    Your govt, that is....bought and paid for. Still think federal govt is the place to pin your hopes for reform?

    The "debate" is settled before your elected officials have their say. Wait...wha?

    A hot mic left on during a Senate vote Tuesday morning on the Food [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]Safety[/COLOR] Act caught a senator complaining that process of setting the agenda during the lame-duck session is “rigged.”

    “It’s all rigged. The whole conversation is rigged,” said Colorado Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet. “The fact that we don’t get to a discussion before the break about what we’re going to do in the lame duck. It’s just rigged.”
    The remark was picked up live on C-SPAN 2, although [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]microphones[/COLOR][/COLOR] are usually turned down during voting times. An aide quickly realized the mistake, jumped up and had the sound cut off.

    Bennet Chief of Staff Guy Cecil stood by the senator’s comments.
    “It’s something he’s been talking about from day one,” Cecil told The Daily Caller in an interview outside the Senate chamber. “The whole process being rigged against having a real conversation about tax cuts, the estate tax and the defense authorization. We’re not having a lot of those conversations. It’s just a symptom of Washington being broken.”

    No, I haven't read how you want to achieve power to the people.

    If you have a manifesto or something, I'll take a link to it.

    This is not your plan. Ron Paul is bought and paid for according to you.

    Best non-sequitur I have seen this year. Nothing like starting the day with a solid laugh.

    "I think they are kind of all corrupt"

    "Oh yeah? I like ice cream!"


    wtf?

    realize that every day you bring a scientific discussion to the political forum.

    And then when I spoke about the political ramifications of your take (an affirmative belief in science as a solution to global warming) you dismiss it as pointless rambling.

    Do you see the irony here, RG?

    You said the federal government is bought and paid for.

    Ron Paul is part of the federal government.

    If you want to start making exceptions, don't whine that you didn't do it in the first place.

    its a flat out lie because you knew he was already excepted. But hey, dont let the truth get in the way of your argument I might admire the effort, if it wasn't so disingenuous.

    Chump, have you ever noticed you have a tendency to avoid the meat in almost every debate, in favor of gnawing the skin? It is easier, and probably suits your intentions (endless banter is the goal), so I understand. Just wanted to point that out.
