"Newt Gingrich, calling your bluff, do you really want to be president?"

"Noo..."

"Would you like to leave now and beat the rush out of the parking lot?"

"Thank you"

Haha.

Fizer, I really think you should lock and delete these threads.

doushibag, not only does noone give a fuck, you bring up these politics entirely in the context of some ron paul fundraiser. i dont have any problem with people discussing anything, politics, entertainment, whatever, on these boards, but i cant believe you cant tell the difference between 'anyone see community last night?' and 'community seasons 1 & 2 box set out 21st october!!!!! only $38.87 on amazon,
.com!!!!! catch community season 3 thursdays 9/10c nbc'

if you want to campaign for ron paul theres an entire section of the internet cordonned off for you: youtube comments, where everyone who has ever voted for him is always spamming with crap.

you arent offering your opinions in an open discussion of a topic, youre parroting talking points in unreadably long adverts for a political candidate. and you know that.

on a side note, my local ku klux klan chapter is holding a small fundraiser next saturday at the church, hope you can make it doushi. and dont forget to become a member of the communist party of america! [Link text]

Hmmm, you make a good point [WM] x... I guess that is an important distinction that I wasn't making. Perhaps I shouldn't have done that. I was over eager in that it's not just selling some consumer product, but a set of ideals and a man to support them.

Wow [WM] x so angry.Who cares who he likes? and how is this post worth getting this upset, i find your posts much more offensive.

If your an old guy nevermind i love angry old guys

I have to agree, you did come off as a staunch ron paul supporter to me..
Personally I don't mind the conversation, albeit I'll likely end up skipping over this thread, much like I do over Impaller Vs the World.. just because it's the kind of thing I don't tend to want to think about when I am visiting warlight.net in most occassions.

|> *Are we currently bombing your country? Do we seem to be considering it?*

How should we know? You're the Libertarian insider. Would the Netherlands be on your blacklist...?
Actually I think that, right now, Obama would rather bomb a rating agency than another country. :)
Seriously though, if you need that much money to *convince* people you're right, then you can't possibly *be* right.

actually i dont care at all, it was all a trojan horse for that community plug.

"if you need that much money to convince people you're right, then you can't possibly be right."

Unfortunately, I think winning a presidential election is not as much about being right as it is about being telegenic and saying what people want to hear, which is one reason Ron Paul can never win. He's old, and has a high voice, and says things people don't like.

I like Ron Paul very much, but I happen to think he's wrong about the role of Government in society. I think there are things the government can and should do. However I agree with him that it's gotten too big and that bloated corporations and non-declared wars in every corner of the globe are ruining us.

P.S. lol @ [WM] x and Guy Mannington and the rest of you funny guys.

Community is an amazing show and everyone should watch it.

I'd rather keep politics out of Warlight especially when talking about someone who has no chance at the nomination....looking at your Ron Paul (as much as I agree with about 40% of things you support). In short, watch Community, it's amazing, politics on Warlight is a bad idea and Ron Paul's campaign is fun to watch if you like watching the hindenburg explode in that old timie footage.

Community has been growing on me- although Chevy Chase is simple not funny.

Sorry, that was supposed to read "simply not funny".

Gaspumper, some of his earlier stuff was decent..
DerHabicht, The problem with running for president.. -*or really any political position*- is that the skills required to to receive the position.. are the complete opposite of the skills required to *be good* at the office

the guy we need for president is sitting on the 4th floor of that office building, hoping his boss won't come over and give him another boring speech about something the boss doesn't understand near as well as he the guy he's lecturing does..

|> The guy we need for president is sitting on the 4th floor of that office building...

Say, Perrin, on what floor would you happen to be right now...?

domenico - hes in his mothers basement

chase was part of the best bits of early snl, and he can trip over things better than anyone. interesting you should mention him since he is the ron paul of community.

OK, chase was funny in the past- he successfully carried "Fletch"- but he's just not funny anymore.

I hate all Republicans and especially Libertarians. They are the theoretical branch of the Right. I believe Government should protect people against consumerism. The trick-down economics has been discredited since Reagan. All Republican arguments are just so stupid sounding to me. They are so easy to discredit. They revolve around using catch phrases.

es absolutely Ron Paul being elected would diminish the USA's propensity to intervene in regional power struggles, which would mean that you'd both be less likely to have your country occupied by American troops, and you'd be less likely to receive support from those same troops if one of your neighbors was screwing with you. Having a world cop is a double-edged sword for sure.

And to all you people bitching about politics on Warlight - Get a grip, you opted in by clicking on the thread. If you don't like it, don't click on it. Personally I find it much more interesting than the standard "I got booted waah" and "Need help making a map" posts...

|>I believe Government should protect people against consumerism.

What exactly do you mean by that? How are you defining consumerism here?

Also before you say something like 'all republican arguments are so easy to discredit' I think it's important to note Ron Paul is unlike the others in many ways. So just because a group has a lot of disagreeable ideas doesn't mean someone within the group can't have a lot of good ideas and ones counter to the group in general even. Best to ignore 'republican arguments' and focus specifically on the individual at hand when making a counterpoint to why you're against someone as they're their own person. Paul in particular doesn't use catch phrases like the others which is one of his challenges as he tries to explain things out and in debates there's really not time for that. Whereas people like Herman Cain epitomize short canned lines.

Consumerism -- Let's that a libertarian would want to do away with government interference. Therefore, a libertarian wouldn't want the government telling him or her how to sell his wares to the people. As an example, you could create ad for cigarettes that target young people and use cartoon characters to do it. You can create ads that use very good psychological tricks on the brain to convince you that you need something you can't possible need. In a libertarian world, one is rewarded for using this freedom to create wealth for himself.

I don't know a single thing Ron Paul said. I do know that Buffett pays 15% in taxes which is a lot less then his secretary. She pays about 35%. (I'm sure you all heard about that.) I think that rich should pay MORE. That would be about 45%. Obama has damn near broken his back trying to get a tiny 3% increase on the rich. So, yeah, I probably won't be listening to anything Ron Paul or any other person from the Grand Old Party has to say (GOP).
