Ron Paul is on The Colbert Report tonight (Wed)

[TheEngineer]

If you miss it, the repeat is on tomorrow at 8:30 pm EST, plus other times.

[Legislurker]

Not a bad interview, but if he would just shut up about dismantling the entire government.

It will be really interesting if he makes it far enough to start scaring all the agencies, corporations and special interests that are looking to "protect their cheese".

I think people misinterpret his desire to kill all these federal agencies. All of these agencies were created to fulfill some need(real or perceived) of the people, but the solutions are just woefully inefficiant when applied at the federal level. You don't need FEMA, but Oklahoma probably needs a Tornado Response Agency, Florida might want to prepare for hurricanes, and Nevada needs a Really Bad Sunburn and Drunks Walking in Front of Buses Reponse Team.

It will be really interesting if Christ shows up at my local bookstore to autograph the Bible, too. Also far more likely than Paul having any impact at all on US politics.

You have just shown everyone how woefully out of touch you are. Ron Paul is already having an impact on US politics.

Of course he isn't.

Is this your first election or something? He's having roughly the same impact Al Sharpton had in 2004. Possibly less as he's a far less interesting speaker.

Wow that sucks. So I have to build and maintain my own road to get to work? Not to mention generating my own water source. The things I do for poker.

Yep, that's what people had to do back in the old days when a conservative republican won the presidency. Your grandpa was right when he said it was rough.

It's really not that bad.

You can find most of the supplies, tar, concrete, gravel, etc; at Home Depot and stores such as that. That's the hardest part. Digging a well and adding a pump is pretty simple too.

Once you've got it all up and running, it's smooth sailing........and you'll vote conservative for the rest of your life.

Ok,Im by no means political oriented, and would never claim to know how our government runs. But whats wrong with doing away with the IRS and taxes in general? Even if they do that, wouldnt they add a federal sales tax to tax us that way. That way we get to bring home our whole paycheck and decide how we want to spend it. Then be taxed on what we spend it on. Like I said, I really know little about how this works, but I would like it better than paying taxes out of my check. Makes you feel like you working for something then when you see a bigger paycheck.
