   And he’s proud that he didn’t vote - makes one wonder what he’s been paid or these last few years. Oh I forgot - he’s using our dime to run for POTUS!

   Wow, Paul, two misses. McCain’s been out of the votes for four months longer than Obama. And he’s using more public money than Obama!

   George Carlin used to describe the “Owners” as the shadowy elite who own the world, whether they bought it or stole it, they own it and we just live here. It’s a very small club and, “You’re not in it!” The Owners will forever be placing these midgets in our path, to cause us distraction and bewilderment, we watch them knocking each other over the head with rubber mallets while we make the “big decision” for who to vote for.

   If I’m not mistaken, his salary is paid with our tax dollars - Must be about $20,000 or $30,000 worth of votes we’ve got from his during his entire term in the Senate! It is our dime, and John did go to his senate job when it appeared necessary - more than can be said for “call me if you need me”. Like anyone would ever need him!

   Man, Paul, try again. McCain missed four months more votes than Obama. And both came back, for the record. (McCain, after that nasty crack about “phoning it in,” spent most of his time…phoning. Yes, it’s on video, and announced by his campaign.)

   In one of his very few visits to the Senate lately, Obama voted to continue the unwarranted wiretapping of any or all Americans. McCain promises war without end, amen. Both of these creeps are traitors. To extoll the virtues of either of them is akin to the effect of Stockholm Syndrome.

   RR: Are you proposing a third party?

   For all those people who voted for Nader because there was “no difference” between Gore and Bush – boy, were YOU wrong.

   I see only one party, MM. The Democrats and the Republicans are one and the same. The only candidate who’s focus was keenly upon the Constitution was Ron Paul, who inconsequentially, is a Republican. Paul was the only candidate to cut right to the root of the BIG PROBLEM, which is the enslavement of the American people by the Federal Reserve. He was soundly ignored by the media. During the debates, while he was speaking, the camera would fix on the faces of the other Republicans, who were shaking their heads and rolling there eyes heavenward. All of this while he was explaining how to solve the problem. It’s a tragedy that he was ignored because it was a rare opportunity for us to reflect upon the results of almost 100 years of financial tyranny wielded upon us by this private banking corporation that creates money out of thin air and then charges us interest on every note. If Obama, or McCain, continues to play patty-cakes with our slavemasters, then expect nothing different at all…. change??? What a laugh!

   While I admit Ron Paul is a gutsy guy, he is also aligned with the John Birch Society and spoke at their 50th anniversary dinner. I’ve got some problems with someone who wants to take us back to Jeffersonian Republicanism (and rejects democracy in the process).

    I dunno, in which would you rather ‘Not-Have-a-Voice’?

    Ron Paul was by far the superior candidate. It doesn’t matter which group he spoke before, because every group he addressed heard the same message… we must return to the basics of the Constitution. Which, by the way, did not provide that our money would be created anyone else but our own government. When Benjamin Franklin walked out of the Convention Hall, a woman called out… “Dr. Franklin, what have you given us?” He replied… “A Republic, if you can keep it.” The vultures were circling on day one. To reply to your suggestion, I will endorse any one who promotes the tenents of the Constitutional Republic. The word democracy does not appear anywhere in the document.

    My question was to Mr. 2000’s panel.
    As to me, Jefferson was right!

    RR -
    The problem is who decides what the “Constitutional Republic” is. The Founding Fathers (and probably Abigail Adams, too) would have been horrified at the “Christianization” of their stands. And let’s face it, a largely rural country significantly supported by slavery isn’t exactly a shining example in today’s world.
    Ironically, Jefferson had the most highflown prose about democracy, and acted on it considerably less than Adams, who was tempted towards monarchy on occasion (as regards Washington), but worked his own farm into his eighties.

    You know, MM, debating the America that once was or reflecting upon the morals of the key players of the times will produce nothing at all. The Constitution is in place, which I truly believe is a recipe for nirvana. It is a tight leash held upon the government, but unfortunately, We The People dropped that leash long ago. The public servants who pledge their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution might as well be reciting “Be-bop a-re-bop a-rubarb pie” because they have no clue what any of the words mean, nor do they care. And, all of this was planned anyway through the creation of slave-mind mentalities who are groomed in our government sanctioned schools. The biggest story in the news, to me, is the world-wide collapse of the financial systems, and the encrouching movement for government to possess those “failed” enterprises. This is leading to one world order, one world bank, one currency, and global slavery. The corporate elite continue to fabricate one crisis after another, and then they spell out what the next solution will be. It’s always more restriction, more control, and less liberty.

    RR -
    You missed my real point. Let me make it clear: the JBS claims to support the “real” Constitution. If you don’t know what it is, you can’t defend it. I don’t trust the JBS’ interpretation. Talking about the “one world order” stuff is hilarious to me, given my experience traveling all over the world (in the past year or two: UK, France, Netherlands, Denmark, Hungary, Australia, China [and Hong Kong], Singapore, Canada, Spain, Portugal, Austria). We are all interconnected (as the banking disaster shows), but no one’s calling the shots.

    I agree entirely. If you don’t know what it is you can’t defend it. Unfortunately, the vast majority of Americans do not know what the Constitution is. And more deadly than that, those who are required to swear an oath do not know what it is either. George Bush called it, “just a goddam*” piece of paper.” Back to Jefferson, and I truly don’t care who he was boinking, but ol’ Tom said, “When the people fear their government it is tyranny. When the government fears the people it is liberty.” The essential malady is that the government has no respect for the people, and mostly disdain. And the people truly fear the government. In that situation, there is no Constitution. There is no way that we can access it. It is only paid lip service by politicians and judges when they are attempting to save face. As for the one world order, I hope what you perceive in your travels is accurate. It would be a lovely thought to truly know that this world is beyond ultimate control, but to me, events point continually towards that objective goal.

    Regarding the John Burch Society, just because Paul spoke at their assembly does not necessarily mean he’s expousing their beliefs. And the JBS doesn’t hold any entitled corner on an interpretation of the Constitution. Candidates will stand in front of just about anybody so that they can be heard. But oftentimes that group will get all excited thinking that the candidate is embracing and subscribing to their group-think. Bush visited Jones University but it doesn’t mean that he loves Jesus or hates black people.
