Now if only McCain could remove himself from Bush's Iraq rhetoric circa 2006.

Can that ruling be changed?

Will people (ala being happy with $3.75 gas) give Bush/etc extra credit if they actually do their job with a hurricane this time around?

That Alaska-is-near-Russia now counts for foreign policy credentials is the most laughable aspect of this campaign yet.

9-11 truther Kevin Barrett is running for the Libertarian Party nomination for my district's Congressional seat (Ron Kind, D, incumbent). He's in favor of social security permanence and a Canadian-esque health care system so I'm not sure he's really cognizant of the whole political party thing. He's quite the dumbass, really.

Obama might be a slightly better vote-getter than Mike Dukakis.

Is there oil in Alaska?

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9...;show_article=1 Did this guy even watch the speech? Oh well, it's just the AP, no scope of influence there! More Liberal Media bias.

CSPAN is so hard, though. It's like researching primary-source documents. Where's the guy to tell me how to think?

I think there's a channel or two where they actually broadcast these things without the dumbass commentary.

December 6. It's happening.

This has happened before. 20 years from Ron Paul's era of derision, another actual conservative will win the presidency. That conservative will then increase the government multi-fold. He will, however, finally capture a very withered Osama bin Laden.

No Republican split? During the RNC there will be a Ron Paul convention, in Minneapolis. It has sold about 10,000 tickets. There might be a slight split towards traditional small government in opposition to the biggest government in history that is espoused by the current GOP.

Sent to vs. took from?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...2601548_pf.html Alaskans like to think long and hard before entering the poll booth.

It was as good (and meaningful) as any speech that Bill ever gave.

Chris Wallace says tonight was a waste of time.

Do you not believe in freedom?

(Hopefully) people are getting wise to the GOP's tax rhetoric and actually want to elect a Democrat and keep some more of their money.

I'm going to the Ron Paul counter-convention in Minneapolis.

Do elaborate. I don't see why they felt the need to ruin his voice by overproduction and having him sing in a falsetto for some of the songs. The way he could stretch out a song and hold those notes was beautiful, and on this album it was like they decided they wanted to try something new, which ultimately failed. And Z isn't as good as It Still Moves. I'm not a huge fan of MMJ's studio stuff but they've been great every time I've seen them live.

A Liston punch from a Democrat, finally.

"I heard offshore drilling will fix everything immediately and, oh hey, I need to wipe off my shirt again."

Give it to Hopkins. They need it.

21 has worked so well, we should raise it to 31. Then we'll really get something done around here. We need to ban more stuff, too.
