Interesting Ron Paul Newsletter Excerpts

John "10,000 Years In Iraq" McCain?

Just related to politics in general, the NY Times is really raising the bar in terms of media delivery for the elections this year.

One of their cooler apps is Naming Names. (http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2007/12/15/us/politics/DEBATE.html) Mouse over a name and you'll see the frequency of how many candidates reference the selected candidate. They're all pretty much equal until you mouse over Clinton, and there's a firestorm of comments from EVERYone about her. Kind of makes you think everyone is concerned about her if everyone's talking that much. She's certainly Target #1 for both sides.

Also nice is the Election Guide (http://politics.nytimes.com/election-guide/2008/issues/index.html#/context=index/issue=health) which summarizes each candidates stance on various issues.

Also cool but maybe not as useful is the Candidate Schedule Tracker (http://politics.nytimes.com/election-guide/2008/schedules/pastevents/index.html#candidate99) which charts visits to various spots in the country.

It's cool to finally see some useful tools on the web and watching the sites really push the technology. I wish the company I worked for were a little more cutting edge like the NY Times...oh well.

I saw Hillary's crying moment the other day, and I am pretty sure she was method-acting. It makes me cringe to think about what sort of sick, perverted stuff she has to envision in her mind's eye to bring those tears forward. And the media all seem to have bought it. I thought they would have figured these people out by now.

Yeah... it was completely an act... but so is all of politics (at least presidential).

Say what you want, but... it looks like it worked. She won didn't she?

Polls revealed that she got the biggest bounce post-crying among older women. Whatever happened to hanging tough with the big boys?

She breaks just like a little girl...

The Federal government is WAY too big, and incredibly inefficient. They do a better job at wasting money than they do at anything else. Ron Paul realizes this.

To begin fixing America's problems, we first need to fix our budget.

He's not the ONLY one who realizes this, but he's definitely one of the most vocal.

Besides platitudes (e.g., "the government is too big" and "I don't like the war") what does he stand for? Many of his ideas look interesting at first glance, but, upon closer examination, they are actually quite nuts.

He was on CNN denouncing this newsletter excerpt. Desperate times calls for desperate measures?
