You are telling me things that I do not know, or 'thing.

Let me tell you I came across Ron Paul in a special orders session on the SPAN in 2002. I was going GO! He was ripping Neocons a new one. It was one of the most powerful speeches I have ever heard, given to three people... and the ten listening on the TV.

Now once you start reading on Ron, who IS NOT for nuclear weapons, even if his followers are... I had an almost allergic reaction.

Now why he is not for nukes is actually internally consistent. You cannot declare war and let lose with nukes in a MAD scenario...

But you can tell me all you want. You are attacking somebody for reporting from THE FIELD on an actual political story, because I suspect you'd rather we not cover it. That is my conclusion... I guess I should stop covering Occupy as well, how them apples?

Oh and Patrice, we cover BOTH for a reason that MIGHT JUST SHOCK you, they are news. We are neutral in this.

But it is up to you NOT to read them... head in sand, always healthy. And yes, I interviewed a few people, did not get into arguments... just asked questions and recorded answers... that is the way it is done. I am not there to get into arguments.
