So Obama loses New York and Massachusetts but wins Michigan? Okay...

Well Michigan would certainly be winnable for Paul, but he's up against union voters who have a strong presence in Michigan and will both be committed to Obama. Detroit blacks will already be committed 99% to Obama, but Paul's not likely to win over UAW workers at GM or Chrysler who don't want their cushy union-provided gravy train to come to an end.

Ron Paul spoke quite favorably of unions in one of the 2008 Republican Primary debates.

you know McVeigh served this country well in the Persian Gulf War and deserves our respect.

More like Tim McVeigh was a product of the brainwashing this country can inflict and lost his mind during his "service" in the Gulf War, and deserves our pity, along with the victims of the OKC bombing...

As for Paul becoming the GOP nominee, I'd have no problems voting Republican in 2012 if that were the case.

You know as controversial as Useful Idiot's comment may seem to many people I think there is a grain of truth to it.  Am I saying that we should blame the army or the government for the OKC bombing?  No, just that McVeigh himself admitted that the Army taught him to switch off his emotions.  It may take a man to shoot up a school, but it takes a killing machine to commit mass murder.
Maybe we really should pity such a man........

Because Unions are a product of the free market.  Workers have the right to organize.  It's a different story however, when the government gets involved with these Unions.

Dont' get me wrong. I'm not condoning violence or terrorism by anyone. I don't agree with the death penalty but McVeigh was punished correctly according to the law. I do however sympathize with the people of Waco who were killed by our government for expressing their religious beliefs. That was their freedom of religion. Hasn't anyone realized that the people who were going to testify against the FBI over the Oklahoma City bombing, 2 were killed in plane crashes and 2 in car accidents. Just sounds fishy to me. Forget the fact that Clinton's campaign members were also killed during the Waco incident. I wish Bush would've investigated Oklahoma City intelligence reports as well as the conduct of Waco. Many lives could've been saved and McVeigh would've been stopped. Thank you for taking me out of context though. I look forward to the day when the liberal media begins to do the same thing to me. McVeigh also met with Mohammad Atta in the Phillipines in 1993 after the Waco destruction. After his arrest in 1995 they found a pocket full of phone numbers from Iraq. Look this up and you will find me correct.
