FAIL. I asked that of this community because it appears that if you are RP, you get nailed for a small instance of hypocrisy, but in the grand scheme of things it is a non-issue.
I never implied that mike implied this. Who are you; his mother?
Trying to sound smart FAIL:
If you equate pointing out an instance of hypocrisy on the part of a politician with decapitation, then that's your problem, not Mike's
I also LOVE the way you didnt answer the question either:
So the whole of his life is ended by one bad decision?
"You failed to address the point that Paul abandoned his principles" I know I know he is out there now kicking cats and babies.
Failed to address?
"You failed to address the point that Paul abandoned his principles - Read below
"A small mistake most likely brought upon by an over-aggressive lawyer/campaign manager." My opinion, but addressed.
A small mistake no where near constitutes accusing him of altogether abandoning his principles, and that's exactly what I got out of your post.
"you pointed out how much worse other politicians are." - So we agree?
"don't know AC's thought process, but that's exactly what I got out of your post." Thanks for the insight Josh.
Help a brother out here:
"I dont agree with what he is doing here, but I will put his voting record against anyone you may have." - Dont see that here.
Nor here:
"Instead, Ron Paul folded and suddenly relied on big federal government regulations and abuse of the law to try to take away individuals' free speech rights."
So the whole of his life is ended by one bad decision?"
This:
Dont make me point out Bush I & II, and Barry Sorento's flaws.
Or:
Its not like he started wars that resulted in hundreds of thousands dead, trillions of dollars spent, all on false, or selective "intelligence" for his Neocon agenda.
After reflecting on this, HELL YEAH ill defend the He's not as awful as everyone else stance because... well... he is just sooooo much not as awful to the point of being better.
AND AGAIN
Do we through out the whole of a mans life for one mistake?
If so, then there are/were never great men, just men that did great thing(s). (or women, whew dodged that bullet)
Thanks for the insight, its hard to see sometimes how the other side will perceive your comments.
"He's not as awful as everyone else" is not a valid defense of Ron Paul. - Where on earth, or outter space, did you come to the conclusion that is what I said. Please explain the thought process there.
RP in short:
He has held the same beliefs since the 80's and his voting record reflects that. He is a man of principal. Thats why his fans are so fanatical.
No where in my comment did I project that "He's not as awful as everyone else" Cause the fact is he is much much better than the rest.
I dont agree with what he is doing here, but I will put his voting record against anyone you may have.
"The sign of a truly principled person is when you're willing to retain those principles in the face of a situation where standing firm hurts you." Well it appears his whole life he has done this.
"Instead, Ron Paul folded and suddenly relied on big federal government regulations and abuse of the law to try to take away individuals' free speech rights."
So the whole of his life is ended by one bad decision?

You can see they still think it was a big fucking joke. Oh we pissed of the "techies" They just dont get it.
Now we have to scrutinize every piece of legislation. They WILL be slipping in this crap bit by bit.
I think this is lousy and shows just how much they dont get it:
“The nerds are more powerful than anyone thought, and the tech industry flexed its muscle like never before.”
As I have stated before, the "nerds" are your citizens, and even my Mom(I am 42) can not live without the internet and her laptop.
"the tech industry flexed its muscle" - (Shaking head) Just dont get it. GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!!

"QR codes are wonderful things, a great idea that is really becoming popular. Done properly, they can be scanned from a good distance away, they provide a positive link to something, and don't rely on a third party (like Google) to interpret meaning. "

They are not shapers of the political agenda either. They are seekers of truth.
Scientific theories should be judged solely on their factual accuracy and analytical precision rather than the political correctness or emotional palatability of their conclusions.

"I think you see Senators paying more attention to issues that are important to the tech community."
No Senator, it is not the "tech community"
Almost everyone nowadays has some sort of tech they have/want to use. Your "tech community" is now everyone. AKA Citizens.

Right here buddy. Cant tell you how many jobs that I have done for cost for the word of mouth value.
Its called building a reputation.
You do little extras that separate you from the rest, and before you know it you have more work that you can handle, have to hire another employee, then get to sell your business to go off and do other things.
