Your afternoon reading:
- "Ron Paul, well known as a physician, congressman and libertarian, has also been a businessman who pursued a marketing strategy that included publishing provocative, racially charged newsletters to make money and spread his ideas, according to three people with direct knowledge of Paul’s businesses. … Numerous colleagues said he does not hold racist views.

I guess y'all only need to get rid of Gingrich now to assure that Obama victory. Keep up the good work, Comrades.

LOL, Gingrich sank his own ship in the 90s with the government shutdown and attacking Medicare.

You are quite correct, Comrade Fung. And the media will ensure that no real Republican can win. The upshot of all that is, Texas will declare independence, so there's a positive ending at least.

Republicans got the US into this friggin mess, not Democrats. Though I wish the Democrats had more balls to remind the feeble one-issue voters of the quick-fix idiocy of these racist anti-immigration milionaires spewing hatred the masses lap up like pussy-milk. Let's tell these repubs to stop squabbling like fifth graders. Remember "George W Bush" the name nobody has the balls to EVER speak? He, and ONLY he took us from a record surplus to a record defecit in 8 short years.

Did anyone read this crap. They attack him with these claims. They never mention an associate until the end and that person denies that Paul was writing or editing the letters. I guess now that the person who actually write that filth has been released, they cant try to pin that in him anymore, so now let's try the edit and sign-off attack. Shameful!

On only obama has spent more money than other previous presidents combined. PLEASE! It's not just repub or just dems, it's BOTH. They attack from different sides, but they both attack.

Ron Paul is nuts!!!! Half his ideas are out there - like Pluto, the other half are dreams of a Utopian world - a dream world that however beautiful it might sound, it will NEVER be. Paul forgets that the position of president has little say in drastic/meaningful changes - the house & senate have ALL the TRUE power and they would NEVER vote for Ron Paul's Utopian world. Someone forgot to give Paul his medications......

I got couple o' questions; is the TNM for real and if you really secede you gonna give a amnesty to the wetbax? And Last but not least you guy wear those funny klan hoods at your meetings?

Sergio:
1. The TNM is for real. Three of our members are running in this year's primaries for state House seats.
2. There would be no "amnesty," but everyone would be allowed to declare their citizenship, be it Texan, Mexican or American.
3.Klansmen are not welcome at our meetings. We don't care what color you are.

We all have free speech right or does that only go for liberals?
Obama is a new black panther and has march with them in Alabama.
La Rasa is the race and always talking about every one else in color. Bottom line we are not perfect and the race issue will never go away until it is over over. Blacks and Mexicans are always looking for a chance to play the race card and whites are doing the same because they are tired of be accused of the race card so there you have get over it and try to live together with out killing one another.
Anyone but Obama!
Remember a vote for a democrat is a vote for Obama and illegal aliens , homosexuals and terrorist.
