Ron Paul Q&A on CSpan now. Don't know how long he was on


Posted: Nov 15, 2012

Caught part of it. Talked about fiscal cliff. Defending poor. Bailouts. Petraeus/Allen. Syria/Israel. 

Probably will show up on regular CSPan later today or tomorrow.

I'm afraid I'm not a Ron Paul admirer. Caught part of his goodbye to Congress and - "farewell salute to freedom" posturing

from a not-very-closet bigot and a person, who for all his so-called practical talk, failed to respect or even understand any governmental tools but the very few he approved.

I'm a pragmatist. I'll support anything that promises the results I want with what I consider acceptable costs, regardless of what label you put on it, liberal, conservative libertarian, whatever. That said, I've never been able to adopt a Ron Paul plan. The costs for the typical American would typically be brutal and, very importantly, the payoff not what the typical American asked for. They're just too radical. Most people want our systems tinkered with so they work better, not dismantled to create a brave new world of a third-world type of freedom that glorifies not only economic success but a "new" and wonderful freedom to fail that we are somehow now denied.

Ron Paul and the gang - backwards typist

I'm not a fan of Ron Paul either but I think if we could take some of his ideas (and I did agree with some of them), mix them with some of the democratic and republican ideas, we'd have a fantastic government. ;-)

The best of all? I'm for that. But it'd have to be tweaked - every couple years or so to stay great... nm

Oh, Joy. CSpan Has A Press Conference With Nov 14, 2012
Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi is holding a press conference on CSpan2. My only choice is CSpan3 on the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on the funal meningitis outbreak and new strong FDA legislation so this doesn't happen again. I won't watch Nancy you-have-to-pass-it-so-we-can-see-what's-in-it Pelosi because every time I see her speak, she's forever moving her hands. I just want to jump through the screen and tie her hands behind her back or down at her side. Would she be ab ...

The Past 2 Hours On CSpan-3 Were About The F&F ReportSep 20, 2012
They questioned Michael Horowitz, the IG. He seemed very honest and straight forward. Lucky him, though....every email he asked for from Holder, he received.  Now they are having a hearing on Hate crimesand Domestic Extremism. I was looking at the definition of hate speech and/or hate crimes earlier today. I'm not sure, but I think, if the Justice Dept. would get off their duff, that they could arrest those responsible for the film that helped create the riots.  ...

Something I Was Seriously Thinking About Today While Watching CSpan 1,2,3Sep 21, 2012
If Congress wants to pass bills/laws, WHY DO THEY WASTE HALF THE DAY IN GENERAL SPEECHES? Senate Democrats are complaining about bills in the House that have not been voted on and the House is complaining about the Senate sitting on bills passed by them.  As of today, there are now 40 jobs bills sitting in the Senate not voted on and today is the last day in session until after the election.  I think the House has already left to go home. Harry Reid is blocking votes as they are rehas ...

According To CSpan, An Agreement Was Reached On Tax RatesDec 31, 2012
Deal emerging...It just says that as a 1-sentence news alert on the Senate C-SPAN. Wonder what the amount is going to be, who gave up, what is being dropped, what is being added, etc. I'm hoping the tax rates will be the highest number so it doesn't hurt the small businesses.    ...

Watching The Debate Yesterday On CSPAN, I Was A Bit Surprised/shockedMar 26, 2010
One of the debaters (can't remember his name but a pub) asked BARBARA SLAUGHTER if he could have 15 SECONDS to finish his sentence when his time ran out. She refused vehemently! She was also very nasty to someone else last week. Another pub wanted to introduce a bill and the grumblings started again from members. The gavel had to be wielded again to quiet the house. Sheila Jackson Lee stated "Since this bill was passed, lives HAVE BEEN SAVED". How? Nothing has gone into effect y ...

I Was Listening To CSPAN This Morning And Bernie Sanders Was Speaking About The Oil CompaniesJun 09, 2010
I tried writing down what he said (wish I still knew my shorthand), but could only get a few items. My curiosity aroused, I started to do a little research. Bernie stated in a 10 year period, the oil and gas companies posted a combined profit of $750 Billion. The entire industry only invested $1.5 billion in non-fossil fuel products. He also gave ALL the compensation packages for the CEOs, which I could not write fast enough, but will find them, but Occidential Petroleum's CEO received $75 ...

If you want to read it, I can post it tomorrow.   ...

I have been hearing that Paul Ryan worships Ayn Rand saying the following:   "I just want to speak to you a little bit about Ayn Rand and what she meant to me in my life and [in] the fight we're engaged here in Congress. I grew up on Ayn Rand, that's what I tell people."   "I grew up reading Ayn Rand and it taught me quite a bit about who I am and what my value systems are, and what my beliefs are."

Paul Ryan's Eyes -- Seriously....Mar 10, 2013
Am I the only one who thinks there is something seriously off about Paul Ryan's eyes?  Years ago, I read that when the whites of the eyes show below the irises, it's an indication of something--I can't remember quite what, but I think it was a negative thing.  That look has always given me a bit of a chill.  I believe some thyroid conditions cause a similar look, so maybe that's it.   ...
