I would appreciate it if you would add Ronald Reagan as a candidate. I would vote for him.

Is Nader officially running with the Green Party again?
- Login to post comments
BTW, that vote for Nader was me. Not because I am really voting for him, but because I wanted to see the poll results.

Haha, that is like a flash from the past. I know he's run a few different parties a few different times, but I find it really weird, somehow, that he may be running for POTUS again the same month I am going to my HS reunion (he was running when I was graduating).

Dammit. I thought there was and I couldn't find it. Need more coffee.

I don't think he is really being considered, Matt. Where'd you find that? I've been all over a few official Green Party sites and they are pumping up Roseanne Barr and Jill Stein.

LOL I know. I heard she was considering it awhile back on a talk show, but I didn't realize she was being serious. Better than some GP site I stumbled on where the blogger was saying their first choice was Woody Harreslon.

I don't care if I would vote for her or not, I really want that as a poster.

What kind of gun do you have, and has any politician ever threatened to take it away?
- Login to post comments
Why no, no they haven't.
" National Defense Authorization Act threatens my civil liberties"
This act in no way tries to take yer guns.
"countless other bills"
SOURCE? This is ridiculous. Don't be scared, little one. No big bad man is going to take your guns. It's never even been a discussion. It's just a scare tactic that people buy into rather than worrying about actual problems.

Hypothetically, these laws could be used against non-terrorists, and (if you want to be paranoid) could form the basis for a at least a temporary police state at some point in the future, but not even the military has the logistic capability to occupy the whole nation in perpetuity (and keep up international operations.)

"allows them to bar you from owning weapons."
Well no shit. Yes, there are reasons people are barred from owning weapons. This does not equate taking guns away from the average person on the street and hunting rifles and shotguns have never been debated. When a politician calls for gun control, this does not mean taking them away. That's like calling "pro-choice" "Pro-abortion"
"So when terrorism ends completely is when you're released."
Yes, being ridiculous about it makes a good argument.
"On December 31 and after signing the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 into law, President Obama issued a statement on it addressing "certain provisions that regulate the detention, interrogation, and prosecution of terrorism suspects". In the statement Obama maintains that "the legislation does nothing more than confirm authorities that the Federal courts have recognized as lawful under the 2001 AUMF". The statement also maintains that the "Administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American citizens", and that it "will interpret section 1021 in a manner that ensures that any detention it authorizes complies with the Constitution, the laws of war, and all other applicable law". Referring to the applicability of civilian versus military detention, the statement argued that "the only responsible way to combat the threat al-Qa'ida poses is to remain relentlessly practical, guided by the factual and legal complexities of each case and the relative strengths and weaknesses of each system. Otherwise, investigations could be compromised, our authorities to hold dangerous individuals could be jeopardized, and intelligence could be lost."
On 28 February 2012, the Obama Administration announced that it would waive the requirement for military detention in "any case in which officials [believe] that placing a detainee in military custody could impede counterterrorism cooperation with the detainee’s home government or interfere with efforts to secure the person’s cooperation or confession". Application of military custody to any suspect is determined by a national security team including the attorney general, the secretaries of state, defense and homeland security, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the director of national intelligence."
When I say site your source, I mean it. I won't debate ridiculous postulations and inflammatory remarks.
I WILL NOT BE BAITED THIS WAY!

And...the position I presented was that the government was not, and had never (in your life) tried to take your guns away. Not sure why you are steering it in this other direction. I guess because I'm so obviously correct.
