What is so awsome about (none / 0)
being pissed  the WHOLE COUNTRY IS PISSED

Now if he came up with a viable plan to help us get out of this mess

I would be impressed.

Ron Paul is anti goverment

That is definitely not the right way to go at this time in history.

And stop parroting this gov based on the constitution bull shit. The conservatives have been saying that for years. Look where it got us.

I think you are being too dismissive.... (none / 0)
Ron Paul is very different from most republicans because I can actually believe what he says. He's taken stances that are very unpopular among his party and it's clear to anyone that has followed him for a while that he believes what he does because he thinks it will be beneficial to the American people. Whether or not he is right on specific issues or not is another subject but he is definitely a rational person who would bring another point of view to the table. And that's what Cenk said he wanted. A lot of republicans claim to be clinging to the constitution but few are. Their words and deeds don't match. Of course Ron Paul is far from perfect but he does a much better job of matching words to actions. So you shouldn't just dismiss him because he says he sticks to the constitution and you've heard that line used a thousand times before.

he doesnt lie... and? (none / 0)
He is a libertarian  

I understand his views

Of course Im being dismissive

He wants to deregulate everything

He thinks public parks are socialism

He thinks the gov has no place

I really dont care what he thinks is beneficial any more than I would care what Tom Delay thinks is beneficial.

What does sticking to the constitution even mean?

Its a ridiculous on its face.

I dont find his views rational at all

"I understand his views...

 Contradictory statement leads one to believe you do not understand Ron Paul's views.

Please Cenk help us out. Until then go here.

And.... (none / 0)
Not lying is a great quality especially in a politician and almost unheard of in a Republican. He doesn't believe in no government, he believes in small government and yes he believes no regulation and I'm not saying I agree with his views but he at least explains how he thinks he could make small government and less regulation work as opposed to just repeating those two phrases over and over with nothing to back it up. There's no point in having a debate with a republican who you agree with, it kind of defeats the point of debate.

Crackers welcome. (none / 1)

Cenk's Mark Hanes rant was awesome because it help explained the total scam being perpetrated on this country by Wall Street and it's public relation firm; CNBC. It was simple and direct enough so even a bird brain could get it.You will never hear this rant on msnbc. Ed Schultz does not have the passion the young turks display. Roll Cenk roll.
The statement "Ron Paul is anti government" is your opinion not an empirical fact and I disagree. Being for a constitutional based government is not anti government it's pro individual. My opinion is a limited federal government is the way to go. Saying we need a constitutional based government wont do anything. It has to be implemented for it to work. Neither the Republican or Democratic party wants to follow the Constitution. It would choke off their power and cash flow. Now, I can't say definitely because I have made mistakes before and likely will again. That is why I'm here for another viewpoint. I like to decide for myself after weighing all known options.
G N' R suck: not an empirical fact only my opinion but my heart is true. 322/400

Don't believe a fuckin word I say. (none / 1)
I do not post here to to win your confidence or any argument. I want you to question every word I post. I want you to think of my posts as a search for the truth and not an argument to be won or lost. For most of our lives the corporate controlled mainstream media has warped how we think about the most important issues that impact our very survival. We have much work to do to free our minds from the chains that limit what we think. We all need to do the basic in depth research necessary to fully understand these knotty issues; sparing opinions do not count. If you are really interested in Dr. Paul's approach to the economy read his many articles posted on this site. Again, do not believe what I say about them. I could have a hidden agenda and be lying to manipulate how you think. All opinions are not equal. To judge them properly is a difficult and never ending search. Once you think you know the Truth the chains will blind you once again. We owe it to those that follow to do our best. Why else are we here? Oh! wait, it might be because Ana is soooo hot!!
