I respect highly Rand Paul's political views, but not high old time religion, which is a complete detriment to realistic thinking. Doesn't he have the guts to admit that he was able to think "freely" when he was in college? No more....
PS I don't want your pity, I merely wanted to have a voice, for "my people" (the disabled) when things like the ADA are being threatened. I need not your pity. Understanding would've been nice.
Rand Paul, you have my respect. I pray that the Lord will allow you the opportunity to serve Him and the American people as the next Senator representing Kentucky.
REAGANFAG: superiority complex much? My feelings so hurt that you are too good to talk to me any further. However, will I sleep tonight? Bonus points for picking on the disabled girl. You are a class act. Dignity, equality, and what America stands for is lost on you. Let me guess, a perfectly healthy white man is who you are Right, that's what I thought. Your Ran Paul redneck is sure to ensure it stays a WHITE MAN's WORLD. How fair and delightful for you. Selfish to think only about you...
@louisvillepoet Somewhere in Louisville, there's a poor soul who cries to the world to be heard. Alone, bitter, and angry she finds solace as a Youtube uber troll and occasionally get's a charge at verbally debasing other users who don't quite fit her ideological match. Honor diversity? maybe not this gal. This may be the first time (and maybe even the last time) you will hear this Miss Louisvillepoet.... I feel pity for you, and I will keep you in my prayers.
Hmm. Jack Conway censors his videos by disabling comments on his youtube channel where Ron Paul doesn't. That says A LOT about Conway. I would never vote for someone that simply can't handle the publics opinion and could care less what YOU think...
@JimCramer so his actually policies are unimportant, its all about who has comments on a youtube page run by random staffers? Do you honestly think any candidate trolls you tube for policy suggestions? If your gauge of who listens more is based on youtube answers, thats kinda silly
Workers compensation judges are put onto place by government. There is much corruption within that system. I fought a case for over 8 years with my brother, who also was not treated right and they do not want to give benefits to anyone under the age of 50. I hope you a doing better and keep the faith always. Companies do not want to pay for injuries that cost the company millions; yes, those kinds of laws need to be changed. My brother passed away last year at 49.
This country has NOT done for me, mostly due to the lack of government involvement and oversight. I had to go through worker's compensation, an independent, supposedly, aspect from government. They allowed my body to fall apart, literally, before me eyes by their lack of ethics and morality. To me, and I speak from my situation, had the government had in place oversight, not control, I would have a my life back and would be able to return to work at 33. So, it's personal to me.

RAEGAN FAN: you need to get in touch with reality bro. Your Golden Standard that you speak of, of being fair in the first place, doesn't work. If it did, we would live in a "WE ARE THE WORLD" song kind of world. People do discriminate, racism is still a big problem, and it's congress's job, FYI, to make this world as fair and equal as possible. We are founded on equality as a principle, meaning we are equal. We aren't and no one lives by the honesty policy you think (LOL) is past-time thinking.
It is not government’s job, it is your job and my job it is the people, the individual person to make it a better world for all. Not control us. know the principals this country was founded on. Congress continues to surpass record levels of borrowing and spending; these habits are reckless and will not lead our country forward. We need less government not more! Think about what you can do for your country. Blessings.
@louisvillepoet A simple suggestion... when U reply to my thread, try clicking on the "Reply" button on the upper RH side of the content you wish to comment on. This saves you from looking, uh, less poetic when addressing me (TheReaganfan, not RAEGAN FAN)... I see that all sense of reason has flew out the window from my previous discussions and so, I will no longer contribute as it appears they now have lost all meaning.
Throughout the current recession, families across the country have been forced to get their household budget in order by saving more and spending less. Yet Congress continues to surpass record levels of borrowing and spending. These habits are reckless and likely impede the economic recovery they are meant to generate. Rather than adding to an already bloated federal deficit, Congress must act more like families in our regions, who have found reasonable ways to cut and control their spending.
Congress must stop giving themselves raises and exempting themselves from the laws they force on the people they must stop wasteful spending. These jobs are term positions not careers they become corrupted with MONEY AND POWER WITHOUT FAITH. I believe in God and Capitalism that is what made this country great the people, not Big Controlling Government! Since when is it a crime to believe in Christ which teaches morals and integrity SORELY LACKING IN WASHINGTON! Kudos to Rand Paul.

Congress can't exempt themselves from the laws, its actually against the law to do so. Second, Congress stopped give themselves raises a couple years ago didn't get one this year, won't get one next year.
@InYourFaceCTM I was in the real world, where we look up information instead of relying on spam email. There's no part of HCR that governs the average citizen which doesn't apply to congress. The same requirements to carry insurance applies, the same regulations on insurance they carry applies. There is an exemption for leaders where they will continue to get insurance from work, whereas other members in congres are auto-dropped. But that's no diff than your job offering u insurance.
While countless Americans began losing their jobs as the recession deepened, federal workers saw their pay increase between 2% and 3% each of the last three years. This bill H.R. 5146 has been submitted to block congressional salaries, current controlled democrats block the bill. But, freezing federal wages at current levels is a rational way for the federal government to begin controlling its costs and will save $2 billion in the first year alone, $30 Billion in 10 years.
@InYourFaceCTM federal workers are American citizens too. I know about a dozen people who work for the department of defense. I own a business I gave a 2% raise to my employees, i have no idea if they got a raise in the dept of defense or not.. BUT I don't see a reason why they shouldn't. One of my buddies would be making 10 times as much in the private sector. However congress pay is frozen, HR 5146 passed months ago. If this is an issue you care about y are you so uninformed?
The thing that stump me the best is how Rand Paul decide to invited several bishops and preachers that were away on vacation to decide to speak reporters via email when Jack Conway did that religious attack ad. Paul should have been continue his message how his faith is truthful and didn't need to hired no one to support his faithfulness. those preachers should have volunteer for themselves, not the other way another. Rand Paul is losing my political faith on him.
Rand Paul is possibly the craziest candidate running for office today... I don't really care about the religion stuff. But Paul's policies are crazy. From his $2000 medicare deductibles, to his inability to talk about his tax plan.. be it, a fair tax, or anything else, why can't he talk about it? His attack on everything from schools to the ADA. Paul is psychotic. Does anyone here actually agree with any policy he's promising?
@MrJdubs82 Medicare is broke. Obamacare cuts $500 Billion from Medicare over next 10 years. Where's the money coming from? The 2k is a (proposed way, maybe not the most popular way) that Rand Paul is wanting to talk about in order to eliminate a single payer system for the trillion dollar Obamacare monstrosity. I'm not a licensed psychologist, so I cannot who is crazy. However, I do know what the definition of insanity is, and most of Washington DC today is in dire need of therapy!
@TheReaganfan I'm assuming you aren't intentionally trying to be misleading and you simply are ignorant of the differences between various medicare plans. Bush's prescription drug plan is horrible, Obama cuts it in favor of simply closing the doughnut whole, instead of giving money to companies, so those companies can buy insurance plans, and seniors and use those. In that system, 2 out of every 3 dollars spent was for administrative stuff. Why are you against cutting that sorta waste?
@TheReaganfan I don't even know what "The 2k is a (proposed way, maybe not the most popular way) that Rand Paul is wanting to talk about in order to eliminate a single payer system for the trillion dollar Obamacare monstrosity."
means, "Obamacare" isn't a single payer system, it isn't even a...medicare insurance plan or system at all. Its just a handful of regulations on insurance companies, along with a ton of tax credits to help people buy insurance.
@TheReaganfan What are the merits in your mind behind a $2000.00 deducatable? According to Rand Paul, its because if you make treatment more expensive for seniors, they won't use it as much and will be pickier about when they go to the doctor, and thus that'll drive down costs. Now it will drive down costs, he's right, but I dont think seniors should have to ration their care as a method of price control. Rand Paul is a horrible candidate. What policies do u support?
@MrJdubs82 I didn't say I agree with Dr. Paul's philosophy of his 2k deductible, I simply said to let him bring the topic to the table for debate. I'll try 2 keep my HC policy wish list short. 1)Transform Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP so that individuals and families have a broad choice of health plans and providers and that those providers are directly accountable to patients for their quality of care.
@MrJdubs82 2) Transform private health insurance so that individuals & families are able to own and control their own policies and take them from job to job without tax or regulatory penalties. Currently, 9% of Americans directly purchase their own health insurance. I would like this increase to 50% in 10 years.
@MrJdubs82 3) Transform health care financing to create new opportunities for individuals and families so they control the flow of dollars into the system. Currently, only $3.50 out of every $100 is spent by individuals for the direct purchase of private coverage. I would like to see that amount grow to $50 out of every $100 over the next 10 years.
@TheReaganfan I consider your ideas much more reasonable, I believe health insurance should be something done on the individual level. moreso than through the work place. The problem with this is simply how insurance rates are calculated. Insurance companies do not want cheap individual plans. Generally speaking you get... appendicitis, you cost the insurance company more for a couple days than you pay in premiums in 3 years. By encourage group(workplace) plans they pool risk.
@TheReaganfan As for 3) i don't even see how that's done legislatively,also I would be interested in seeing where these numbers actually come from. As for Rand Paul. To me bad policies = not voting for.Your I assume further to the right than me and you don't even agree with the guy's actually policies. Why does anyone support him? This faith/religion ads stuff is like picking your doctor by the car they drive instead of how good of a doctor they are, if his policies are bad. he's bad.
@blaineur what specific policy do you support. It seems like im alot more knowledgeable about Paul's actually policy positions than his supporters. If you want to talk about the Constitution, fine, what has he done to make you say he supports the Constitution? Why are you so proud of not caring about actual policies and issues?
@MrJdubs82 So, we must change laws and regulations at the fed & state level to enable individuals and families to own & control their own health care policies. Individuals & families should be able to buy the health care plans they want at the price they wish to pay. Health plans and providers should be forced to compete on a level playing field in a free & open market where government will not be in the business of picking winners & losers.
@TheReaganfan you may WANT an increase in individual plans, but insurance companies won't. And I don't know how you transform the actuarial math which encourages pooled risks. NOW I believe the exchange marketplace in HCR is a step towards inidivudals purchasing more customized, individual plans, because it allows insurance companies a larger pool of healthy people who are legally required to buy insurance. It also allows them to customized plans moreso than they can today.
THe REAGANFAN: Personally, I am not sticking up for Conway, nor promoting Paul; I'd prefer neither to be honest. What I fear is, what will affect me by the election of either based on their views. Since I am a disabled female, and Paul is very much against affirmitive action and doing away with the ADA, I fear my opportunities will be restricted; a legitimate fear I think.
@louisvillepoet - OK, I can understand your point of view and appreciate your candor. Just an observation on my part here, so please don't take it offensive, but I noticed that you used the term "fear" in your comment at least 3 times. Silly me, but when I usually act on 'fear' (be it voting, or at work, or ?) "fear" usually has it's hold on me, and my world is not better because of it. Please don't vote out of fear - Ur giving the pollsters and pundits too much credit and power over you!
I am a small business owner it’s my money, my time that went into making my business who better to decide than me to hire not Big Government who does not care about the people, I pay taxes into the controlled system whether I make money or not. We can not afford all these tax hikes we will have to let go more people to keep up with Congress taxing. I believe in Capitalism and that’s what made this country great. It’s time for a REAL change in Congress!
@InYourFaceCTM ...you're a small business owner and you're saying the government is telling you who to hire? You're obviously making stuff up. Small business owners do actually exists and people like you hurt our real business with your fake lies. The fact is Rand Paul's policies, are bad for business. All that repeating talking points is stupid, look at his actual policies. Your taxes are at the lowest point in decades, if you actually ran a business you'd know that.
Our taxes are lower now we still have the Bush tax cuts, not the case in 2011 when Obama's tax hikes hit! Mr. jdub you need to learn about history and pay attention to other sources, not sure where you get your info, but your in the dark. It's small businesses that make up a good deal of hiring, check the facts. Blessings...
can someone please tell me why ppl speak of this man like his is jesus reincarnated? what is this cult-like trance that makes you love and adore him so?
@louisvillepoet speaking only for myself, I don't adore him so much, but I do appreciate his stance on Faith, Freedom to pursue our Dreams without the Over-Regulation & Obstruction of Government (both local, State, and Federal), and the Pursuit of Happiness. The founding fathers knew this to be true and I believe that Rand Paul understands this too. Jack Conway does not have a track record of upholding these virtues. Speaking of Cult/Idol Worship - How about that guy Barack Obama in 2008?
@TheReaganfan Why do you believe this? His policies are openly distructive to small businesses. I don't care about his faith, my issue with him are his policies. he won't even talk about his tax plan. A $2000 medicare deductible is simply crazy. What policies of his do you support that actually match up with your flowery "pursue our Dreams" talk. As a business owner, I fear Rand Paul more so than any other person running for office today. He's simply horrible.
Even if he wasn't running, there is no excuse for Conway or anyone else to attack someone because of their religion. Conway is desperate, and is clutching at any straw. Attacking Dr. Paul's religion may well be the straw that will break Conway's back.
Got it twisted brother. They were put into law because of discrimination. I know, for a fact. being disabled, without the protected of the ADA, I would never have the same equal opportunity at a job than my healthy counterpart. You cannot tell me, being real, about human nature, and how the world works, that it isn't true. Same thing with affirmitive action; it ensures that this isn't just a WHITE MAN's WORLD; a place where minorities, of whatever kind, have a CHANCE.
@louisvillepoet hmm, sounds like U need to pull your foot outta Ur mouth right now. Here's a news flash for ya - The World is NOT Fair! And, this is true for EVERYONE, not just minorities, disabled, and the like, but for ALL of us. If I was an employer and wanted the best qualified person for the position I am offering, I would be an idiot & a discriminatory racist to hire someone based on their color, and not on their Skills or Talents! Time to let go of your past stinking thinking...
@TheReaganfan Bravo for you! It's time to get rid of reverse discrimination, quotas, and other garbage that is keeping the people unemployed. I WANTED to hire someone who had Six Sigma certification, but because the minority applicants didn't have it, I was told to hire them, OR ELSE! So I hired no one, and did the work myself (I'm Six Sigma QUALIFIED).
You don't get to be a doctor because you're a moron, and you don't work with me if you're an idiot.
@mbabist01 I don't believe your story at all. Where are you working where you have actual racial quotes? (Also 6 sigma is a joke... odds are your boss, felt that a minority candidate was more qualified, and could careless about a six sigma cert. )
@mbabist01 i simply asked what specific policies do you Rand Paul supporters, actually support of his... so far 3 people have stop responding, you said I'm on drugs. And another gave a bumper sticker answer. Why is it crazy to expect someone running for office to actually have policy positions that are good for the country?
@MrJdubs82 - ending U.S imperialism.... ending monetary inflation.... de regulating and lowering tax on industry. I could keep going but just doing that would be enough to fix America better than any neo-con or democrat ever would.
@an0m0nus ending monetary inflation by, what I assume is lowering debt, strengthening the dollar.......the problem is in the next sentence you make a call for lower taxes, which lowers gov income. What specific cuts, valued at how much is the guy talking about doing? I would support a cut, but lets say you attack education spending in DC. That cuts deep into Kentucky school budgets... I wouldn't support that. So just saying "cut spending" without actually specific cuts is meaningless.
@MrJdubs82 Absoultely wrong - every time the government has lowered the income tax burden on the individual - the growth in the economy has increased the government's revenue. These facts are available - check them out.
Tip O'neil and his Deocrat controlled congress just spent every extra dime they received, as has Nancy Pelosi'd since 2006 when she took over.
@eussar ...governement revenue has increased every year except 5 since 1962; two of those years were 2002 and 2003 following Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001; aka the first round of Bush tax cuts..
The differences between Reagan's budget and the budget that passed were as followed: $51, $35, −$11, $6, $17, $10, $40 and $50 billion dollars. So out of the 1.6 trillion added to the deficit, 1.4 of it was direction from Reagan's budget. so what are you talking about?
@an0m0nus btw...i do agree with ending US imperialism; however I've never really heard, or seen any evidence of specific policies Paul supports towards that goal
@MrJdubs82 Please, exactly - describe "American Imperialism" - because I don't know of one nation we "conquered" and took over in the 20th century.
Have we played "politics" to our own demise - yes - but we are not 19th century Europe or even 19th century America...please get with the 21st century.
@eussar We've wasted time, money, lives, "nation building" we've spent too much money trying to pick winners, be it Bin Ladin or Pakistan. I have no problem with smart arms deals, or defending this country when needed. But using our money and military as a world police, or even worse "spreading democracy" is a waste.
The problem with Rand Paul is he does not have policies which will do ANYTHING good for this country. I'd rather the Delaware witch win than Paul.
@TheReaganfan I am an employer, and equal protection laws don't prevent anyone from hiring based on skills and talents. If a person in a wheelchair is less talented or skilled than someone else. I don't have to hire them. But if they are more skilled, and the only reason I can come up with is, I don't like people who are disabled.. than that would violate the law and is the reason for it. Your complaints are unfounded, and just silly. Rand Paul is a psycho.
Our history of this country was based on God. Since when as it become a crime to mention God? We need God and the teaching of Christ to turn this country around, that’s what is missing nowadays that’s what made America Blessed. Positions in office are terms not careers; we need less government not more. Any law that is passed in congress including the president needs to be kept by them too, not one law for the people and exempt laws for congress like our healthcare bill and others.
it still doesn't take away from the fact that he wants to basically implement, basically, discrimination policies; to let private business decide who to hire, etc.. he doesn't beleive in affirmative action and wants to do away with the ADA. For a perfectly healthy white man, applying for a job, that's great news. For a not only a female, but one with a disabiliity, like myself, that means even more odds stacked against me and twenty steps backward. It encourages discrimination. that is not ok
@louisvillepoet Basically Affirmative Action IS discrimination. Basically Affimative Action IS employing people based on their Skin Color, not their Skills or Talents. Basically, Affirmative Action IS Racism. And Racism and Discrimination is NOT ok. And That's a Fact.
@louisvillepoet Basically Affirmative Action IS discrimination. Basically Affirmative Action IS employing people based on their Skin Color, not their Skills or Talents. Basically, Affirmative Action IS Racism. And Racism and Discrimination is NOT ok. And That's a Fact.
@VoyageOfExistence Yes leftist Voyage, Rand is a joke. Such factual evidence in your comment is clearly enough for all of us to believe he's a joke.
Yes yes, a man who is not a career politician, who believes in a non-interventionist government, a constitutional government and not wanted a big federal government always interjecting in the personal liberty of our lives is a joke compared to......Jack the moron Conway.
@latinarepublican -that's spelled "piece" and "versus", numbnuts. You spelled all the profanity correctly, though. You are an excellent advertisement for the neo-neocon movement. keep up the good work, bootlicker.
by his standars yes i am. a am 33, and have a chronic pain syndrome, and he wants to do away with the ADA act. Just to ensure that "losers" like me are discriminated against. He preaches discrimination, and you, are a cowardly follower spewing the discrimination. Excuse me for wanting to walk, have a sense of normalcy, and have an equal opportunity to have a job as my health, uninjured counterparts....I guess that makes me a loser huh? God is good, thank goodness, with the hate you and he spew.
interesting that you just quote what rand paul's response was like a puppet. to be real, politics are dirty, on all levels. NO news flash. Jack Conway didn't invent dirty politics and rand paul has run his own too. I would want to maintain a private source if I had been tied up too. He didn't deny it either hun. He just made himself a victim. He needs to man up. By evading the question, he misses the opportunity to make sense out of something that sounds a little crazy. No, rather be victim.
I guess tying up women is something he had to do too? Selective hearing. Poor victim of his own choices. What? Is everyone on drugs but me? He is running for office, the past comes up, come on, when you have a shady past, it becomes public...that's NOTHING NEW..Happens every time there's an election, Jack Conway didn't invent this. He acts like a victim, begs for decency, but can't shake hands with Conway? TACKY.
@louisvillepoet Is it serious to make accusations about the man from an unknown anonomus source who won't even come forward to set the rechord straight?
Even if you disagree with Rand Paul and wouldn't vote for him... there has to be a certain standard. This election has to be fought on a much higher intellectual ground, is Conway really saying that this rumour is the most pressing issue to debate on? Honestly?
People complain about "dirty politics" but won't condem this? I don't get it
yes Goober, unsubstantiated rumor. The girl herself spoke up weeks ago and revealed she knew at the time of the incident it was just college fraternity pranks and she felt no compulsion or coercion, just wacky fun. You can disagree with a man's point of view, but you don't get to lie about him to support your own misinformed point of view.
I think making such a big deal out of such an idiotic commercial is a mistake. Let it go. If he brings it up in the next debate just tell everyone it was a college prank, find the girl & have her make a commercial saying so.
@hyslopcharles -Although almost 90 percent of Americans say they are religious, and 96 percent of them own a Bible, few apparently have read it. According to a Pew Research study, the majority of Americans don't know that Genesis is the first book of the Bible. Half of high school seniors think Sodom and Gomorrah were a married couple. One in 10 Americans believes that Joan of Arc was Noah's wife.
Personaly I agree with Rand Paul. If people of any faith, or even agnostics, Muslims, Jew's ect. ect. can run for office, and the US still states ( freedom of religion ) then a persons religion is NOT relivant to the credibality of the candate.
These dung-o-rats are becoming quite famous for digging up crap and if they can't find none they make it up. They can't campaign on the issues because they know their shit stinks so they attack their opponents character. I am s o proud of Rand Paul and the stand he took against this kind of gutter politics. He is a good man and has my vote.
Rand is calm yet so powerful when standing up to attacks and standing for liberty. I hope the people of Kentucky elect him and help the people of America regain our Constitutional Republic.
It's about time someone stood up to the disgustingly evil attacks of the left. What they do is no more than bearing false witness, and shows their lack of decency and their lack of moral values. Good for Rand Paul, standing strong for Christ, for his faith, for his family and for his moral values. As for Conway, he is no more than a demonic slug from HELL, which is where he will dwell in eternity if he doesn't change his ways.
That was just what this country needed to hear from a senatorial candidate this year. Too much slander, mud-slinging, and downright dirty and shameless politicians wade through the mud and gutter just to win! Well, this Christian American would be proud to vote for a stand up guy like Rand Paul. If his Politics are as good as the opening to that speech, America will be back on track in no time.. Good luck Mr. Paul
Some of our conservative candidates may not be the most polished, or may not be ATTORNEYS (yay), however, if you have the conservative vision for our country to spend less, less government, and back to gaining jobs in the private sector...you know these candidates will vote the right way.
I'm standing on my couch in New York, yes, New York, and CHEERING for a man who HAS BACKBONE and REFUSES to be intimidated!!! Bring some of that to NY and get rid of the COMMUNISTS!! THEY'RE KILLING US!!!
@NewYawkahBroad I'm sorry that New Yorkers don't have the opportunity to vote for a Rand Paul.You do have Paladino(who gets some things right),but it looks like New Yorkers will again do the dumb thing and elect Cuomo the Clown.
I am glad that there is a Pro-Life Candidate running for office. Unfortunately, we don't have that up here in Connecticut, though I wish we did. We need more candidates like Rand Paul, who defend Faith & Family, instead of those who are more interested in playing governmental politics. Kudos to Rand Paul.
Amen, Mr. Paul. Our prayers are with you and your family, and your success at keeping people like your opponent out of government office. He does not represent the people.
@Patriot042 You are absolutely right. We all need to repent some, and bring Gd back into the fold of our lives. The Muslim Extremism is our punishment here.
@sarahgittel I think you're absolutely right! This is what happens (all throughout history) when Christians drop the ball and stumble. We've GOT to get back on track with the Lord!
@Patriot042 - get back on track by waging a holy war against the infidel muslims - and then you attack muslims for wanting to do the same thing. My favorite historical clash -ignorant hypocrites against ignorant hypocrites.
@bnfox Its nice to see someone that reads history books. You can find very clear and quite truthful history of Palestine Jews and Israel in ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITTANNICA.
You can also read an authentic bible, the Document the Jews have to their religion and connected to their Homeland in Israel.
I would not trust a simple history book written today. The old books are just as good for learning that part of world history.
@sarahgittel - I have been sorting through propaganda, books, media and revisionism for nearly 40 years now and am quite skilled at separating the wheat from the chaff. That is how I arrived at the fact that roughly 80% of Americans know very little about economics, politics, religion, art, music, literature,film, politics, science, geography, or much of anything that they don't get from TV. It's not that I am so smart - it's that they are so dumb. Why would you trust an encyclopedia?
@bnfox Americans are busy watching Dancing with the Stars and Hollywood. That does not mean that Brittannica is not authentic. There are many books that back Brittannica. I am sure you did not look at them.
@bnfox I am thinking you dont read at all. Encyclopedias are very clear. Maybe its too much for your head. Brittannica simply records the history that already happened. I simply refer it because it is not Jewish and is not biased.
What is your conclusion from all thge books you read in all these years?
@sarahgittel - encyclopedias and even old books are all part of a history carefully orchestrated by those in power to revise history and everything else to fit their version and validate their power and systems - older books and encyclopedias as well as textbooks would be the worst sources of information.
@phatslapper - I don't blame Bush - I'm just giving credit where credit is due. I know he still looks pretty good to you warmonger new fake patriots who just discovered the Constitution about 2 years ago. as long as it was YOUR asshole taking a crap on it for 8 years, everything was cool. I detest Obama, too, and never supported him or voted for him - i just hate you opportunist posers even more.
@bnfox You are pathetic.. You don't know me. I have been inerested in politics for a very long time now. Please don't be mad at me for having an opinion. You make youself look like an ass.
@phatslapper - bipolar bottomfeeding clueless neocon fake patriot bootlicker...and oh yes - fuck you and your extended family of inbred hillbilly trailer trash. I DO live in America but not your fucked up fantasyland of racist fundamentalism,islamophobia, warmongering, TV brainwashing, big gulps and kiddie porn - I live in an America where people read the Constitution before becoming hate fueled fake patriots just in the last 18 months.BTW - watching Fox news 24/7 isn't "studying politics"....
@bnfox Dude, I travle the world on a regular basis. I hear what people around the world thinks about you morons. So keep running your mouth with your blinders on and enjoy the Koolaid!
@bnfox I live in TX. SO, that isa was I mean by strapped. If you a smart enough to figure it out. As for the guitar comment. That was funny as hell.. I must say!!
Ken MacMillan, you obviously have never personally known a true Christian. Sir, you offend me and speak of me ignorantly without knowing me. How can you say what I believe. My father gave his entire life in service of brown people in the mountains of a South American country in the name of the gospel of Christ. He would die himself before he would raise a hand against another. He is an example of a true Christian, sir, and his life puts you and your words to shame.
It takes more courage and integrity than too many do not have to make and ethical stand. Rand Paul's example is one for all to follow, regardless of religion, because, finally, it is in the service of life and liberty that this fine man pushes forward. Statesman, yes, politico, no. He could sit at table with the founders and they would meet his eye. I trust the same cannot be said of his opponent. On the contrary, the founders might prefer to dine alone in the kitchen--or the stable.
Whether you are Christian or not, whether you believe in abortion rights or not, RAND PAUL is one of only a few people who understands that the government has NO ROLE in the issue in the first place. RAND stands for "We the people-" first and he will not sell us out to the NWO banking cartels or Wall Street!
@KenMacMillan -BTW - I completely support Rand Paul and have utter respect for his beliefs as I do all "truly" religious people - those who grasp the true secrets that spirituality has to offer. I would guess many Muslims, like Christians, have little grasp of a truly religious life and what it should entail. Again, history with it's unending religious and ethnic violence supports this view strongly. Here we have a nation of Christians who don't go to church or read the bible.
Conway is a typical DC gutter snake. Time to play hardball with those who pride themselves on being political hard- ballers. I am an ex-Kentucky resident but came to love the state and its people in my time there. I sent Rand Paul a donation because I believe it is the best for the country as a whole to replace Conway types with Rand Paul types.
@KenMacMillan -always a good topic - like how with all the religious hatred we have now - Jews, Muslims, and Christians each attacking the others for raising their kids to hate and kill the other "non'believers" - ironic, since they are all doing it.
Theoretically, If he, Paul, was a muslim, and Jack poopooed him....... the middle east would already have a price on Jack's head. and the US Media would smear jack flat as a pancake.

Throughout the current recession, families across the country have been forced to get their household budget in order by saving more and spending less. Yet Congress continues to surpass record levels of borrowing and spending. These habits are reckless and likely impede the economic recovery they are meant to generate. Rather than adding to an already bloated federal deficit, Congress must act more like families in our regions, who have found reasonable ways to cut and control their spending.

While countless Americans began losing their jobs as the recession deepened, federal workers saw their pay increase between 2% and 3% each of the last three years. This bill H.R. 5146 has been submitted to block congressional salaries, current controlled democrats block the bill. But, freezing federal wages at current levels is a rational way for the federal government to begin controlling its costs and will save $2 billion in the first year alone, $30 Billion in 10 years.

@InYourFaceCTM federal workers are American citizens too. I know about a dozen people who work for the department of defense.

The thing that stump me the best is how Rand Paul decide to invited several bishops and preachers that were away on vacation to decide to speak reporters via email when Jack Conway did that religious attack ad.

Rand Paul is possibly the craziest candidate running for office today... I don't really care about the religion stuff. But Paul's policies are crazy. From his $2000 medicare deductibles, to his inability to talk about his tax plan.. be it, a fair tax, or anything else, why can't he talk about it? His attack on everything from schools to the ADA. Paul is psychotic. Does anyone here actually agree with any policy he's promising?

@MrJdubs82 Medicare is broke. Obamacare cuts $500 Billion from Medicare over next 10 years. Where's the money coming from?

I'm not a licensed psychologist, so I cannot who is crazy. However, I do know what the definition of insanity is, and most of Washington DC today is in dire need of therapy!

@TheReaganfan I'm assuming you aren't intentionally trying to be misleading and you simply are ignorant of the differences between various medicare plans. Bush's prescription drug plan is horrible, Obama cuts it in favor of simply closing the doughnut whole, instead of giving money to companies, so those companies can buy insurance plans, and seniors and use those. In that system, 2 out of every 3 dollars spent was for administrative stuff. Why are you against cutting that sorta waste?

@TheReaganfan I don't even know what "The 2k is a (proposed way, maybe not the most popular way) that Rand Paul is wanting to talk about in order to eliminate a single payer system for the trillion dollar Obamacare monstrosity."
means, "Obamacare" isn't a single payer system, it isn't even a...medicare insurance plan or system at all. Its just a handful of regulations on insurance companies, along with a ton of tax credits to help people buy insurance.
MrJdubs82 1 year ago
@TheReaganfan What are the merits in your mind behind a $2000.00 deducatable? According to Rand Paul, its because if you make treatment more expensive for seniors, they won't use it as much and will be pickier about when they go to the doctor, and thus that'll drive down costs. Now it will drive down costs, he's right, but I dont think seniors should have to ration their care as a method of price control. Rand Paul is a horrible candidate. What policies do u support?
MrJdubs82 1 year ago
@MrJdubs82 I didn't say I agree with Dr. Paul's philosophy of his 2k deductible, I simply said to let him bring the topic to the table for debate. I'll try 2 keep my HC policy wish list short. 1)Transform Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP so that individuals and families have a broad choice of health plans and providers and that those providers are directly accountable to patients for their quality of care.
TheReaganfan 1 year ago
@MrJdubs82 2) Transform private health insurance so that individuals & families are able to own and control their own policies and take them from job to job without tax or regulatory penalties. Currently, 9% of Americans directly purchase their own health insurance. I would like this increase to 50% in 10 years.
TheReaganfan 1 year ago
@MrJdubs82 3) Transform health care financing to create new opportunities for individuals and families so they control the flow of dollars into the system. Currently, only $3.50 out of every $100 is spent by individuals for the direct purchase of private coverage. I would like to see that amount grow to $50 out of every $100 over the next 10 years.
TheReaganfan 1 year ago
@TheReaganfan I consider your ideas much more reasonable, I believe health insurance should be something done on the individual level. moreso than through the work place. The problem with this is simply how insurance rates are calculated. Insurance companies do not want cheap individual plans. Generally speaking you get... appendicitis, you cost the insurance company more for a couple days than you pay in premiums in 3 years. By encourage group(workplace) plans they pool risk.
MrJdubs82 1 year ago
@TheReaganfan As for 3) i don't even see how that's done legislatively,also I would be interested in seeing where these numbers actually come from. As for Rand Paul. To me bad policies = not voting for.Your I assume further to the right than me and you don't even agree with the guy's actually policies. Why does anyone support him? This faith/religion ads stuff is like picking your doctor by the car they drive instead of how good of a doctor they are, if his policies are bad. he's bad.

MrJdubs82 1 year ago
@MrJdubs82 So, we must change laws and regulations at the fed & state level to enable individuals and families to own & control their own health care policies. Individuals & families should be able to buy the health care plans they want at the price they wish to pay. Health plans and providers should be forced to compete on a level playing field in a free & open market where government will not be in the business of picking winners & losers.
TheReaganfan 1 year ago
@TheReaganfan you may WANT an increase in individual plans, but insurance companies won't. And I don't know how you transform the actuarial math which encourages pooled risks. NOW I believe the exchange marketplace in HCR is a step towards inidivudals purchasing more customized, individual plans, because it allows insurance companies a larger pool of healthy people who are legally required to buy insurance. It also allows them to customized plans moreso than they can today.

I guess tying up women is something he had to do too? Selective hearing. Poor victim of his own choices. What? Is everyone on drugs but me? He is running for office, the past comes up, come on, when you have a shady past, it becomes public...that's NOTHING NEW..Happens every time there's an election, Jack Conway didn't invent this. He acts like a victim, begs for decency, but can't shake hands with Conway? TACKY.

@louisvillepoet Is it serious to make accusations about the man from an unknown anonomus source who won't even come forward to set the rechord straight?
Even if you disagree with Rand Paul and wouldn't vote for him... there has to be a certain standard. This election has to be fought on a much higher intellectual ground, is Conway really saying that this rumour is the most pressing issue to debate on? Honestly?
People complain about "dirty politics" but won't condem this? I don't get it

yes Goober, unsubstantiated rumor. The girl herself spoke up weeks ago and revealed she knew at the time of the incident it was just college fraternity pranks and she felt no compulsion or coercion, just wacky fun. You can disagree with a man's point of view, but you don't get to lie about him to support your own misinformed point of view.

@hyslopcharles -Although almost 90 percent of Americans say they are religious, and 96 percent of them own a Bible, few apparently have read it. According to a Pew Research study, the majority of Americans don't know that Genesis is the first book of the Bible. Half of high school seniors think Sodom and Gomorrah were a married couple. One in 10 Americans believes that Joan of Arc was Noah's wife.

Personaly I agree with Rand Paul. If people of any faith, or even agnostics, Muslims, Jew's ect. ect. can run for office, and the US still states ( freedom of religion ) then a persons religion is NOT relivant to the credibality of the candate.

These dung-o-rats are becoming quite famous for digging up crap and if they can't find none they make it up. They can't campaign on the issues because they know their shit stinks so they attack their opponents character. I am s o proud of Rand Paul and the stand he took against this kind of gutter politics. He is a good man and has my vote.

It's about time someone stood up to the disgustingly evil attacks of the left. What they do is no more than bearing false witness, and shows their lack of decency and their lack of moral values. Good for Rand Paul, standing strong for Christ, for his faith, for his family and for his moral values. As for Conway, he is no more than a demonic slug from HELL, which is where he will dwell in eternity if he doesn't change his ways.

That was just what this country needed to hear from a senatorial candidate this year. Too much slander, mud-slinging, and downright dirty and shameless politicians wade through the mud and gutter just to win! Well, this Christian American would be proud to vote for a stand up guy like Rand Paul. If his Politics are as good as the opening to that speech, America will be back on track in no time.. Good luck Mr. Paul

Some of our conservative candidates may not be the most polished, or may not be ATTORNEYS (yay), however, if you have the conservative vision for our country to spend less, less government, and back to gaining jobs in the private sector...you know these candidates will vote the right way.

I am glad that there is a Pro-Life Candidate running for office. Unfortunately, we don't have that up here in Connecticut, though I wish we did. We need more candidates like Rand Paul, who defend Faith & Family, instead of those who are more interested in playing governmental politics. Kudos to Rand Paul.

@bnfox Its nice to see someone that reads history books. You can find very clear and quite truthful history of Palestine Jews and Israel in ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITTANNICA.
You can also read an authentic bible, the Document the Jews have to their religion and connected to their Homeland in Israel.
I would not trust a simple history book written today. The old books are just as good for learning that part of world history.
sarahgittel 1 year ago
@sarahgittel - I have been sorting through propaganda, books, media and revisionism for nearly 40 years now and am quite skilled at separating the wheat from the chaff. That is how I arrived at the fact that roughly 80% of Americans know very little about economics, politics, religion, art, music, literature,film, politics, science, geography, or much of anything that they don't get from TV. It's not that I am so smart - it's that they are so dumb. Why would you trust an encyclopedia?

@bnfox Americans are busy watching Dancing with the Stars and Hollywood. That does not mean that Brittannica is not authentic. There are many books that back Brittannica. I am sure you did not look at them.

@bnfox I am thinking you dont read at all. Encyclopedias are very clear. Maybe its too much for your head. Brittannica simply records the history that already happened. I simply refer it because it is not Jewish and is not biased.

Ken MacMillan, you obviously have never personally known a true Christian. Sir, you offend me and speak of me ignorantly without knowing me. How can you say what I believe. My father gave his entire life in service of brown people in the mountains of a South American country in the name of the gospel of Christ. He would die himself before he would raise a hand against another. He is an example of a true Christian, sir, and his life puts you and your words to shame.
Aant0ni0carman 1 year ago
It takes more courage and integrity than too many do not have to make and ethical stand. Rand Paul's example is one for all to follow, regardless of religion, because, finally, it is in the service of life and liberty that this fine man pushes forward. Statesman, yes, politico, no. He could sit at table with the founders and they would meet his eye. I trust the same cannot be said of his opponent. On the contrary, the founders might prefer to dine alone in the kitchen--or the stable.

Whether you are Christian or not, whether you believe in abortion rights or not, RAND PAUL is one of only a few people who understands that the government has NO ROLE in the issue in the first place. RAND stands for "We the people-" first and he will not sell us out to the NWO banking cartels or Wall Street!

@KenMacMillan -BTW - I completely support Rand Paul and have utter respect for his beliefs as I do all "truly" religious people - those who grasp the true secrets that spirituality has to offer. I would guess many Muslims, like Christians, have little grasp of a truly religious life and what it should entail. Again, history with it's unending religious and ethnic violence supports this view strongly. Here we have a nation of Christians who don't go to church or read the bible.
