I believe that NJ beats Alaska by a wide margin.

Neuman. He proved to us in his first term that my dog has more analytical prowess. I have a sixteen year old niece, a prodigy, national merit scholar, et al, she has a really good grip on events, both foreign and domestic and their impact upon the U.S. Economy (she's also quite cute, suspect this makes her genuinely dangerous) Anyway, Dubya and all his high priced experts are (that we are paying for) running the economy into the ground, excuse me, have already.... Eight years ago when he took office, we were not involved in an armed conflict, our allies respected us, the economy was not only sound but booming, and everyone who wanted one, had a job. Just goes to show what one determined idiot can do. It is particularly frustrating for me, I am out of work, have been out of work for several months. I am university educated, a proven manager with high efficiency ratings, speak several languages, have a track record of completing projects ahead of schedule and under budget under the most adverse of conditions (W. Africa, C. and S. America) and I can not find work. I send out resumes and fill out applications daily and have used more gas than we can afford. Were it not for my gardening and hunting skills we would be hungry. Did I mention frustration?

Because for several years now, with two political parties, most independents (no politically affiliated to the Dims and the Reps) end-up choosing the lesser of two evils. Given the choices, it's easy to understand why Bush got elected twice. Still, it seems that a sector of the US population is still running against Bush. That makes no sense to me, since he can't have another term in office. Just look how Lieberman got elected again: by folks who are more conservative than not.

Now, take a look at President Bush job approval rate. It's quite low, but not as low as Congress'

Most of those in state controlled facilities are largely injurious to themselves alone. Ron Paul is unsafe for the entire voter population, and those who do not vote also.

What I like about Ron Paul's run at the pretzelnit's job is that he's exposed himself for what he is......

....he's likely now to lose his Congressional seat because of the high profile he cut and the attention he attracted.

Those back in his home district have a whole new outlook, and a whole bunch of new material to consider in his upcoming defense of his seat.

He's toast..... (or his home district is as unbalanced as he is)

He recently told his supporters he was taking his presidential campaign money and putting it towards defending his Texas seat.

Ron Paul shifts to focus more on re-election - On Politics - USATODAY.com

He's now trying to make sure he can continue to be the most ineffectual Congressman ever.

Well, as you might have guessed, then, Ron Paul's got my vote.

I look at what HE has to say, not what the TV says we should think about him. Not having a TV helps in that department.

Name one single thing he says that you disagree with. One bad idea.

His words, not what other people say he says.

So you're saying you're a white supremicist ala the white nationalist creed?

You endorse eugenics?

You agree with racist ideologues.

You think there are no crimes in child pornography?

All drugs should be legal, all drug sales and manufacturing of meth, heroin and the like aren't criminal acts?

You think you should be taxed 30 percent on your consumption?

You'd vote to dismantle the Constitution?

I might have guessed it?

Not having a TV hasn't contributed to your being informed much about Ron Paul,

.....either that, or you put up a heck of a front.

Well, I don't have a TV either but there is no way in hell I'm voting for Ron Paul.

....you probably don't form your opinions in a way similar to the process other people catch a cold.
