That McCain speech at that young crown is disgusting..

How come those young people arent informed and throwing eggs at him??

[jdmetz]

Hopefully just Paul, Huckabee, Obama, and Clinton show up. :)

[CareerTech1]

Its interesting the Mcnamedropper and Romney haven't confirmed.

Each candidate gets a 15-20 minute floor time to themselves!

[Cinderella]

did Dr. Paul confirm?? will this air on tv??

[BreakYourChains]

did Dr. Paul confirm?? will this air on tv??

Yes, he confirmed. 6pm est live on 2 live streams on internet, and live on MTV. Yahhh!

[Cinderella]

yesssssssssssssssssssss

i called all day when i heard that mtv didnt invite him

[LEK]

LOVING all the support for Dr. Paul in the comments!!!
Has anyone posted questions?

[Cinderella]

where do i do that??

[Goldwater Conservative]

Why hasn't McCain confirmed? Just today the media was raving about how McCain was getting young voters so excited, and how he was the Obama of the GOP in terms of that, and how his "moderate" policies really spoke to the "centrist" youth of America. Maybe "war forever" and "house subprime... I mean, Jack Kemp" aren't exactly rallying cries for young people after all? Maybe milking the "McCain illusion" that he's independent-minded and the same man he was in 2000 are the only reasons he's done so well among the young?

[CareerTech1]

yes - Ron Paul is in - all of you that with me called Myspace, MTV, Associated Press, etc - good work - we did it - they added him to the lineup.

Giving Ron Paul 15-20 minutes of floor time to himself is the most exciting thing i've heard. Each of them will give their speech. Mcnamedropper may shy away from this cuz he will start repeating himself and doesnt do well without a teleprompter. not sure why romney wouldnt do this - i posted it on the votemittromney.us forum

[CareerTech1]

i am so excited about this

[Goldwater Conservative]

lmao at one of the comments:

"It makes me very angry when a candidate claims to be a member of a party but does not share any of it's values! GO ROMNEY!!!"

Is that meant to be ironic? Or is he telling Romney to get out of the party?

[Crickett]

Since you post on romney's forum, would u PLEASE ask them if he really is a knight ? Someone said he was knighted by the queen, which makes him in allegiance to great Britain. As such he could not be a presidential candidate. What is up with that? I can not find out for sure..

[CareerTech1]

uhhh - a knight? lol

[Knightskye]

Well, it looks like we won't be hearing "Who let the dogs out?" later. :D

Look at the background of Myspace's homepage! :D

[fireworks_god]

Damn it dude, I really really REALLY hope that Dr. Paul has written the speech of his life for this thing! Will the rest of the media be covering this? This should be huge.

[tamor]

bump for information

[phixion]

Heard the comment from 'Jessica'?

"IF WE PULL THE TROOPS OUT, THEN WE LOST THE WAR AND AL QUEDA WILL WIN AND BECOME STRONGER... PLEASE TELL ME NO BODY WANTS THAT..."

Sigh.. maybe eugenics isn't such a bad idea.

Here's another corker:

"how can you really say any candidate is better than JOHN MCCAIN?! the man is amazing-and he is nice to everyone.
Romney&Clinton=terrible
Paul&Obama=even worse"

I can't read these comments any longer. It's people like them who are responsible for malls and schools getting shot up.

i think we crashed myspace, i uploaded two videos but can't get on...

now after u upload them and they are titled 'viral town hall video' or whatever do you have to do anything to get people to be able to vote on them? I uploaded two, one was a question for Huckabee regarding his clemency policy, very tasty...
