it's really disappointing that Ron Paul wasn't popular to make it through the primaries. he was seriously the best candidate i can think of for atleast the past few decades and probably more. i know he doesn't have a chance but i'm still writing him in with hopes that enough people do the same so that he atleast gets some sort of acknowledgement and maybe even a better chance for the next election. if anybody doesn't know about him, check out his policies on youtube sometime. i guarantee about 99% of the people on this site would completely agree with his policies.

I'm just going to ask you to reconsider writing his name in. Since he's no longer running, votes for him probably won't even be counted. Instead I ask that you research other third party candidates and place your vote for one of them.

Negative. I have spent a lot of time studying world religions as well, both in and out of college. There is no doubt about it, Islam is probably the most violent major religion in the world. Not that Christians have not perputrated thier share of violence, but Islam MANDATES it. Read the Koran. It strictly charges members to kill anyone that does not convert. Forget the thing in there about peace, because at the very begining, it says anything that was written later in the book that contridicts anything earlier in the book is null and void, take the word of the more recent one. The Koran takes a pretty violent turn for the worst about half way. You have been sadly misinformed or misled if you think it is a peaceful religion. By design it is meant to be violent. Don't get me wrong, there have been some really violent and terrible things done in the name of Christ, but nowhere to the extreme or amount as Islam.

ok, you feel that way. That is fine. But unless you provide some evidence as to why what I said was unitelligent or misinformed, you are just talking ****. No one talks about the numerous networks we have found out here saying they were/are planning on commiting Jihad in the states and the UK. No one talks about the fact that we found A LOT of yellow cake (the only use for it is for nuclear weapons, and Sadamm was forbidden by the UN from having it) that we just shipped out of here in July. No one talks about the NUMEROUS chemical and biological containers and war heads I saw with my own eyes out here when I was in Fallujah in 2006. I already spoke of the Islam stuff in another post so I am not going to say it again. Back up why what I said was wrong, and I will probably respect your opinion, but for the mean time, you are just making statements that mean about as much to me as something I would see on Sci Fi.

You need to do some more research and you will find that EVERY religion can be translated to show hate towards others.
The first example that come to my head is a passage in Romans (Christian/Catholic) bible that was translated to say God hates and will send gay people to hell.
The problem is people use God as a reason to hate, and to others it will make them more appealing and respectable. And no offense, but everytime someone who knows nothing of another's beliefs makes a stupid accusation like you did, doesn't help either. And I don't want to get into this here and have the thread shutdown, so if you want to trade facts/ideas you can pm me.

A cult leader.. WTF.... Where not in shambles? U sound like a Bush supporter.. How about U jus go jump off a cliff.. Only thing Im blind to is the propaganda are main stream media tries to feed us daily..We have a major bailout coming that we have to pay for because of bad decisions or jus plan disreguard for good biz ethics so some jerkoff ceo could get his couple mill bonuses and cash out our economy.. We have a silent standoff going on with a country who is economically stable with a massive military.. Our country has ran off track from the course that was set by our founding fathers that its damn near impossible to take it back.. And Im the one thats dumbing people down. lol..

Cult recruiter NO Constitutionalist YES!

Ok with the world watching and Bush looking like a tard why wouldnt of all things this u speak of come to light? U maybe confused.. If ur speaking of the concrete containers that was halfway burried around 20 them that there locals where using as wells and kids growing 3 arms from.. Thats not weapons that was nuclear waste that was over 10yrs old .. Other then improper disposing and health risks to the people living around it . It in no way was a weapon and was years from even possiblly being one..

i agree.. ron paul would have had my vote.

if things pan out the way that recent events have given promise to, i expect the economy to take a nice rebound, the government may make a decent profit off the bailout and the public will associate the rebound with obama (assuming he takes office).
somehow this doesn't seem all that unfamiliar.

i don't honestly think that obama = change. he's just another politician with promises that is feeding off everyone's desire for change.

No, that just means that McCain is doing his JOB! He is running for president, but he still is being paid $160k a year to be a senator, he was only going to do what we pay him for.

Unlike Obama, who basically said "Give me a ring if ya'll need me!"

the major bailout is because of the democrats and clinton, that is when it was all started. and the democracts run the senate also. Which really actually have more power then the president. I dont really like macain but i choose the lesser of 2 evils. Atleast mccain has experince. Obama is a done nothing jr. sen. Obama is a wouldn't it be nice canidate. Bunch of promises but a load of bs. Obama doesnt want to go to washington and try and help because he has no idea of what to do. Also why is everyone trying to compare Obama to Palin. Palin is vp, even the republican vp palin has more experince then the democratic pres nomination. Also biden thats another story. He has a big mouth he always puts his foot in.

Kind of like how he was talking about great leaders, and how during the Great Depression, Franklin D Roosevelt got on national TV and showed good leadership!?! LOL, I'm still laughing over that! Too bad nobody hears about that. If Palin said that, she'd be forced off the ticket.
