ANOTHER SHINING ENDORSEMENT OF RON PAUL .... It's not just college kids anymore ... :clap: Most now realize ... this could be our last chance before it's too late ... and thus risk career and more to speak up . Judge Andrew Napolitiano of Fox News speaks out ... <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6IgTFHsUjoY&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6IgTFHsUjoY&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
Why should we listen to you when you said that Barak Obama was more corrupt than Karl Rove and Alberto Gonzales?
Your stupid list did. And don't try to say that members of the Bush administration don't count, because Scooter Libby was on it.
Did I write that list ? One of these days Rubi ... you're going to see I was much more a friend than a foe .... hopefully you'll put your anger aside and have a change of heart about me then .
Oh, and I've been a Libertarian since Ron Paul ran for president the first time, just not in that faggy, overbearing way that doesn't make sense.
For those of you of the MTV Generation .... Adam Curry speaks up about Ron Paul ... <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/G9WMdFhRAQM&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/G9WMdFhRAQM&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
obviously youve never worked construction, do you know the choas there would be with 15 competing firms each bringing in equipment and digging shit up to run their pipes, or lines or whatever itd be a nightmare, ive worked in new developments when trench digging and the like was going on for the running of gas and telecommunications, that was a big enough pain in the ass, cant even imagine, 5-10 different companies coming in with their equipment and their crews, all digging to high heaven, absolute nightmare in some cases, monopolies are preferable
Think of it this way. You would have the choice to hire one company to do everything, or you could save money and hire several.
i hire one company to do my gas, my neighbor another, his neighbor a different cable company from both of us, thats 3 different lines that need to be put in, in the span of less than a block, what a mess you see where this is going, much easier, construction wise, to have 1 provider soon you will only need 1 company anyways for all your needs as companies now offer tv and phone/internet service package deals, but still, construction wise would be hell wont happen anyways, the companies we have now are too established, with lines already in and huge customer bases, a new entrant would have a tough time
surprised you think thats a good idea then, but then again you OWNED the company, you didnt actually do any of the work
True to a point ... early on I was always a working owner .... the bottom line is this . The company that did the best work for a reasonable price always got the job. Jobs were plentiful and you'd reach your limit and it was on to the next best company/price ratio .... IMO this is a good thing for any company willing to do a good job.
</P> Adam Curry? There aren't enough smiley faces on this board. Thanks for your opinion, Adam. I guess Randy of the Redwoods was too busy to give his opinion. TFK
The world is a diverse rainbow of colors, attitudes and beliefs .... that a man like Paul can bring them together is a ... miracle I don't expect some of certain attitude or belief to see the beauty in that.
i agree, you should be willing and able to do a good job, just trying to actually work it out logistically would be pretty hard with several companies
Yeah, and Larry Craig's more corrupt than Alberto Gonzales and Karl Rove because he tapped someone's foot at an airport bathroom. ::
We could argue for a year who's more corrupt and never agree. Hell ... I didn't write the list and quite honestly , I'd have put a few on there that aren't. I just found it interesting that 4 that made the list are currently running for the highest political office in the country. :doh:
Has Fox News Excluded Ron Paul? On December 27, the Associated Press reported: "The New Hampshire Republican Party is sponsoring a forum for Republican presidential candidates on Jan. 6, two days before the state's first-in-the-nation primary." Later in the article, the AP stated: "Participating in the forum will be Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, John McCain, Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson." On the evening of December 28, Jared Chicoine and Jordan Brown of our New Hampshire campaign staff met in person with Fergus Cullen the New Hampshire GOP chairman to discuss whether or not Dr. Paul would be invited to participate in the forum. Mr. Cullen confirmed there will be an event on January 6, but he could not confirm whether or not Dr. Paul would be invited. We also learned the event would not be a debate with an audience, but instead would be a forum in a closed studio with the candidates questioned only by Chris Wallace of Fox News. A few hours after that meeting, we contacted Fox News seeking clarification. Later that night, we issued a press release while waiting to hear from Fox News. On December 29, the Baltimore Sun featured a report by Jason George. Mr. George reported, "Calls and emails to Fox News spokespersons by the Tribune were not returned Saturday evening. "An official at the New Hampshire GOP, which is co-sponsoring the event with Fox, said that Paul might still be included, but the planning for the debate was still coming together and it was ultimately Fox's call." As of late afternoon today (December 30), we have nothing more to report. Kent Snyder Chairman, Ron Paul 2008
[FONT=Garamond, Times] Ron Beats Rudy?[/FONT] [FONT=Garamond, Times]New Hampshire could surprise a lot of people.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Times] BY ANDREW CLINE Sunday, December 30, 2007 12:01 a.m. EST [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Times]MANCHESTER, N.H.--For several hours last Sunday, more than a dozen Ron Paul volunteers stood in snowdrifts in the rain outside the Mall of New Hampshire in Manchester waving at last-minute Christmas shoppers and handing out hundreds of yards signs.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Times]The campaign doesn't know how many people participated because, as with so many Paul rallies, this one was organized entirely by fans not officially associated with the campaign. [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Times]"We told them to take Christmas Eve and Christmas off, and next thing we know they're doing a sign wave at the mall," said Jim Forsythe, a self-employed engineer and former Air Force pilot from Strafford, N.H., who independently organizes volunteer efforts for Ron Paul.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Times]That spontaneous grassroots support is why Mr. Paul, an obstetrician from Lake Jackson, Texas, could pull off a stunner on Jan. 8 and place third in New Hampshire's Republican primary. If he does, he would embarrass Rudy Giuliani and steal media limelight from John McCain and Mitt Romney, who are battling for first place. [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Times][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Times]Many Republican operatives in New Hampshire, even those affiliated with other campaigns, think Mr. Paul is headed for an impressive, double-digit performance. That he has been polling in the high single digits for months is discounted, because the polls may be missing the depth of his support.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Times]Why? For starters, he appears to be drawing new voters. Polls that screen for "likely" voters might screen out many Paul supporters who haven't voted often, or at all, before. Many of Mr. Paul's supporters appear to be first-time voters. They will be able to cast their ballots because New Hampshire allows them to register and vote on the day of an election.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Times]Even Mr. Paul's New Hampshire spokesman, Kate Rick, is an unlikely political activist. She grew up in a political family in Washington, D.C. and says "I swore I would never work in politics." She changed her mind only after finding Mr. Paul, a candidate she says she can finally believe in. "Most people I know in the grass roots are like that," she said. "My closest friends have never voted before, and they're die-hard Paul people now."[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Times]There is another reason to discount the polls on Mr. Paul. The one thing that unites his supporters is a desire to be left alone, not only by government, but by irritating marketers and meddling pollsters, too. Mr. Paul's supporters might well be screening their calls and not-so-inadvertently screening out pollsters. Still, some observers of the primary race here downplay this support, noting that a lot of the activists who show up in news stories are not state residents and won't be voting.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Times]It is true that Paul supporters from New York, New Jersey and even California are prominent at campaign rallies. But volunteers and campaign staffers say that, although out-of-state volunteers often are the most flamboyant and can attend daytime rallies while local supporters are at work, they do not outnumber the locals. [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Times]"Ninety percent [of his supporters] are from New Hampshire," says Jared Chicoine, Mr. Paul's New Hampshire coordinator. Keith Murphy, a former Democratic campaign worker from Maryland who owns Murphy's Taproom in Manchester, has held several Paul rallies at his restaurant, which has become a regular hangout for the Paul crowd. When the candidate shows up, about 75% of the activists at an event are from out of state, he said, but on other nights it's about 50-50.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Times]Regardless of where they are from, organizing Mr. Paul's supporters is a challenge. "This is entirely grassroots oriented to the point that the official campaign structure seems almost lost, to the point that they don't know what to do with all these people," Mr. Murphy said.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Times]On their own initiative, and at their own expense, Paul volunteers hold rallies, print and distribute brochures and even purchase ads. "I pick up the paper and say, wow, there's an ad and it's not my ad," Mr. Chicoine told me.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Times][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Times]The buzz surrounding the Paul campaign is reminiscent of the grassroots campaign Democrat Carol Shea-Porter waged against Republican Rep. Jeb Bradley last year. Polls showed Mrs. Shea-Porter trailing by 19 points in October. With almost no money and no support from the Democratic establishment, she came from behind and beat the congressman 51% to 49%.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Times]Many are wondering if the polls are similarly missing Mr. Paul's momentum. Mrs. Shea-Porter and Mr. Paul have very different ideas about how to use the power of government, but both strongly oppose the war in Iraq. And Mrs. Shea-Porter ran last year as a fiscal conservative, so it's possible Mr. Paul could win over many Republicans who voted for her last year. [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Times]Mr. Chicoine and other Paul supporters say that, contrary to conventional wisdom, most of Mr. Paul's backers are Republicans, not independents. But everyone agrees that Mr. Paul draws an unusual mix of libertarians, fiscally conservative Democrats, conservative Republicans, home-schoolers, vegans, gambling aficionados, anti-abortion activists and others who want the government to butt out of some aspect of their lives.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Times]But will they get out to vote on primary day?[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Times]"I've never seen a group of people that are this energetic about a candidate," Mr. Murphy said. "It's something else." [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Times]That sentiment is shared by Republicans who have observed numerous New Hampshire primaries. The level of enthusiasm for Mr. Paul is remarkable, they say. It transcends the state's Libertarian base (about 4% of the electorate). And by many accounts, Mr. Paul's backers here are more energized and committed than are supporters of Mr. Giuliani, who may enjoy inflated poll numbers because of his celebrity status.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Times]National attention is focused on the horse races between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, and between Messrs. McCain and Romney. But the shy obstetrician from Texas could be the surprise story of the New Hampshire primary.[/FONT]
Absolutely ... and I informed many others of the situation , like yourself and got them to email or call as well. Everyone on my email list called or emailed them :clap:
