Obama wasn't in the Senate in 2001 when the original bill was passed. The only person to whose vote was opposed was Feingold.

True enough, but honestly, that's quibbling. He voted in favor when he did have the opportunity to vote. In any event, let's try looking where his history is more established, in Illinois. Are you going to assert that he's actually clean?

Obama supported the SAFE act as an alternative. He wanted to change the PATRIOT act and expressed that he recognized the dangers but ultimately ended up voting on a compromise bill. Obama knew that the bill would be passed and the best use of his time would be to lessen the danger of the bill. He did however vote to filibuster Bush's version of the bill.

So, instead of voting absolutely according to conscience, he let himself be compromised, have I got that right? Why yes, yes I do!

Go ahead, write his name on a ballot one person will see before they throw it in a spoilt vote bin.

And, according to law, that vote should be recorded.

By you drawing a little box on your ballot in November, ticking it and writing Ron Paul next to it is basically saying 'I don't care about the legitimate candidates' I'm going to vote for who I want to be president.

You are demonstrating a slight misunderstanding of ballots and voting. There is ALREADY a little box with a blank area next to it where you are, by law, allowed to WRITE IN your candidate of choice and check the pre-printed box next to it. :mrgreen:

The thing most folks who write in candidates either don't appreciate or don't care about is that the person already meets qualifications for the position and they tend to use that space to make "objection" votes. Those are wasted votes that will be noted before being tossed.

Ron Paul is full of shit...I think you need to learn more about the history of our country instead of spending all your time watching those bullshit youtube videos...
ps...I really enjoyed Ron Pauls endorsement of the John Birch Society....dumbass

Wow, Bong. Your not giving yourself much credibility for me brother. First off you say that my melting ice postulate is wrong and I'm stupid for saying that, when in reality I'm sure you NOW know I was right. Than you say RON PAUL is full of shit, what a smack in the face. I would think you would take heed after schooling you in the "Global Warming" hoax thread.

Instead of saying RON PAUL is full of shit why don't you tell me some constituents that deem him "full of shit". I could say you literally have your head on backwards but my point is moot unless I can give ample supporting evidence. :mrgreen:

P.S. I think you need to learn more about the REAL history of our country and not just what the gov't only wants us to know. History is more profound than what they tell you in your high school textbooks.

You don't and shouldn't take everything as fact, but cross reference anything you are unsure of.......Make a difference! Spread the word!

The only thing you can do is call me stupid. I at least try and break things down to your level and explain to you why your misconstrued. You on the other hand have not brought up one valid rebut with me. All you can say is "your stupid".....

Bong, who are you trying to fool dude?

You never answer my questions I ask you. You my friend are stupid, I on the other hand have a stupid/silly RIU name but I'm very educated compared to a lowbrow like you. Get this, I can explain why I have the opinions I do.. Unlike you... :mrgreen:

Edit- Bong you never told me your conclusions about the ice water experiment I told you to do. I can only assume that I was correct and you are keeping your mouth shut about it so you don't look like a boob.

maybe Obama wants to be a war monger also...

Well, once your candidate becomes POTUS (and I think he will), increases our troop strength, begins the rhetoric regarding Iran and their WMD's (sound familiar?) and we invade...I hope you'll be there to support his efforts. As for me...I will have no part in supporting a candidate that has proven himself (through voting record)to strip the citizenry of their rights and has designs on Empire.

this is a glacier...as you can see it is not in the water....so when it melts it is going to change the water level...in your "experiment" if you added more ice to the glass it would raise the water level....

I concur and I understand what you're saying and do believe me when I say that I'm not telling you to "not" vote for Obama; I just don't believe that he's as great a candidate as many supporters believe him to be. I'd be willing to bet that there are many supporters of his that weren't aware of his past voting record. I do believe that he will take the Oval Office but I will vote my conscience regardless and cast my vote for Ron Paul.

I've honestly been thinking about it. The Canadians are peaceful people. I would rather deal with the cold winters than get drafted to fight in a war that is only benefiting the rich while gas prices still rise. The system is corrupt I tell ya...

not to mention amazing healthcare which is even offered to people who arent yet canadian citizens.

I mean i'm sure it has some downfalls... like long waits in dr. offices but fuck... I have to pay $85 for 35 pills of one medication that i have to take or I'll be sick :spew:

and thats only after battling for months to cut the cost back (it was $200 for 30 days before)

Good, good, good.... I want to be the first one to apologize for the miscommunication bong. You gave me the impression that my idea was false from this comment.

bongspit said:
heres an experiment for you guys to do. take a glass of water and put like four or five ice cubes in there(make sure the ice cubes are not touching the bottom of the glass). next mark the water level on your glass with a marker. wait until the ice cubes melt and then observe the water level. what you will observe is that the water level did not change after the ice melts.

your are playing devils advocate or something...right? you can't possibly be that stupid...

I didn't realize you were calling me stupid because the experiment was so simple... :lol:

Now the truth comes out...

hey dave......obama's the lesser of 2 evils in my eyes. we gotta try something different. no one said he'd "push" for decrim'.....just that he would not use the feds in that capacity. If this "American Empire" ain't workin for ya i hear the border to mexico goin that way is wiiiiiide open. Consider yourself fortunate....in alot of countries this board would not exist and if it did your last post woulda put youin the gulag or worse.

As a former military soldier (US Army) w/ a son currently serving in the US Navy, both my son and I are those that served to preserve those said freedoms that you enjoy. It is precisely the reason I am so critical of our "illustrious" elected officials and what they're doing to a country (and a flag) that I cherish so dearly. Have you served?

Have you looked into RON PAUL? This guy is different, RON PAUL seems to actually care about our rights to freedom and liberty. He protects our constitutional rights like no other. I highly recommend looking up RON PAUL.

RON PAUL REVOLUTION

superhighme · May 24, 2008

Ron Paul doesnt stand a chance even if i do like some of his ideals. its just not possible! but honestly if romney stayed in the race and it came down to a romney/obama battle i planned to vote mitt in and I NEVER VOTE REPUB! but seriously... I have no idea who to vote for because I dont really like any of the runners much. but if i had to choose i'd pick clinton. she wont make it i dont think. but hey more power to her for toughing it out for the long haul!!

I would write in but thats just a wasted vote. guess we'll wait and see how things play out!

We TaRdED · May 24, 2008

I'm not sure how much my vote counts for anyways. Look at what happened in Florida.

My point being is- that I would rather support for RON PAUL even though he is going to lose because I believe people should at least know what he stands for.

Why would I go around advocating Obama when he talks a lot about changing america but he doesn't know how many states are in the USA.YouTube - Obama Claims He's Visited 57 States Obama voted for the patriot act, Obama wants to increase our troops another 60K, Obama is a good preacher about change but he doesn't tell us how he plans on implementing it.

I know where I stand with RON PAUL. I know what he stands for and what he plans to do fix America. Why play the game that is biased from the media, why not advocate who you honestly believe in.

If you research RON PAUL you will know why I have my beliefs.

I know who ron paul is.
my point is what is voting for him going to do??
yeah the florida thing was fucked but you have to realize the bush family are snakes in the grass and at the time Jed bush was doin his thang down there and of course wanted his bro to win office.
but voting for someone who isnt a front runner candidate is just throwing your vote away.
yeah none of the front runners at this point are really exactly what anyone wants, but honestly theres flaws in every president. Im not an obama supporter and honestly i have no idea who I will vote for, but i know that if it comes down to the two primary candidates I'll vote for the democrat because by voting 3rd party Im pretty much saying I DONT CARE!!
but hey. its your vote. throw it away if you want. might as well not vote at all!

it wont make much difference and going to the polls will just be a waste of time in your case!

As someone who cares, and cares deeply (enough to have tried dipping my own toe into the political pool once), I find that I still somewhat resent it when people tell me that I am 1) throwing my vote away and, 2) that I don't care, or care "enough", because I choose to vote the way I do.
