    I just wish people would have listened to him.

    It would be ironic if McCain asks him to be VP, if McCain were to win. They both were "proven" right in their own way, as far as the war is concerned.

    Ironic is not the right word to describe that impossibility. It would be a sign of The Apocalypse.

    McCain will never become president, so no worries on that end.

    That's what I said about Bush's re-election in 2004. I don't think we should underestimate the US "democracy".

    BTW...how many times was Ron Paul mentioned in CNN's Super Tuesday coverage (zero) and did anyone else notice that their ticker graphic only accommodated the first three winners and then rolled over to the forth (DR Paul) after?

    So in retrospect you think Kerry could have fucked up more than Bush?

    Thats a matter of opinion and not fact, truly we would never know the truth.

    1. Fucked Up as Bad? - No.
    2. Solved Our Problems - No.
    3. Stop Iraq War - No.

    He's right on the money but he didn't factor in the opportunity costs for that cash. That cash could have grown the economy many times over.

    Very true @ tickertape.

    But now there are 3 he will be on the first 3 of the tickertape, UNLESS of course CNN drop the tickertape down to 2 because there are only 2 Democraps left and only 2 Republican candidates according to CNN lol.

    They barely mentioned him, although they did with percentages when Blitzer was running through them, other than that they pretty much completely ignored him. Did they actually ask Ron Paul for his thoughts? No. Did they cover all the other 3 candidates with intensive live interviews? Yes.

    If you fail to spot the bias then I pity you.
