Displaying 31 To 60 Of 222 Comments Ladies and Gents: The Real Ron Paul I believe in the evidence… What happened to your original comment???? » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 18, 2011 @ 12:35 pm He had editorial control over every, single one of those “newsletters”.. and his stances on government and his legislative record speaks for itself. Sorry, my friend.. he loves to prattle on about how responsible he is… so let him own these vile messages as well. He won’t (typical)… instead, after pulling in nearly $1,000,000 per year with this political pornography, neither Ron Paul nor his chief ghostwriter, Ludwig von Mises Institute founder Llewellyn Rockwell, Jr. want to admit their culpability. BOTH men DEFENDED this trash when it was first published, but now they want to “move on.” Tough. » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 18, 2011 @ 12:24 pm Include the hypocrisy… as Ron Paul voted YES to invade Afghanistan. » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 18, 2011 @ 11:51 am Thank you! It is so nice to see that I’m not alone in my amazement that this 3rd rate ‘standup’ (on his best day) has garnered not only credibility.. but actual gravitas amongst progressives. His show is only as good as its guest lineup.. the rest is pure prattle. Maher himself is dwarfed by most of his panels. He’s the luckiest schmuck in showbiz… having made a stupid remark and getting fired from ABC. He is an ignorant, arrogant hypocrite and spews all kinds of garbage about subjects he knows nothing about from history to medical science… and he has the audacity to compare himself to the likes of Lenny Bruce or George Carlin. He’s more in the realm of “Carrot Top”….. and that is on his better days. » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 17, 2011 @ 11:17 am Jeff Buckley http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=occPOuzLZuU&feature=related “Mama, you’ve been on my mind” (Dylan tune) » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 13, 2011 @ 9:33 pm The Rolling Stones http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpwibosWVpg “Think i’m Going Mad” » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 13, 2011 @ 9:31 pm The Rolling Stones http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZMc4fz7z5U “Think” » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 13, 2011 @ 9:30 pm Pixies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iC0YXspJRM&feature=related “Where Is My Mind?” » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 13, 2011 @ 9:25 pm Arctic Monkeys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30w8DyEJ__0 “Brainstorm” » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 13, 2011 @ 9:24 pm Dierks Bentley http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5067627506616345622 “What was I Thinkin’?” » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 13, 2011 @ 9:21 pm Tommy James & The Shondells http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIeRqPFJvXM “I Think We’re Alone Now” » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 13, 2011 @ 9:18 pm Napoleon XIV http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnzHtm1jhL4 “They’re Coming to Take Me Away (hahah)” » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 13, 2011 @ 9:15 pm Ladies and Gents…The Real Rick Perry! http://shapleigh.org/… » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 17, 2011 @ 10:33 am Unfortunately, to abolish the Electoral College (being that it is part of the “Constitution Proper”) a CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION would have to be convened… leaving open the ENTIRE DOCUMENT. In this current political climate and the fact that the Kochs and the Murdochs control the information disseminated today, it would be the most DANGEROUS tact to take. » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 14, 2011 @ 3:09 pm I predict that Texas will turn BLUE within a few years. » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 13, 2011 @ 2:06 pm I was unable to add this during my last “edit”.. so I’ll do it here as a comment: — — — — — — — — — And.. as Jesus healed the sick, Perry feels it is his righteous duty to ‘lay hands’ on every 6th Grade girl in Texas to begin undergoing a Gardasil vaccination series for the sexually-transmitted HPV virus… in fact, he issued an Executive Order in 2007 mandating just that… except it turned out to be a brother-in-law deal with his Merck lobbyist friends and former Chiefs of Staff. He also enacted a mandatory-sonogram-for-abortions law in Texas…. even for victims of rape and incest. This procedure must be accomplished via a procedure called a ”Transvaginal Probe”, in which a large “device” is wrapped in a condom and inserted into the vagina… basically a second rape, and it costs the patient between $100 – $400 to boot. I’m sure the Lord is reserving a special place in Heaven for his assistance. — — — — State budget cuts, championed by Mr. Perry to address a big budget shortfall, are prompting school districts around the state to lay off hundreds of teachers and other workers going into the school year starting next month. Those jobs seem to be expendable. What is not expendable, it seems, is the $25 Million in State funds so that Rick and his pal BJ “Red” McCombs (co-founder of the ultra-conservative, quasi-evangelical Clear Channel Communications) wants to build a (get this) Formula One Racetrack in Austin.. an additional $4 Million possibly coughed up by the city itself while “Formula One” is promoted nationwide. $25 Million could pay for 500 teachers at an annual salary of $48,000.00 » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 13, 2011 @ 10:51 am Let’s see… When 79% of the districts were reporting in, Sandra Pasch was leading by about 1,200 votes. When it was updated moments later with 82% reporting, Alberta Darling was leading by 4,000 votes. Do the math. The numbers don’t jive in District 8 for a shift of votes like that… 3% of votes cast would be a MAXIMUM of 3,000, NOT the 5,200 tallied. THIS IS NOT OVER BY A LONG SHOT. As Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Mike Tate said last night: “We hope the Waukesha County clerk’s office is doing the right thing tonight . . . But it is a little curious isn’t it. Here we are on the cusp of victory . . . and Kathy Nickolaus is sitting on our ballots.” … and in a press release a bit later after the miraculous “turnaround”: “The race to determine control of the Wisconsin Senate has fallen in the hands of the Waukesha County clerk, who has already distinguished herself as incompetent, if not worse. She is once more tampering with the results of a consequential election and in the next hours we will determine our next course of action. For now, Wisconsin should know that a dark cloud hangs over these important results.” Kathy Nickolaus.. Wisconsins “Katherine Harris” was at the center of this once more… and she is already under investigation for her malfeasance (fraud) in the WI Supreme Court debacle. If you put all the facts together, we replaced 2 seats with LIBERAL DEMOCRATS.. seats that were held by conservative republicans since the CLEVELAND ADMINISTRATION. Walker no longer has a working majority in the Senate. His extreme anti-worker bill passed by only 2 votes, thanks to 1 moderate Republican. Our 2 wins are game changing. If last night’s election was statewide, Democrats would have won in a landslide. We forced neck-and-neck races in Republican areas. In 2012, if Democrats achieve last night’s rate of success in Republican House districts, Speaker Nancy Pelosi will have a 274-seat majority. We sent a national message that when Republican politicians hurt working families, voters will punish them — even in Republican areas. We also proved that when Democrats stand strong for progressive principles — as Wisconsin Democrats did — they will be rewarded by voters and volunteers. Onward and UPWARD. » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 10, 2011 @ 6:47 pm Again, when Palin, Bachmann or anyone else in the political sphere “tweets”.. it ENDS up in the MSM as HEADLINES. Obama himself finally realized the power of the medium when he held his first “Twitter Q&A” a short time ago. FDR used EVERYTHING at his disposal.. and there were PLENTY newspapers and radio demagogues who railed against him.. Obama has to do the same thing.. granted more difficult, complex and ‘immediate’.. but essential nonetheless. » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 13, 2011 @ 5:24 am Sabreen6O.. “um, classy”?? Please don’t patronise me…. OK? What has the fact that he is the “First African American President” to do with it? He’s the PRESIDENT.. PERIOD, and he needs to FIGHT BACK.. He needs to to call these miscreants out onto the carpet of public scrutiny.. loudly, unapologetic, and unfettered by the obsequious cowardice that mitigates the true nature of the cancer that we are confronting. He needs to resurrect the concept of PUBLIC SHAME and direct it towards those whose sole mission is not only to destroy HIM.. but everything that FDR and the New Deal has accomplished. Obama himself lifted a meme from Roosevelt.. “Go Out And Make Me Do It”. Well, it is OUR responsibility as those who still believe in him to do JUST THAT.. and making excuses and refusing to OPENLY CRITICIZE is not only accomplishing nothing, it is raising failure to a self-fulfilling prophesy. » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 13, 2011 @ 5:19 am Correct… He has MORE of a “bully pulpit”.. the same one that the likes of Palin, Bachmann and the rest of the bagger degenerates use. THIS medium. » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 12, 2011 @ 8:07 pm So?? How is that a criterion? Why does anyone GIVE A SHIT what the “MSM and the Republicans” were claiming? As their stated agenda was to DESTROY him.. what did he have to lose by slinging their BULLSHIT right back at them? FUCK “decorum”.. he needs to STATE HIS CASE to the populous.. in terms that they understand. » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 12, 2011 @ 8:05 pm My post wasn’t all about policy.. it was about POLITICS. Obama, even as I was and still am an ardent supporter, is a MILQUETOAST when it comes to dealing with his opposition in the PUBLIC SPHERE. He is making the SAME mistake that FDR made in acquiescing to the forces stacked against him and, as FDR LEARNED, he also must take them to TASK… HEAD ON if he expects to prevail. So far, he hasn’t. » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 12, 2011 @ 7:59 pm POLITICS isn’t about expecting people to “do their homework”.. it is about doing their homework FOR THEM.. and, like it or not, the FIRE that Obama used to get elected was DOUSED once he was in office. I’m a supporter of the President, but he needs to know (as FDR did) that to get POPULAR SUPPORT, he needs to SPEAK UP in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS.. and he needs to do that in the realm of the POPULAR MEDIA. Otherwise, he is just preaching to the choir. » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 12, 2011 @ 7:54 pm Where is the FIRE that we saw during the campaign?? » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 12, 2011 @ 7:48 pm Brisket? Did ya say BRISKET????? peacekitten and I live in Hollywood.. my sister (religious Jew) makes the BEST brisket on earth (as well Potato Latkes).. but SMOKED BRISKET???????? {[{[{{[[slobber]}]}]}] JALAPEÑO MARINADE???????? {[{[{[{{{{{[{[{yummmmmmm}]}]}}}]}}}}}}} Nectar of the GODS…. (other than GARLIC and OLIVE OIL). How do we get these delectable miracles?? » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 12, 2011 @ 7:45 pm It’s not so much a historical comparison as it is how each man, faced with similar circumstances, dealt with them. » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 11, 2011 @ 5:49 pm Obama is probably the most erudite President SINCE FDR… yet he has yet to use the BULLY PULPIT other than campaigning or fundraising. » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 10, 2011 @ 9:47 pm http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=F60816F63A5414728DDDAD0994DA415B818CF1D3 » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 10, 2011 @ 9:46 pm I also feel that after he succumbed to polio (1921), he was depressed at first…. then humbled after living alongside a wide strata of society…. professionals, artists, dancers, bankers, lower-working class “white trash” and people of color while he was receiving treatment at Warm Springs (which he bought in 1926 and still operates as the ‘Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation’… then enabled (even as his paralysis never improved). He thought he was finished in politics… but his adversity gave him cause to want to fight for the “little guy”. That kind of strength comes from inside… background notwithstanding. » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 10, 2011 @ 8:20 pm Just below the original post. » Posted By BlueStateMan On August 8, 2011 @ 9:32 pmComments Posted By BlueStateMan
