Can he win?
Would you vote for him?

IF RAND PAUL FILES TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT
http://www.fec.gov/fecviewer/CandidateCommitteeDetail.do?candidateCommitteeId=P40003576&tabIndex=1
Oops, that should be ran for President as a Libertarian in 1988.
Admin, 1988 really?… and where was he in 2012? Nuff said.
Lesser evil, still evil
As if anyone is going to vote to end their own way of life, and that is where we are now.
And finally, Twain knew it over a hundred years ago, if voting mattered, it would be illegal. I’ll even throw in a Soviet Reformer’s adage of voting doesn’t matter, counters matter.
Yep, that about sums it up. Nobody that could fix it can get to that level. Nobody votes to cut their own throat. All good things come to an end, we just didn’t realize that the end started when secession was outlawed and the original agreements with the colonies voided by war.
Happy Freaking Friday!
Thanks to all for the support. Sometimes you just can’t fix stupid!
If you vote you’re a dumbass. It only encourages them and gives legitimacy to a fascist system.
Even if Rand tried to do anything that threatened the PTB he’d end up like JFK and you know it. You’d be responsible for his death by voting him into office.
If anybody still suffers under the delusion that a president can turn this thing around you can’t be trusted to go through life without supervision.
Ron was the last man I ever voted for. And the last time I’ll ever vote again.
Rand isn’t worthy to stand in his fathers shadow (as a politician).
Would Rand listen to his father? Don’t know. If so, I’d vote for him. Re: global warming> the brother of my ex runs the national snow and ice center in Colorado. He’s a good guy who would agree with much of the sentiment expressed on this site. He is the dude who has the best first hand look at all satellite weather data on the poles etc. Plus he’s spent a lot of time in the arctic and is one very smart fellow. He also has resisted political pressure from politicians to reach any conclusions about global warming. Alas, He is now convinced of the human impact and the reality of warming. Ironically, global warming can make specific areas much colder simply by shifting weather patterns though of course climate does happen anyhow without our contribution. If the gulf streams shifts for example, England will freeze its ass off while the planet warms. Of course the usual suspects will use GW for their own nefarious purposes, but I’m afraid you can add warming to the growing list of looming disasters. Hence I take no consolation from the two feet of snow which is still outside my window.
Just came in from shoveling. The ten day forecast through to the end of March has highs in the low 40s.
Please tell me how the globe is warming. I love those stories. And what are we going to do to change anything the earth chooses to do? Stop driving vehicles? Stop heating our homes?
We are fleas to the earth.

I have no idea why Admin cannot grasp the simply concept that increasing tempatures cause more snow and ice. Here’s the formula
Increase in mean temp = increase in snow and ice.
So next winter as this problem continues to spiral out of control Admin will be balls deep in snow from Oct – April. I suggest we take up a special Global Warming collection for him and buy him a snow blower. What says you?
Here, study this satellite photo

“I have no idea why Admin cannot grasp the simply concept that increasing tempatures cause more snow and ice.” ———– Sensetti
1. So why isn’t there snow in the Sahara?
2. What about the Dinosaur Age … when things grew really really big … and the entire earth was QUITE WARM , even at the poles? Where was all that snow?
3. If increasing temperatures cause more snow and ice, then is the opposite true? That DECREASING temperatures cause LESS snow and ice? Doesn’t even the question seem silly?
Lemme see if I understand your argument.
—- 1. Increasing temperatures cause more snow and ice.
—- 2. Decreasing temperatures cause more snow and ice.
—- 3. Therefore, no matter what the temperature we will always have more snow and ice.
I love logic whereby one can NEVER lose an argument regardless of the position taken!
Hopefully, you were just kidding.
Stuck
I believe Sensetti was being sarcastic.
Oh. Well fuckmedead.
My sarcasm meter is broken due to IU’s loss yesterday. I’m arguing with a bunch of fucknut assholes on the IU boards that Clappy NEEDS TO GO.
You know what too many of them say?? “I’ll support IU’s coach no matter what!!” After 7 fucking years of abject mediocrity?? fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuckmedead.

Just like real life … Amurikans reelecting Bushes and Clintons and Pelosis and Joos reelecting Netenyajoo ….. gotta support your leaders, even if they’re wolves.
To quote Charlie Brown; I love humanity, it’s people I hate.
Global Warming is the product of a bad acid trip Al Gore went on.
Ron and Rand both understand that it is impossible to achieve the presidency outside of the two-headed monster. I think Rand perceives that his dad expressed views so far out of the mainstream GOP line that he was not taken seriously. He was either ridiculed or shunned. Rand is trying hard to be both an outsider and play the political game. It can’t be done. He either toes the line or he’s toast.
They (scientists) tell me that during the Wisconsin glacial period some 22,000 years ago the seacoast off of present day Long Island extended out some 100 miles beyond it’s present configuration and that Manhattan was buried beneath a glacier nearly 2,000 feet thick. According to another group of scientists we are informed that the first humans to inhabit the continent of North America crossed over the Bering land bridge roughly 10-12,000 years ago, meaning that whatever warming was responsible for melting those glaciers on the east coast it definitely wasn’t man made.
Knowing this we must ask the following questions:
Is global climate change a fundamental reality of life on planet Earth?
If so, does it matter what the causes are?
Are current changes, even if 100% the result of human behavior, manifestly different than those caused by other factors?
Given that global warming is portrayed as manifestly “bad” for the Earth, would climate scientists offer that the end of the Ice Age was a bad thing?
Here’s the thing, for those who are scientists as well as lay people like myself. Our planet is a rocky sphere circling a burning gaseous star in the middle of space and people are freaking out over a 1-2 degree change in annual temperatures. That is the most collosal blend of of ignorance of what and where we are in the bigger picture and irrational fear mongering in the face of what we know about the past than has ever been put forth in the history of mankind, bar none. I can think of one hell of a lot more dangerous things that we have done to alter the planet in ways that can never be mitigated (depleting the planet’s known oil reserves for our exclusive use in little more than a century despite not really knowing what role it might play in a whole host of areas, like plate tectonics) for example.
Science in the present era is so hubristic, so puffed up with vainglory, so intimately tied to the funding sources of government and industry, so school marmy and pearl clutching at any suggestion that they might not be 100% unbiased and forthright in the face of mountains of evidence to indicate their duplicity and fraudulence in a host of disiplines and theories that to NOT question their veracity screams “I’m an imbecile, please tax me!”.
Climate change is real, but it’s also natural and anyone who wants the Earth to remain static will wind up sorely disappointed in the long run.
I donated to Ron Paul what for me (a true cheap shit) was a substantial sum of money, and shortly after that Ron Paul and Bernanke had a private meeting and a few days later Ron Paul dropped out of the race. As I said at the time I would have given anything to have been a “fly on the wall” at that meeting.
We will never know what is really going on. What we really need to know is all the behind the scenes deal making, but yea good luck with that.
HSFARMER says: Climate change is real.
It sure is, I’ve been watching it change from one week to the next my whole life.
