Democracy earns it's keep merely by keeping evil people like Ghadafi, Assad, Idi Amin, Hussein, Azhmadjinifuck (Iran), Kim Il Sung etc. out of power ! If once in a while it gives us a winner like Reagan....it is working !
Democracy put your list into power, before taking them out. Hegelian doctrine bull loves this shit.
Name your five favourite countries where government is working for the people ! Your list !
Isn't that a hint to try something else? Isn't that what Jefferson was getting at: "the best government is least government"?!
Best stick to your comedy world tour ... I was enjoying that!
This should be really good, its the part of the campaign where the candidates lie their asses off and tell you what you want to hear. Then after elected you get the same old bullshit.
this is worse than watching harry wagner tell robo trader how smart he is :(
Where's Zelig?
I'm for whichever one doesn't say "Ronald Reagan"
good luck with dat.... well, maybe the black guy...
No crap..

For some real entertainment, they should all be wired to lie-detectors, with results projected on screen.

People who are pathological pass lie detectors.
For some real entertainment, a lie detector is not option A.
And electrodes on their testicles(including Hillary's). "I am not a crook!" bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzttttt "Read my lips!" bzzzzzzzttttt. "I did not have sexual relationzzzzzzzzzzztttt." There goes the f'in power grid...they'll call it rolling brownouts because the resulting shitstorm will roll downhill as usual...
LOL!
would be much better with Statler and Waldorf heckling from the peanut gallery!
...it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.

Has Dr. Burzynski found the cure for cancer (despite the FDA) ?

Burzynski The Movie – Cancer Is Serious Business
Free internet screening thru June 20. Spread the word
Thanks for the link Harvey, will watch this one tomorrow. He must now join the likes of Krebs, Rife, and soon probably Fuhrman. Cancer IS a serious business. One that will protect itself at all costs.
There is a fairly easy way to avoid cancer, as Fuhrman states. Consume less than 5% of your calories from animal sources. Might be a bit different here (western society), as this was from statistical analysis of the China Study, but there is no denying causality.

Yeah...riiiiight. That would explain why cancer rates have skyrocketed in the decades since the introduction of "low fat, low cholesterol" diets. Get real.
The main reason that Americans (and, now, other westerners) are bloated and cancer-ridden is their massively increased intake of carbohydrates from grains in those decades (well, actually, it's the fellow-traveller proteins in those grains that are the real problem).
We rapidly evolved from lesser primates a few million years ago -- after the discovery of fire enabled us to eat cooked (ie. easily digestible) protein from meats, rather than continuing to nibble on nuts and fruits. Our larger brain is almost exclusively a mass of cholesterol. Grains are a recent (<10,000 yrs) addition to the homo sapiens diet that we have not yet fully evolved to effectively process.
Ron Paul asked about a running mate.....I think he should chose TYLER DURDEN.
Paul/Durden 2012.
ilike how he replied he needs to do more quizing and find what they thing about federal reserve :-)
TD has - so he is qualified for Dr Paul!

Sorry Lizzy but Tyler renounced his US citizenship. Just ask him. He posted something a good while back (remember the old days, when we were young?) and wrote out the entire process as well as his experience during it.
Didn't stop Akhenaten...er, I mean Barry.
I don't. The memory is going. ;)
A girl can dream.
>>Inaugural Republican Presidential Debate
So I dreamed those two hours in South Carolina last month?
No thanks, dont want to hear a bunch of clueless muppets.
Is the entire debate video archived somewhere on the internets?
I wonder if they spend all night preaching about the deficit and blaming it all on the unemployment benefits?
Recall 8 yrs of Bush the status quo was "deficits don't matter".
Flash forward: WE MUST CUT SPENDING! THROW GRANDMA OFF THE CLIFF! WEINER! WEINER! WEINER!
Hell of a fucking platform.
10 trillion in the hole under Bush's deficits don't matter program, an Obama Depression? Really Newt? These motherfuckers are just ungoddamnbelievable and a fucking disgrace to our country.
going to vote with my money since that seems to be what wins elections. go Ron Paul!

Thank god the republican party is the moral/ethical choice.......otherwise we may have to had even more buildings blown up and people killed on 9-11 all in the name of chasing Habib around the desert trying to stick an exon oil flag up his ass.
Pathetic motherfuckers when these types of fucking pieces of discarded dog shit have come to power I can only venture to guess how many of them are itching at the finger to loft nukes in the quest of Operation Global Gobble. Of course nevermind they'll be launched back and the whole fucking atmosphere will be destroyed. We can't see past that though, we just must remain in control and in power no matter what.

Just an idea... but perhaps we could save a lot of rope...

I like the idea of Dismemberment and Drawing and Quartering... so let's mix them up!
Before 1814, the prisoner condemned under this penalty was made to undergo the following:
1. The condemned was dragged by a horse or on a hurdle to the execution place.
2. He was momentarily hanged until almost dead.
3. The condemned’s genitals were cut off and burned before him together with his entrails that were slowly drawn out from a cut made on his belly.
4. Finally, the condemned was beheaded and his body was divided into four different parts and gibbeted in different places in England.
It was only in 1870 that this penalty was repealed and deemed too inhumane as a form of punishment. Some of those who died by such a manner were William Wallace, Guy Fawkes and William Blake, to name a few.
This 4th part should be replaced by dismemberment... Under this punishment, the condemned’s limbs were tied to two or more separate movable objects, such as a horse-drawn vehicle. The objects were then made to move in opposite directions, stretching the person’s limbs until these were torn apart.
Seems like a much more fitting punishment... I want the bastards to suffer.
Who give a flying fuck about left / right, Dem / Rep... an America divided, will surely fall. It's time to kick each of these scum the fuck out of Washington and start electing people based on their moral character, integrity, and intelligence... not because they are Democrat or Republican. Dem and Rep are just two sides of the same corrupt coin. The Tea Party originated with the ideas of fundamental freedoms, and supporting and enforcing the Constitution, and dare I say, a return to the constitutional republic which this country was originally founded upon. We sold our sovereignty and our Constitutional Republic during the first Great Depression, and accepted a "Democracy" in it's place, as part of the repayment plan... look it up! I hate to think of what we as a people will give up when the second great depression hits... sadly, I don't have long to find out.

and there's Ron Paul the red tie.
This is the best they got?
I don't know, I get stirrings "down there", whenever I see Bachmann. She is one hot MILF.
So have any of the muppets said anything about how we have a slight problem by issuing debt money at interest, requiring an ever increasing debt supply to avoid collapse?
Or have they talked about austerity and balanced budgets?
Wake me up when one of them says the whole system is a farce, and has been from the get-go.

It was a great debate.....even CNN did a credible job ! Their review with Anderson Pooper was a roundup of the usual Liberal suspects.....but they were forced to admit it was a good debate ! Now compare this open, civil process.....with the Arab Spring ! Monedas 2011 Now imagine a Democrat debate ?

Fuck politicians.
If Ron Paul doesn't win this election, I'm getting the hell out of dodge. Anybody need a sharecropper on the Hedge Farm?
Ron Paul won't win.
A better course of action is to get the hell out now and cut any connections to this place if Paul doesn't win.
Next presidental term is when reality sinks in for the sheep americans: The good ol' days are gone and they're never coming back.
Look at these pathetic fucks! America is in the WORST shape in a very long time and these imbeciles wanna take the reigns?! I wouldnt let those cunts manage a payless shoestore. Americans owe it to themselves to nominate Paul, if they wanna make it out of this alive....
Ron Paul did a fine job ! Whatever happens, this crowd won't ignore him ! Wouldn't they be a dynamite cabinet ? It was good for the sick Socialist world to see a little decency and common sense on parade ! There were no McCains and Schwarzeniggers and flakey Olympia Snowfucks !

People of New Hampshire, readers of Zerohedge, my fellow Americans,
It is with regret and practical humility that I announce I will NOT be running for President of the United States of America in 2012. Despite some diferences of approach and timing, I instead will be endorsing Ron Paul as the Republican nominee. Never the less, I would appreciate the opportunity to pass one thought on to you that would be the motivation for and focus of my campaign and administration had I run and been elected:
The moto of the great State of New Hampshire is "Live free or die!". Most true Americans consider this a bold statement of liberty and freedom, and perhaps our enemies consider it an antiquated battle cry of the Revolutionary War. I am telling you it is nothing more than a statement of fact. The stifiling blanket of protection provided by the Federal Government has made us weak, dependent, and fragile. Well connected interests have exploited our weakness and dependancy for profit and power, robbing every American, living and yet to be born, of their God-given birth rights enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. We have traded our calling to be worthy of these rights, through the struggle to excel, for the comfort of a safety net that has become a hammock. A hammock so high and comfortable we fear to roll out of it and hit the hard ground of reallity on the weakened legs of our potential. I tell you that the time has come to get up and climb out. Some may not land on their feet, but the many that do will offer a hand up. The hammock can no longer support the weight of our collective dependancy.
It should be clear through an examination of economic data that even if this protection was desirable, it is no longer affordable (if it is not clear to you, then read Zerohedge.com). The time is approaching, likely within two years, that the cost of servicing our debt will drive ever increasing debt, with the only escape being the penury of hyper-inflation, inevitable default, and economic collapse. The deprivation resulting from these consequences of profiligate Government spending will bring suffering to the Uniter States of America that most have only known in the desparate faces and bloated bellies of Third World victims of famine and disease. You may say "It could never happen here, in the richest country in the world." I say to you there are 44 million Americans right now who would be suffering like these wretched masses if it were not for the over-extended largess of unsustainable Government benefits. Within a few months, tens of millions of others among you would join the ranks of these poor fellow countrymen if the Federal Government was spending within it's means. But we no longer have the choice of continuing to support these benefits through spending beyond our means. Government can not afford to be the charity of first resort, as it engenders slothful and irresposible behavior.
We must revitalize ourselves by throwing off our dependency on Government and obtain the necessary means to support the trully infirmed. To these ends, I am recommending to Congressman Paul that all Federal benefits be immediately means-tested, including both Social Security and Medicare. Further, I recommend that every person earning more than the minimum wage be offered a broad range of private alternatives to Social Security, and that the Social Security actuary immediately establish a level of benefits consistent with conservative assumptions regarding payroll taxes and demographics. I am also recommending that every Federal employee be offered a buy-out equal to one full years salary and that sufficient Federal office space be offered free for one year as business incubators. I recommend that we reward our true partners in trade with vouchers equal to the dollar value of all goods purchased from the United States, and punish those companies and countries exploiting US markets by requiring that all imports to the United States be accompanied by such vouchers. Those countries and businesses that wish to maintain a trade surplus with the United States will need to purchase the right to do so from those countries and businesses that overwhelmingly purchase goods from our farms, factories, and creative industries. I am recommending to Congressman Paul that he sign an executive order opening numerous locations within the Department of Energy complex to private energy development, with expidited review and litigation. As President, Congressman Paul will no doubt put in place the monetary and financial policies and mechanisms to facilitate our return to prosperity.
If you search your hearts, I believe each of us has the spark of desire and ability to do something productive and satisfying. Each and every one of us is assisted, enabled, and inspired by the efforts of our fellow Americans through the flow of value in a free market. Believe in yourselves and eachother, focus your talents and efforts to meet a valued need, and there will be no limit to the prosperity we can achieve with eachother.

tyler - u work very hard to report news and opinions in an intelligent and couth manner - like most other posting forums you have attracted a boorish , unfunny , tedious group of pposters - i scanned all posts in this article and there were only a few on subject or interesting -- you must recognize that the intelligent comments are so hidden in the rubbish that new intelligent commentators that you deserve , will not bother til you get rid of the nonsense --- about the only way out is for you to edit out the garbage til they go away - hopefully - btw i watched some of the debate and was startled by the unity and resolve of most of the participants - anti abortion , anti gay rights, anti medicare -- i would not vote for any one the podium last night
the traditional republican party is not very friendly toward freedom either.
Is Ron Paul the only hope? If so it is a fairly small one.
Censorship...great idea! Just what the internet needs so that it can "catch up" to the MSM. :S
As your idol Mao might have said: "Let a thousand flowers perish"!
I reviewed all the debates again. This is why the status quo and our march to fascism will continue
There is one group of zero hedgers who wish to replace the current oligopolistic oppressers with merely a different group. They follow Plato's thinking about letting just the "smart" people rule. They still believe in a severe redistributionism rather than opening the economy so that everyone has a chance to succeed or fail.
The other group of zero hedgers is the libertarian wing. They would never agree to any solution which merely replaces one set of oligopolistic rulers and large government with another set of oligopolistic rulers and large government.
