"Guys like Ron Paul"? Can you tell me one person who is like Ron Paul?

Daydramin, I invite you to get educated about Ron Paul. He has indeed done that, and continues to do that. In fact, he is a lone voice doing just that.

Worse than Bush? I cannot fathom that. And I have very specific, concrete reasons for feeling that way about Bush. He did things that were unprecedented. So it's not some blind hatred because he's a Republican, like so many who hate the other party's guy just because they identify with their own party, so the other guy must be a bad guy. I have no party affiliation.
Even so, I have no illusions that Bush did all that stuff. He was just the puppet and doesn't get all the blame. So it's ridiculous to hate him. He too is an other-self. Whoever is in office, isn't necessarily responsible for what his administration does. He's just the puppet. Obama too is a puppet, though perhaps not as blatantly as Bush.
The difference is, in my opinion, that Obama didn't intend to be a puppet. Whereas, Bush was a puppet from the start. This is my opinion based on my own observation and is entirely subjective.

Respectfully, I have no interest in an "insult Obama or Bush" contest. Such comments lack substance. I fail to see any comparison between Bush and Obama so I don't want to participate in that.

Obama didn't vote 'for' live birth abortion. He voted 'against' what he considers an erosion of women's 'rights.' There is a distinct difference in the minds of those who consider themselves pro-choice.
For the record, I'm pro-life, and I disagree with Obama on this issue. I support Ron Paul's pro-life stance when it comes to abortion. Even though I disagree with them, I don't like to see their views and motivations misrepresented. I have a lot of friends who are pro-choice, and it's inaccurate to classify them as 'pro-abortion.'
Many of them are anti-war, pro-animal rights, etc. They don't see the contradiction.
Likewise, the pro-lifers don't see the contradiction either. I find it the height of hypocrisy for so many right-wing Republicans to claim to be pro-life, and then support war. (I have a bumpersticker stating, "War is not pro-life.")
(I'm not referring to anyone specifically on this forum. I know plenty of people in everyday life in both camps.)
I don't even agree with Ron Paul on every issue. There aren't any candidates or presidents with whom we will agree 100%. If Obama is evil because of a single issue, then, by that logic, all other presidents who have ever participated in any wars, are also evil. It's not that simple. And the voting on the issues isn't that simple either. Voting records get twisted and motivations gets skewed, to further whichever agenda one wishes to further.

Well we agree on that!

Buying water??? Please elaborate. I am keenly interested in this.

Just like the fake 'polls' they always cram down our throats which are really nothing more than propaganda machines.
Agreed! However, I do believe that, as people wake up, the establishments (whether govt., medical, religious, or whatever) will reflect that.
This is timely; someone just posted this on Facebook.
Actual News Headlines Vs. Fox News Headlines
Who else is like Ron Paul? All the other Freemason's around the world how about?

IMO....all Ron Paul is, is a guy who will attract people like us who know the truth but in the end we'll be put in the 'conspiracy theorist' box.
As for the worst POTUS ever? Well, I guess we'd have to establish some sort of a test to apply to them. Until then, I'd go back to JFK or Lincoln to find a 'good' one.
And if you do not believe Obama is a puppet when he can't even speak in front of kids w/ out his teleprompter then I'm not sure he can do any wrong in your book coupled w/ the fact you can see past his live birth abortion stance which you are very wrong about.
As for your pro-life stance and bumper sticker, well why do lib's always think clever bumper stickers are the answer?
As for the water issue.........I believe the latest reservoir they bought was down in Brazil/Paraguay. Much like T. Boone Pickens owning nearly the entire Midwest's water reserve. Which is why they call water blue gold these days.
And I don't have time to check your link but I really do not need to. The fact is, is that the media is blatantly biased towards the left and it's not even up for debate. The dem's want to say Fox News leans the right but what about EVERY OTHER news outlet that is in the tank for the left? Does one channel equal all the other media outlets? Look at SNL on NBC and how biased they are. Look at Comedy Central which poses as a news outlet w/ the Daily Show and John Stewart aka John Lebowitz. Believe me in college I thought these guys knew it all and were hilarious but in reality they're just more drones for the left. Then you have Hollywood as well. You know guys like Sean Penn who praise Castro.

so basically, ALL this, and in the end you are just too indulged in the right wing media to cause you to think that 'all media' is 'left leaning' ?

apparently my assessment was correct.
Huh? Take away Fox news and then what? CNN who 'appears' to be in the middle only b/c the GE owned MSNBC is soooooo in the tank for the left. There isn't a paper in the country that doesn't lean left. Hell, even Newsweek and Time are to the left.
