    I found this at one of GTechs favorite sites (beside DP of course) ;)

    http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1976147

    And the logo appears real:

    BTW, take a gander at post 18...

    Is it 2008 or are you just happy to see me? :eek: :D

    I think the liberal and republicans are both screwing the country because both will always bend to the will of the special interest groups. I really like Ron Paul and what he stands for but we all know in the end any policies he believes in now, will either be controlled by the special interest groups, or the congress which they have in their back pockets. The office of teh presidency has become something just for figure heads to fill in.

    We need real change. nsam 263:)

    I concur.

    Wouldn't it be great if we transitioned from an indirect democracy, to a direct one? Bypassing the congress all together...

    Imagine waking up, going to your computer and seeing "Do you think we should fund a $400 million dollar bridge in Alaska so that 25 people can drive to an island instead of taking a 20 minute ferry?" ... Then you just click "No", enough people click "No", and BAM, no pork project...

    I know that's not going to happen, but I really feel like our current system is being exploited...

    Yeah, Ron Paul or we get the same people for a long long time.

    BTW, check this out:

    In retrospect there must be some kind of code in this story :confused:

    I was surprised to learn that the GOP convention logo was real. After the events of the past few months, you'd think the designer would have more sense than that. Now that Craig has decided to not step down despite the pleading of his GOP colleagues, this issue will be a thorn in the side of all the GOP candidates, almost all of whom are opposed to gay marriage. To appease the religious right, these candidates will have to invoke more extreme talk during the primary season, moving themselves further to the right. That makes it much harder to move back to the moderate middle for the general election.
