I read somewhere that when they established income tax (a temporary measure to help finance World War I) that some worrywart wanted a %15 cap so it wouldn't get out of control. They nearly laughed him off the floor for such a silly idea. It'd never get that high!

It was over 90% during the wars.

So from that I take it that Ronald McDonald will not get Arthurs vote for president.
:P
Edit; sorry that rant was just so surreal in the middle of a thread about the US presidential election...

Yeah, real gift: Hmm, what three things set off active discussions on A.cc? Politics, Religion, and New Girlfriend/Girlfriend left me and my dog died. I think I'll start a politics thread!

::)

Ron Paul is the Ross Perot of 2008. He'll never win.

Edit: Nice, it'd be better in color though; I wanna see that red headed b@stard bleed... :P

Nonnus: No need to be cynical or jealous. May your lesbian girlfriend pray to God and Bush to forgive you.. :)

They aren't even similar; I don't know how you can compare them. Ron Paul is seeking the Republican nomination. If he doesn't get it, it's highly unlikely that he'll run as an independent. There's no way to win as an independent, and he has nothing to gain from it. Furthermore, it's not even possible to run as an independent in some states if you previously ran under a political party in that same campaign.

Ross Perot was self-financed; Ron Paul has received almost $20 million dollars from approximately 200,000 different individuals—in the past three months. No other candidate has that sort of enthusiastic support. His platform is popular, but unfortunately most of the people simply vote based on a single issue or on whomever seems to be the most "Christian."

Of course he's a long shot to win the Republican nomination, but if he were nominated, he'd have a good chance of winning the Presidency.

Here's a recent 40 minute interview.

Hey, she's not a lesbian, she's a wealthy hotel heiress....

Edit: and I have proof she's had sex with at least one guy...
