If you read the piece, Obama blamed the downing of the Malaysian jetliner on Russia the day after, prior to having any evidence to support the theory. Pure Government propaganda that many Americans lapped up without a second thought. Paul is a Commie for suggesting we wait until we have facts? For suggesting we wait to assign blame until after an investigation? Like I said, if it wasn't so dangerous, it's be comical. Ron Paul suspected of giving Putin secret information? Whhhhaaat? How do people even publish this stuff? There's no evidence at all to support that claim. The writer simply feels that since Ron Paul doesn't want to get involved in the Crimea that he is therefore a Putin ally and likely supplying him with classified intel? This anti-Ron Paul conspiracy theory stuff is really sick.

Media projections?

After Green Eggs and Ham, `ol Ted was the leader of the party, according to the polls.
What changed? the Republicans took the Senate.
The media tried to push Mitt Romney & Jeb Bush to the front and that fell flat on it's face. Sure they can bring the cash and lead that aspect, but neither can bring the voters.

Ted & Rand have been leading the way for a Republican victory for 4 years, Rand a little longer.

Neither party held anyone accountable for any of the financial mess so I believe both parties have discarded the idea. There were prosecutions in the S&L mess.

Last thing we need is a Goldman Sachs exec in the White House withholding sex until they get their way.

No, I am saying Cruz is a Washington Insider that worked for beltway Republicans.

Sounds like, "sign it, so you can see what's in it."

I still have no idea what this thread was supposed to be about. Not exactly soiling my pants here, either.
