Nope. He sent out other stuff not relating to specific abuses also. If he really wanted to champion something. . . getting himself arrested, destroying his credibility, costing the taxpayers millions, and destroying the careers of servicemembers not involved with the "crimes" he was "exposing". . .definitely not the right way of going about doing things. He was only "championing" his own spoiled selfish bad attitude. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

so we let the military run rampant, even if it is wrong and even if the soldiers know that it is wrong. We take and only 'take' orders. No one questions anything, ever. Why people don't understand why this is a problem is beyond me. No. We won't let the military run rampant. But Manning isn't the person with the right to "correct" any wrongdoing. It's not his job. He isn't part of any military inquiry or court. The military isn't about "take and take orders only". There's also Give orders. There's also a right way of questioning orders and knowing how to address unlawful orders if came to that. I seriously doubt mannings reasons for leaking as "whistleblowing" are legitimate. People like him just have an issue with authority. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

I wouldn't use this against Paul yet. There is some obvious chops and one can make anybody look bad if some things were taken out. I would like to see the whole interview. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

You really have nothing better to do with your time? And the dumb ass is bragging about it A bully that never grew up. Hope he's had his tubes tied. Or he'll be paying child support for a long time. R. I don't think this is a bully type tactic. Not openly confrontational. Sounds more like passive-aggressive dork bitterness. It takes no balls. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

Noble Fir. Pretty needles. Here's mine. I went "retro" this year and went with c7 incandescent bulbs. Now I know why those mini-lights are more favorful. I replaced 4 burnt bulbs already and I am finding some empty sockets. I suspect my daughter, seeing me replace burnt out bulbs, is unscrewing them and throwing away. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

They are so cute when they are too small to knaw your leg off.

Sociable girl-getting type football players' leadership route towards being politicians. Strange geeky awkward around girls type tend to create dictatorship style of leadership. Meh, it's lose-lose.

Thank you for being the spearhead for the fight to stop idiocy. Too bad you wasted more of your time than theirs. In the end, the joke is on you. Your crusade was more important than your time. Definitely no K.I.S.S being observed here. What a waste. You got your self-gratification, but they forgot the next day. Definitely not the winner here. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

I understand that, and did allude to that in one of my previous posts that donation amount alone is not telling. If anybody can find a breakdown of these figures at all to see perhaps the number of donors that'd be great. Until then, without polls there's no way to know the true support he has. However, based on this we can say that the "likely" scenario is he has the more support than the other gop candidates. You definitely can't make a case that he doesn't have their support, unless you take a poll. I'm still on active duty and I rarely see any support for Ron Paul. People here are talking Newt and others. They laugh when Paul is thrown in. the most probable scenario is that Paul supporters tend to be "true believers" and are more willing to fork out more money than the average voter. Like those deeply religious types in their churches. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

That chart is grasping at straws. Seriously. It does not prove anything about the amount of Paul support. Especially with the low numbers involved. $113,000? How many people contributed is more telling. Gingritch could have had more donations with less totals overall. When dealing with personnel numbering into the million mark, $113,000 tells me a very pitiful amount for any candidate. The overall amounts tells me that generally, Service Members (truth) generally don't donate. And the total amount of money vs. total amount of donaters is too small to get a legitimate statistical sample. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

Well, during the Cold War, Canada was considered the WWI equivalent of Belgium. Strategically, Canada was the country directly between the U.S. and USSR. The North Pole was a very busy area of Cat and Mouse between us and russia. Look at a globe from the top. You would be surrounded completely by two warring superpowers and would have suffered for it. Canada doesn't owe us anything, but you would have been an unreluctant host of many battles and errant missile trajectories. Canada was a great asset to us during the Cold Wars. I wouldn't consider our contributions a product to be greatful for though . . . _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

I agree. He's not up to the task. But his campaign is starting to fool some to believe he is. He's not the candidate exclusive to the strange, geeky and socially naive of previous runs. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

Congrats!! _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

It's not that I think he's not smart, just naive. But he is learning. Instead of saying he is disestablishing the IRS or FED, he is talking of reform. He is holding back on crazy ideas this run. He is slowly becoming a good politician. He's definitely being coached and listening to someone. Soon, he will move up a notch and be just as screwed up as the other Republicans. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

Got a cite for that that doesn't originate with the RP campaign? Yes. I really want to see that too. Because for the most part, I rarely see anyone here who support RP with the exception of a few who work in the network/software area and they are usually strange people. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

Persian cats are only destructive and bloody when you try to give them a bath or take them to the vet. Or. . .when you have candles lit for the romantic getaway with your wife and that bastard cat jumps up, gets singed and hair on fire runs yowling right underneath it's comfort zone. . .your bed, nearly causing a bedroom fire. Proud to say that our cat, Thelma, did not receive third degree burns as we got her in time. But looking back. . .It's kind of funny now. But we definitely pissed our pants during. No more persians.
