Who does this sound like:


She talked about “the right to life” and the “right to liberty” and the “right to keep the fruit of your own labor.”

And how many videos do we have of him saying that exact thing?

and I don't know how it works but on the google link I clicked there were words saying 'Ron Paul supporters will admit they don't know if he can win...' but they aren't in this story. Hm. Anyway, I know Ron Paul can win.

And now I am really pissed at someone who has been cribbing from him and is using his lines verbatim, apparently, in her stump speeches.

What a clown. Like a War On Terror, PATRIOT Act, War On Drugs, Telecom immunity, Guantanamo Bay, Police State supporter banning gay marriage through a Constitutional amendment would know what the right to liberty is.

I propose an addition to the definition of troll; to include Michele Bachmann.

I was following the election closely enough to know he stole economic positions from Ron -- he had NONE of his own on his web page then Ron's would be there whole cloth, essentially. (McCain was funnier because he'd steal only PIECES of Ron's stuff, so it wouldn't have worked.)

But Ron didn't mentor them and teach them policy and have speaking engagements with them in their districts to introduce his supporters to them.... only to have them steal his lines without giving any credit where they came from.

I'd heard she was considered to be a piece of work by those she ran against, and kind of took it with a grain of salt, but now I'm believing it. I mean, you can say this is done in politics, but tea parties are supposed to be about good sense and decency and would you do what she is doing? I know I wouldn't be comfortable doing it.

That kind of thing comes up in 'office politics' all the time, and some would, and some would not.
