Perfect, people like you are one of the reasons that health care insurance is so expensive.

The health care system is so expensive primarily because Americans have one of the worst diets in the entire world. Americans rank right up there with being the most obese in the world, which leads to all kinds of health problems that they think can be "cured" by going to some quack Dr. that will prescribe them some magic pills to make them better. Big Pharma and the medical community thrive because of like you that support this rediculous system that will force us to comply by mandating insurance premiums.

I think the Republican bosses will make him appear to be a crackpot, a la McCain, because he is not thei candidate of choice. They’ll kill the baby in the crib.

We'll have to wait and see on this one. Both Paul and Trump have yet to attend the court of this boss in NH (nytimes):

A White House in New Hampshire Lures the G.O.P.
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/30/us/30house.html?_r=1&hp

Mr. Lamontagne said he expected the parties to continue into the fall, with a break in July and August because his house gets too warm. Mr. Romney wants to come, he said, as does Representative Ron Paul of Texas. He endorsed Mr. Romney in 2008, but in staying neutral for now, he is guaranteeing that his parties stay red-hot and that his own name does the same.

Donald J. Trump has yet to reach out, but Jorge Mesa-Tejada, a friend of Mr. Lamontagne’s, joked that Mr. Trump’s main goal in visiting New Hampshire this week was to get on Mr. Lamontagne’s radar screen.

Wonder how that happened? With his name sounding all French-y. :)

Suppose Ron Paul becomes POTUS.
How long will it take before he becomes co-opted by the Very Serious People (=the corporatist Republican establishment)?
Most of the tea party has been coopted already.
Tell me I’m wrong….

I'd say before the 3rd primary.

An interesting quote from a recent nytimes article:

Republicans Are Pursuing a Wider Field for 2012 Race
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/01/us/politics/01republicans.html?partner=rss&emc=rss

The party lacks the establishment-anointed candidate that has led it into every presidential cycle for decades.

Mitt Romeny has a very slim chance of becoming the nominee. I only see him getting the nomination if something devestating comes out about Pawlenty at the last minute.

And no mention of Mitt Romney is complete without a link to a RomneyCare article:

Nah… I don’t think this will work. He’s a long-established member of the NY financial elite and lives in a gold plated penthouse for crying out loud!

If it were not for the Time Warner Center in the background, I would have mistaken that photo for one of Saddam's palaces.

The scariest words in the English language:

Nice...

i'm saying these quotes are reasonable. attack by the left is a false interpretation of them.

Those blacks that were rioting were pillagers and looters, the only thing that stopped them were hand outs and Koreans with guns. only reason my dads store did not get ransacked was because he had a dog with a loud bark and a shotgun. The same mentally sick (mostly blacks) people that were rioting back then are the same kind that go rioting and pillaging every time Lakers win a championship.

The liberal hit job is when they try to take that reality and make it sound like it is being addressed toward all the blacks that exist when we all know it's not the case and that the statement is only meant for those who are guilty as charged. It's what the ultra left does, takes sentences out of context and plays them to extreme to prove a point.

Folks on these forums have really bad track records when it comes to making predictions.

To be fair, it was qualified with LONG SHOT not dead certain "why can't the rest of you dolts see how obvious the outcome is".

I knew you'd say that.
