    I was being rather general myself, I honestly know nothing of Ecuador. That left side still sounds close to Communism to me, but that right doesn't sound as far right as you would consider the US, I suppose.

    They tend to be very commie.. or at least very socialist. As I said, the problem with the right is that it's not very well-defined. The problem actually, is that there are no real ideologies here. Just people who wanna get rich.

    ON THE OTHER SIDE I just found out that Huckabee's got an ad with Chuck Norris! Why didn't any of you inform me of this? I think that makes him a considerably better candidate than he was before! Sure, he's two or three years late into the whole Norris fact thing, but still!

    Ehhh, it's cool and all until you notice that at every debate or press conference, Norris is just kind of sitting there, thinking he's cool. The Norris facts are great when it's tongue-in-cheek, but when Norris starts using his power for evil and riding on the momentum of a random joke started by Conan O'Brien they cease to be so cool to me.

    We just need Galdalf the Grey, Gandalf the White, Monty Python and the Holy Grail's Black Knight, Benito Mussolini, The Blue Meanie, Cowboy Curtis, Jambi the Genie, Robocop, the Terminator, Captain Kirk, Darth Vader, Lo Pan, Superman, every single Power Ranger, Bill S. Preston and Theodore Logan, Spock, The Rock, Doc Ock, and Hulk Hogan to come out of nowhere lightning fast and kick Chuck Norris in his cowboy ass.

    That would be cool.

    And the Norris Facts didn't start on Conan O'Brien. They were just a knock-off of the Random Facts About Vin Diesel that started months earlier and were far cooler.

    I always liked the syncopation with "Spock, The Rock, Doc Ock, and Hulk Hogan" in that song

    Yeah but Vin Diesel sucks. I'm not saying it's fuckwin, all I'm saying is that it makes him a cooler candidate than he would be if he hadn't chose Chuck Norris for his ads.

    Chuck Norris sucks more than Vin Diesel.

    Pitch Black, at least, was a half-decent movie (although Diesel's character should've died at the end,) and The Iron Giant was awesome. What movies has Chuck Norris been in that didn't suck?

    Was that recited from memory? If so, high five!

    Nah, I had to watch the video again to refresh my memory.

    Then I watched it again again 'cause it's awesome.

    Better than MY notetaking skills, I have to say.

    This is for anyone on the forum who has heard the argument that Ron Paul is not electable. I know the politically vocal majority of you are Obama supporters (that's...two people) and everyone else is probably mostly apathetic towards politics, but this was just in case.

    I don't think that it says anything about his electability, it just shows how different the Republican Party has become since Bob Taft in the 50s.
  • edited January 2008
    He reminds me of Tony Benn, holding on to old party doctrine when the party has adopted a reformed policy list. Quite frankly someone who thinks he can get elected on a party platform from the 1950s, the era of this Bob Taft bloke, in 2008 is a bit misguided.

    Oi, and I remember when you all were calling ME a devil's advocate.

    I'm just saying that it's like Gordon Brown's next election manifesto promising total Nuclear Disarmament and a total nationalisation, the dreaded Clause IV.

    Oh Ron, you really know how to cut to the core of me.

    Now I have to read about his policies.

    Six minute video of Ron Paul talking at a Congressional ...well... what would you even call this a video of? A forum? Certainly not a hearing. It's some sort of MEETING with Ron Paul talking to some Federal Reserve dude. The simple things he says make sense to me, but he throws out a lot of terms and ideas there that I don't get.

    Could one of the economics buffs throw in their two cents on this?

    I think it is a hearing, of the Joint Economic Committee.

    So, Florida Primaries. Who did you vote for, John?
