about Saddam Hussein's chemical and biological weapons programs prior to the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq were what Bush "truly believed" at the time.

    http://washingtonscene.thehill.com/in-the-know/36-news/7003-jon-stewart-defends-george-w-bush



    "In contrast, host Rachel Maddow has in the past suggested that the Bush administration knowingly misled the American public about the imminent threat from Hussein's weapons program. She has also argued on air that U.S. actions during the Iraq war violated the Geneva Conventions, making the Commander-In-Chief, technically, a war criminal.

    Jon Stewart behaves exactly like lamestream media pro-war hacks, and its not accidental.No war criminal in the WH, and he agreed yesterday with Sarah Palin, right wing hatespeech is not to blame for AZ shooting, just a "lone nut."Stewart has his lamestream media talking points all in order as he performs his role as $6 million dollar man for Uncle Sam.

    Why the hell does he always kiss up to the NeoCons like Condi Rice?


    Are politicians using the show for propaganda purposes?

    He's sitting there, thinking like, "Yeah, I'll sit on the fence here, take my 6 million bucks a year, let the Oligarchs spew their disinfo and pro-war dogma pushing their crappy books like Oprah, while I sit and nod. But I'm too smart to vote and I'm above it all."

    Stewarts brother is President of the New York Stock Exchange (he's got connections)

    The facts are 100% on my side. But you're not going to believe me anyway. I suggest you do some research on economics. Not just Austrian economics but all schools. You'll find the kind of economic policy democrats aim for is what matches best with history on the best policies to keep an economy stable and prosperous.
