Comments on: Ron Paul for President in 2008? Is He Green? Doesn’t Look Like it. http://todbrilliant.com/republican-ron-paul-for-president-in-2008-is-he-green/ Tue, 02 Dec 2008 21:44:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: cheesemind http://todbrilliant.com/republican-ron-paul-for-president-in-2008-is-he-green/#comment-9186 cheesemind Sun, 25 Nov 2007 21:11:06 +0000 http://todbrilliant.com/republican-ron-paul-for-president-in-2008/#comment-9186 <p>Voting for president based soley on environmental issues is idiotic. No wonder the elites call us cattle. How about you vote in the best man for the job, rather than whoever will pretend to support your issue. Face it, no matter what candidate pretends to be for your issue, once they become president they do what they're told. Ron Paul is the only contender that would actually do what is right, and not what his corporate sponsors want him to do. Check his history and voting record.</p> <p>Please don't waste your vote on a pretender.</p> Voting for president based soley on environmental issues is idiotic. No wonder the elites call us cattle.

If we surrender to the Islamo-Fascists, they will be on our border lobbing scud missles at Brownsville, El Paso, Tucson, and San Diego faster than you can say “Allah AhuAhkbar.”

Giuliani understands the threat from Islamo-Fascism and will fight a real War on Terror, not some politically correct, soft-bellied War like Bush is fighting.

Plus, Rudy is a Tax Cutter, a Privatizer, and Tolerant on social matters.

Libertarians nationwide are rallying behind Rudy. Just today we learn that a bunch of Top libertarian and conservative California Congressman and Legislators are endorsing Giuliani.

There were more important things to discuss like LESS GOV’T…

In any case we LOVED his and we are a diverse group. He is a lovable man.

And that guy who posted all that stuff above in the long diatribe, um, well I will reserve my reaction on that…seems a little nutty to me.
