    in that respect, i agree with wallstreet almost 100%.


    that being said, rand paul is currently number one in the preseason ClubDirtSpoirts.com presidential endorsement rankings 
    Clubdirt, Listen… I’m not saying you’re wrong but hear me out on this… Yes - it takes money - we all know it- pretty much everyone knows it…

    Look around - the country is in the image of Obama. Every president before him it was the same thing. The country was a reflection of the president.

    I hear people say that the country will be the same no matter if Hillary is in charge or Rand is...

    If that is true - my rebuttal is - if the wealthy and powerful powers that be are in charge of everything - then why does the country reflect the personality, character, and political philosophy of the president in charge at the time?

    Killer_B, Communist Alinsky admirers are everywhere. Reading Alinsky’s book opened my mind to their techniques.

    Try to take on the powers that be and do what you honestly feel is right for the average person in the US and around the world and you'll get your head blown off at a parade in Texas. 
    Detox, Obama is the worst president in US history. All presidents before him at least loved the United States. Obama not only hates the US and everything about the US but is also helping the enemy and sympathizes with the enemy. 

    I’ve read and watched everything I possibly could on the JFK assassination. I once was a believer in the conspiracy. After devoting an incredible amount of time on the subject - I came to the conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald was a nutcase.

    What exactly does this mean?   To what timeframe do they want to take it back to?   I've heard this said for a while, still haven't gotten an answer to the follow up question.    

    BWS77, "I want my country back" is a subjective phrase. I can only give you my opinion on what I think that it means. It doesn’t mean a specific time in history.

    I think it means that a Patriot wants the country to be given back from the Communists and Loyalists who now rule America.

    I’ve read and watched everything I possibly could on the JFK assassination. I once was a believer in the conspiracy. After devoting an incredible amount of time on the subject - I came to the conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald was a nutcase.

    I think it means that a Patriot wants the country to be given back from the Communists and Loyalists who now rule America.


    What it should mean is a Patriot wants the country to be given back from banks and corporations who have ruled America for a long time.

    Obama and the democrats pulled the biggest con in history. I feel foolish for falling for their tactics. I feel like I’ve been in a hypnotic slumber - and *snap* - I feel wide awake now.

    "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
    - Abraham Lincoln

    Obama is the Jim Jones of presidents.

    Rand Paul has to win. He might be another puppet... I don't know? What I do know is Hillary is definitely NOT the answer.
     

    Did you read 7 books  ?

    or 

    Did you smoke 7 grams of weed ? 

      Obama and the Democrats did not pull the biggest con in history

    You need to put Obama's election into context

    Back in 2008 American people could either vote Democrat or re-elect another Republican.  McCain and Sarah Palin ? 

    The ill-conceived, ill-executed, and ill-fated Iraq invasion and occupation  had terrible consequences not just for Iraq but for many other countries (ISIS , ISIL, ..etc)

    It was the Democrats election to win after 8 years of Republican Administration

    Hillary Clinton would have won 2008 Election if she had gotten the Democratic nomination.

    You can blame the Republican for making it easier  for the Democrats to win.

    Neocons and Tea-Party fight for the control of GOP did help Obama get re-elected

    2016 does not look any better . What do the republicans have to offer ?

    I am no fan on Newt Gingrich but he was spot on  

    “I would bet for most of you, you go home in the next two weeks while your members of Congress are home and you look at them in the eye and you say, ‘What is your positive replacement for Obamacare?’ and they will have zero answer,” Gingrich told state party chairs, activists, and operatives at the Republican National Committee summer meeting. “We are caught up right now in a culture – and you see it every single day – where as long as we are negative, as long as we are vicious, as long as we can tear down our opponent, we don’t have to worry, so we don’t.

    money, i'm not saying things would be the same with one president over another.  i agree there are some differences.  but i think the only way to attack the significant problems is to address the money in politics issue, the buying of politicians for millions to billions, depending on the level of the politicians.  and as walsstreet and i have said before, there's so much of that in just about every race, from local politicians to national, i have no idea how that ever changes.

    “This is a very deep problem,” he added. “I’m being totally candid with you.”

    Gingrich’s message at a luncheon on the first day of  the RNC meeting was to stay positive and deliver alternatives to Democratic policy instead of just attacks. 

    He recalled that the GOP was able to block “Hillarycare” in 1994 because they had a “positive alternative approach” to health care.

    “We need to build a new model of Republican answers that starts with the health system we need and [then be able to say] that’s why I’m against Obamacare – in that order,” Gingrich said. “We need to get away from this, ‘I’m against Obamacare,’ and then stop – and that’s all you have to say.”

    ilsp2003, the election of Obama had nothing to do with McCain or the republicans. What the election of Obama proved is that propaganda sells.

    People ask how was a man like Hitler chosen to be the leader of Germany. The answer is running a slick propaganda campaign that the people will be hypnotized with.

    Obama and the democrats followed the same formula as Hitler, Mao Zedong, or Fidel Castro to win over the population. The propaganda posters, the slogans, the rhetoric, Obama and the democrats used is almost identical to Hitler, Mao Zedong, or Fidel Castro propaganda.

    The people naively handed over their lives to the democrats. The population had no clue that they just voted for a socialist, communist, closet muslim, america hating radical activist to be their messiah.

    Don, for once I agree with you. No one is going to defeat the loyalists that bow down to their all knowing democrat leaders.

    People like you depend on your masters to tell you what to feel, what to think, what to read, how to feel, feed you, shelter you, clothe you, heal you, protect you etc.

    All hail our great king Obama... Queen Hillary will pamper the loyal peasants for their blind loyalty.

    Clubdirt, let’s say Rand does prostitute himself out to win the national election. What’s to happen if he comes clean about it - once elected? What’s to happen if he defies all those who paid for his service? What would the powers that be do about it? The only way power remains is in secret.

    If there is a secret group of men pulling the strings I find it hard to believe they would risk being exposed? Keeping the public in the dark is the only way to keep the machine going. If the public was made aware of what is allegedly going on the country would revolt just like the revolutionary war. It changes when someone takes a stand and speaks out about it.

    Detox would believe that Rand would be "taken out" like the JFK conspiracy

    I just read up on this Jim Webb character... I find him interesting.

    i'd love to see it.  he'd be larger than life. 

    Take away his comments about marijuana legalization and show me anything that suggests he isn't a far right winger.

    this was pretty impressive to me.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-watch/wp/2014/07/25/rand-paul-introduces-bill-to-reform-civil-asset-forfeiture/

    i know marijuana and civil forfeiture are not necessarily the critical issues of the day and i always need to give the disclaimer that i haven't smoked pot in about 3 years (i even still call it pot), but they are important ideological issues to me for reasons you can probably guess.


    but yeah, that's all i've got for now.  i'm not sold on him, and i'm highly skeptical but i have to give him credit for these so far.   i mean, obama started out his administration with the DOJ raiding medical marijuana dispensaries that were legal under state law.  what the hell was that about?

    I've never been a rand fan. I've said more than once that rand is no ron.
