I enjoyed your Clint Eastwood ad script.  If the gun existed, and this ad were run, I would definitely see how crime rates would be almost non existent.

Why be allowed to carry it only on private property? Crimes are committed in public too. Think of the deterrence factor if the criminal has to be worried about being shot wherever he is committing a crime, not just in someone else's home.

Buddha, is there such a thing as murder in india? If the murderers don't have guns, how is this possible?  If a criminal wants to kill another person they will find a way. Gun, knife, rock or bare hands. Stop the BS already no new gun with dna will change anything.

OK, yeah, back on topic...........
I have a sneaking suspicion that the Intelligence and Defense Community as a bastard whole would be very nonplussed with Obama as President and some theorists will tell you they have ways of dealing with that situation.  Those educated in our nations history can make an educated guess as to what I'm inferring.

Why is it that 50,000 people show up to hear Barack speak yet only 10,000 show up to hear McCain speak?
McCain supporters actually have jobs.

India has an extremely low murder rate. Very very low incidence of most violent crime. Pickpockets are the worst crime you can think of. There are probably many many more accidental deaths than murders. However the mid 80's saw a rash of "bride burnings" in northern India. Ergo, you dont like your son's wife, you douse her with kerosene and light her up.
Then claim it was an accident. Only in the north, where joint families were common, they torch them and 20 of the people in the family will swear up and down that it was an accident when the stove caught her on fire.
Anyway, very very low murder rate, however India is rather seriously bound by some sorta moral code and ahimsa etc etc etc ...
Cool.

I am voting for McCain for many reasons, but here are some reasons why not to vote for Obama.  First, he has connections with known perpetrators of the morgage crisis who got mucho money out of the deal( actually he was the lawyer for ACORN, who was one of the main groups for the spread of sub prime mortgages. Second, he was in the senate for a total of 100 days before he started campaigning for President( most votes of which that time he voted 'present')-his prior job was community organizer.  Third, and finally, all he talks about is change and hope, change and hope---From one of my favorite politicians, Rudy Giuliani, "Hope is not a strategy, and chance is not a destination."  So anyone that tells you to vote for senator Obama because he's for "change and hope" :bs:, you can tell them to shove it- thats what I do.]

Why do people like this guy, who is he, what religion is he, what are his policies (the ones that haven't changed since he started campaigning), and what the hell is his middle name?

the mortage crisis as it is/were/was, started i believe in 1977 under jimmy carter?, (a democrat i blieve) wiht the cummunity reinvestment act. basically designed to give loans to those wiht marginal credit, mainly to help more and more realise teh american dream of home ownership. and that bill was VERY ramped up, in the mid 90's under clinto. soon thereafter jim johnson and scott rains, essentially started teh downfall of fannie and freddie. and now this errm fiasco has gone beyond our shores. and in essence is global now. and i hear dems, well libs mostly gripe about greedy ceo's but say nothing about those two. rains and johnson :dunno_white:, seems to gripe about mainly republican leaning type execs? who knows, ill be glad when this shaZam! is over. but alas, i fear it is far from it. only beginning :icon_confused:

I like most of Ron Paul's platform as well, but I know that my vote wouldn't could for much in the present election if I voted that way.  That's why I always vote for the 2 that have a chance...the Rep or Dem.  (Usually the Rep).  Anyways, not a grass roots kinda guy, cause I want it to actually count.  Not go into statistics a decade down the line that says...."see, this movement is growing"

I urge everyone that sees the true side of Obama, to not throw their votes away by voting outside of the 2 major parties.  This reason is probably why Obama will become president, because too many people don't really like either one, and they're going to go with an outside party.  Just think about what you're doing if you really don't want Obama in office.

I definitely see your point and am a little torn, but if everyone voted RP that liked his standpoints on the issues he would have a real chance and an even better chance 4 years down the line.  I'm not overly worried if BO wins.  It's nasty to say, but our DOD and Intelligence communities have ways of dealing with a President they dislike.

Grassroots Ron Paul is not.  He abides by the philosophy that the Republican party has historically stood for but has in recent times drifted from.  So, in reality, it is the majority of the Republican party that should be considered grassroots or extreme.

Yeah, I know what you mean.  :icon_rolleyes:

True...I'm using 'grassroots' a little loosely.  What I mean by it, is that he's not one of the two parties that have a chance.  It's rare that an outside party wins.

Only issue I don't like of Ron Paul's, is pulling stationed troops out of all the countries that we occupy.  I feel that our occupancy is what makes us so strong as a nation.  Everything else is great though.

Election's getting close, so I guess things will be getting more cut throat shortly.

Just remember, at the end of the day...  :cheers:

Baloney.  He will become President because people prefer his policies.  If Ron Paul and Ralph Nader combined don't get a larger percentage of the vote than the differential between Obama and McCain, your argument will be proven false.
