   Not to change the subject but I just saw McWar on MSNBC talking about child porn on the internet.

   No surprise. Pro-war, neocon media has long been promoting Root.

   The question is, will the LP delegates allow the pro-war media to pick our candidate—or will we choose our own?

   Gravel, Ruwart, Kubby, and Phillies aren’t being promoted by the pro-war media. Which I find telling.

   Sipos, why would the NeoCon media be excited about Root. In case you’re not aware, Root is hardcore Pro-Choice on abortion.

   He’s also Pro-Gambling.

   NeoCons are unanimously Pro-Life/Religious Right.

   And incidentally, I seem to remember Root appearing on CNN a time or two. They’re the most anti-War/Bush bashing network on cable.

   Kind of blows your theory out of the water.

   Dondero, I’ve answered some of these points before. But why bother? You never listen, hence, you keep raising the same objections.

   Neocons are NOT anti-choice on abortion. They’re mostly pro-choice.

   The term “neoconservative” was coined by Irving Kristol in his 1986 book, Reflections of a Neoconservative, to refer to that branch of conservatism which was primarily concerned about foreign policy (as opposed to economic conservatives, and social conservatives).

   It is the religious “social conservatives” who are anti-choice. NOT neoconservatives.

   I don’t know whether you’re shamelessly lying, or just astonishingly stupid (it’s not ignorance, since you were told this by me before).

   And CNN is pro-war, as is much of the “liberal mainstream media.” They may be anti-Bush, but they’re hardly challenging the notion of American Empire.

   Oh wait, that’s another book on neocon thinking. Here’s Kristol’s book.

   How on Earth can a serious argument be made that CNN and MSNBC are pro war? I agree that all of the channels are biased, but not in the same way! A mistake that third party folks make is their attempt to try to group the major parties toghether.

    Wayne Root said that he opposes late term & partial birth abortion (unless a mothers life is in danger) and he supports parental notification of abortion for underage girls.

    Funny…

    KOA AM 850 in Denver hits 38 states and Canada and Mexico. I can even get them on my AM dial here in Los Angeles.
    KFI AM 640 in Los Angeles gets the most listeners in America in any given day per the Arbitron ratings.

    WABC? Third or fourth string, behind those and a few of Chicago stations (WGN AM 720 and WMAQ AM 670, and probably even WLS AM 890 and WBBM AM 780)...

    Seems to me once again, Root has no idea what he is talking about…

    Hey Root, you want to cut spending, but you also critisize Paul for being “weak on war on terror”. Newsflash: The amount of spending for military adventures and nation building in Iraq is a MAJOR cost. Paul is sitting on the banking and finance committee and knows much better about economic theory and practise than you.
    SO, I am afraid you are WRONG on this and your arrogant “I will roll over all of you” attitude (aka Elliot Spitzer) will cost you the LP nomination at the end, of which you are so sure about.

    Also: when Barr spoke for an hour in the NY, it was not to promote his own candicacy, but to promote the LP as a whole, thus he got 0 min actually and you 15.

    Wow, so now all the Arab countries are actually enemies of the US, Root. Wonderful way to achieve diplomacy and breaking out of political isolationism…

    Root could use the “SOB” line if either of his parents had been bureaucrats, too. Or beach volleyball players. Or banana growers.
