Karl Rove, the &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Bush Crime Family's&lt;/span&gt; top political hit man, is trying to push the story that Obama is out of touch with the American People... by using the &lt;a target="_blank"  href="http://www.bizbash.com/florida/content/editorial/e11714.php"&gt;exquisite menu at his last fundraiser as evidence&lt;/a&gt;. WOW! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also Obama is being attacked for the &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://blogs.usatoday.com/onpolitics/2008/07/whats-new-1.html"&gt;discount he got on the loan&lt;/a&gt; for his $1 Million dollar home in Chicago. Are the republicans serious? Watch McCain's homes in this video and decide who's really out of touch with the American people. McCain is living lovely with beach-front homes and condos. I don't fault him for living the dream life, it's just that Obama who currently is not AS RICH is being attacked for it by the hypocritical Republicans (but I repeat myself). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BTW, Obama is a jackass for continuing the disastrous Bush policy of &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.csmonitor.com/2008/0702/p25s10-uspo.html"&gt;mixing Church and State&lt;/a&gt; with the Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives. Obama is also getting worse as this election year unfolds. I'm glad I'm not voting for either one.</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.chicotown.com/2008/07/mccain-cribs-google-earth-tour.html' title='McCain Cribs: Google Earth Tour'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11178326&amp;postID=4409121256465059881&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.chicotown.com/chicotown.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/4409121256465059881'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/4409121256465059881'/><author><name>chico-towner</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06215213139673937178</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11178326.post-4392030007509432655</id><published>2008-06-27T00:05:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-27T00:29:12.142-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='civil disobedience'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Constitution'/><title type='text'>Democrat Junk Mail</title><content type='html'>&lt;img align="right" src="http://www.chicotown.com/pics/democrat-junkmail.jpg"/&gt; Its come to this. The Democrat Party keeps sending me junk mail trying to convince me to donate to their "cause". The first two instances I kindly sent a reply with the words "REMOVE ME" written on the donation slip. Well, those fuckers didn't get the message so now I'm sending them back my junk mail... the Winn Dixie specials, the Little Ceasar's Pizza coupons, the Jiffy Lube discount flyer... all of it. At least I tried to fill as much as I could until It was still barely able to seal the envelope with tape. I wonder how much postage this is this going to cost those fucks? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's my beef? The most impeachable rat bastard in U.S. history is still sitting pretty in the white house as this gang of Democrat jack asses treat Bush like he's the teflon don. Cowards! They all swore oaths to protect the constitution, yet they are just protecting &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/blog/2008/06/18/BL2008061801546.html" target="_blank"&gt;war criminals and murderers&lt;/a&gt;.

God knows if Obama will do anything about it.</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.chicotown.com/2008/06/this-weeks-shocking-news.html' title='This week&apos;s shocking news!'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11178326&amp;postID=2632770066196969169&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.chicotown.com/chicotown.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/2632770066196969169'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/2632770066196969169'/><author><name>chico-towner</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06215213139673937178</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11178326.post-1355413987523175298</id><published>2008-06-06T13:37:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-06T13:38:51.793-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Civil Liberties'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Police Abuse'/><title type='text'>Don't Talk to The Police</title><content type='html'>&lt;embed id="VideoPlayback" style="width:400px;height:326px" allowFullScreen="true" flashvars="fs=true" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=-4097602514885833865&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt; &lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After &lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4097602514885833865&amp;hl=en"&gt;watching this&lt;/a&gt; there can be no doubt!</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.chicotown.com/2008/06/dont-talk-to-police.html' title='Don&apos;t Talk to The Police'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11178326&amp;postID=1355413987523175298&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.chicotown.com/chicotown.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/1355413987523175298'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/1355413987523175298'/><author><name>chico-towner</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06215213139673937178</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11178326.post-4286963170806320948</id><published>2008-05-27T00:27:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-27T01:30:44.264-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='George W.

HBO obviously has a liberal bent in their portrayal but, being born and raised in Miami-Dade County, I don't need an HBO film to show me that Republicans are NASTY fucks! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watching this movie pissed me off ROYALLY knowing full well what has transpired since the 2000 election fiasco. The Patriot Act, Military Commissions Act, Guantanamo Bay, 9/11 on Bush's watch, The War in Iraq, Illegal wiretapping, War crimes in Fallujah, the creation of the the Department of Homeland Security, the no-fly lists, shitting on the constitution, shitting on civil liberties, etc. etc. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do keep in mind, how absurd this circus in Florida was, with counting hanging chads and dimpled ballots for the sake of electing the president.

In other words, never trust the Feds, we the people, we the States reserve the power to nullify Federal power that is out of hand and unjust. &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Why are we crying over the Supreme Court judges that the Bush Crime Family appointed?&lt;/span&gt; If you listen to Thomas Jefferson then we the people have the final word on the laws of the land... not a federal court packed full of old fogies in black robes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We need to fight for the &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution"&gt;10th amendment&lt;/a&gt;, follow it and you'll see that any future contested presidential elections will just seem ridiculous.

Watch for the scene in the beginning where Tony and War Machine get drunk on the Starks jet... you'll see Ghost. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the film Robert Downey Jr. plays the kind of rat bastard character that &lt;a href="http://www.chicotown.com/2005/12/gnn-50-cent-war-profiteer.html"&gt;I rag on in this blog&lt;/a&gt;. The multi-zillionaire, military-industrial-complex, war-profiteering, jackass donkey ball sucking jerk that feeds off the &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Bush Crime Family&lt;/span&gt; and the endless wars waged around the globe. But I'd be a liar if I didn't say Robert played the part of Tony Starks so well I kinda forgave him for it all.

I'll say Batman Begins is still a notch higher but both films are beasts for their own reasons. Its hard to compare them but &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;its still a fucking great movie&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yeah, look out for the Hugh Hefner and Mace Windu cameos.</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.chicotown.com/2008/05/iron-man-ghostface-killah.html' title='Iron Man &amp; Ghostface Killah'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11178326&amp;postID=4836560750205439345&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.chicotown.com/chicotown.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/4836560750205439345'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/4836560750205439345'/><author><name>chico-towner</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06215213139673937178</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11178326.post-4021798225334263488</id><published>2008-05-02T10:23:00.008-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-02T11:11:50.967-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='War'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dr. Martin Luther King'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Millitary Industrial Complex'/><title type='text'>USA - Greatest perpetrator of Violence in the World</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#warTable {&lt;br /&gt;padding: 0;&lt;br /&gt;margin: 0;&lt;br /&gt;}&lt;br /&gt;#warTable table {&lt;br /&gt; position: relative;&lt;br /&gt; display: table;&lt;br /&gt;}&lt;br /&gt;#warTable table td {&lt;br /&gt; border: 1px solid #000;&lt;br /&gt;}&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/style&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its kind of shocking when you see our country's laundry list of acts of homicide spelled out like this.

Regardless of how one feels about his point in the essay on why the 9/11 attacks occurred, one must be horrified at the actions of our government that he marshaled into evidence in his article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He pointed out that the US has used "Weapons of Mass Destruction" around the world on innocent civilian populations. These are American bombs, both nuclear and conventional, used indiscriminately for no military objective. The targets are civilian centers and the victims are simply called "collateral damage."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" border="1" cellpadding="7" cellspacing="0" width="80%"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="middle" width="33%"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

These are views that the late great Dr. King shared. The same Dr. King who's birthday is a national holiday once declared "America is the greatest perpetrator of violence in the world today".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is only a reflection of us, the American People.

"No one in the Soviet Union in 1960 or 1970 or even 1980 found it imaginable that someday it would collapse," says Naylor. So, too, he says, is our certainty today in the stability of the United States of America.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Ron Paul does not win the 2008 election will the US empire meet the same fate as the Soviet empire? If Vermont did peacefully succeed from the union would they be met with the same violence that the Confederate states suffered?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want real change in 2008 its time to learn a bit of history, unless we're doomed to repeat it with a McCain or Clinton presidency.</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.chicotown.com/2008/02/coming-collapse-of-united-states.html' title='The coming collapse of the United States'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11178326&amp;postID=1244668790046003787&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.chicotown.com/chicotown.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/1244668790046003787'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/1244668790046003787'/><author><name>chico-towner</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06215213139673937178</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11178326.post-3494980056930505185</id><published>2008-02-06T05:00:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-02-06T07:49:29.365-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2008 Elections'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ron Paul'/><title type='text'>Ron Paul Revolution Report Card</title><content type='html'>As of Super Tuesday here are &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/candidates/#302"&gt;Ron Paul's national results&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="padding: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; top: 0pt; width: 400px; height: 328px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;State&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Votes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Percent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Delegates&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Place&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Montana:&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;400&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;25%&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;0&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;2nd&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Nevada:&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;6,087&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;14%&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;4&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;2nd&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;North Dakota:&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;2,082&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;21%&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;5&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;3rd&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Maine:&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;851&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;19%&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;0&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;3rd&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Alaska:&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;1,955&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;17%&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;5&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;3rd&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Iowa:&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;11,817&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;10%&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;2&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;5th&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the other states, so far, Ron Paul garnered about less than 10% of the vote while placing 4th or lower. In these top races, with Paul snatching up close to 20% of the vote in a 4-way race you can see that he's got a powerful base of support that made a difference in the primaries. Had the races not all been "winner take all" you'd see Ron Paul banking more delegates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far these results are more than I expected from the Republicans but I'm not surprised either. Remember, this is the party that nominated and supported the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bush Crime Family&lt;/span&gt;: twice! Ron Paul even got booed at some Republican event for mentioning that Jesus was known as the &lt;a href="http://www.allaboutjesus.org/who/peace.html"&gt;Prince of Peace&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;He got booed for that!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fight for liberty and peace was a tough one from the start. The D.C. sewer and the Military Industrial Gravy Train will not go down without a fight either. We're succeeding at waking up our fellow citizens this year. We now have a stronger foundation than ever before and have many successes that we will continue to build on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I pray that Ron Paul will get some speaking time at the GOP convention in St. Paul and continue to stir up more support for our cause.</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.chicotown.com/2008/02/ron-paul-revolution-report-card.html' title='Ron Paul Revolution Report Card'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11178326&amp;postID=3494980056930505185&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.chicotown.com/chicotown.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/3494980056930505185'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/3494980056930505185'/><author><name>chico-towner</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06215213139673937178</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11178326.post-7455243298238445704</id><published>2008-02-05T14:15:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-02-05T15:08:09.124-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2008 Elections'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Miami'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ron Paul'/><title type='text'>Super Tuesday Ron Paul BlackOut!</title><content type='html'>&lt;img src="http://www.chicotown.com/pics/supertuesday-blackout1.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.chicotown.com/pics/supertuesday-blackout2.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ron Paul, the candidate who broke John Kerry's all-time single day fund raising record, beat Guliani at every turn in the primaries, out fund raised his opponents in the 3rd quarter, damn near won or finished strong in the Louisiana, Nevada, and Maine contests... and yet still if you ask the two major South Florida News Papers... he's not even running.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two newspapers, two publishers, two different markets, &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;the same media bias. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The photos of today's front pages tell it all.

Patriot Act on steroids), and totalitarian rule in Germany. Its shocking that this sort of thing, still fresh in the memories of many, may actually lead up to &lt;a href="http://www.wired.com/politics/security/magazine/16-02/ff_stasi?currentPage=all"&gt;repeating itself&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;This being Germany, there's even a special word for it: Vergangenheitsbewältigung, or "coming to terms with the past." It's not self-evident — you could imagine a country deciding, communally, to recover from a totalitarian past by simply gathering all the documents and destroying them. In fact, in 1990 the German press and citizen committees were wracked by debate over whether to do just that. Many people, however, suspected that former Stasi agents and ex-informants were behind the push to forgive and forget.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By preserving and reconstructing the Stasi archives, BStU &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;staffers say they hope to keep history from repeating itself&lt;/span&gt;. In November, the first children born after the fall of the wall turned 18. Evidence suggests many of them have serious gaps in their knowledge of the past. In a survey of Berlin high school students, only half agreed that the GDR was a dictatorship. &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Two-thirds didn't know who built the Berlin Wall.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here in the US, its been over 200 years since we overthrew our tyrannical government but never less the Hamiltonians, Lincoln-lovers, Big government Bush Crime Family members and the like have slowly crept tyranny back into our lives. How naive we have become, especially Democrats, to trust that politicians (*cough*Hilary*cough*) will actually use their political power solely for good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember the old quote: &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lesson from Germany is simple, learn your history and teach it well less you plan on reliving the nightmares of the past.</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.chicotown.com/2008/01/learn-your-history-avoid-another-bush.html' title='Learn your history: Avoid another Bush'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11178326&amp;postID=7867900178912781161&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.chicotown.com/chicotown.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/7867900178912781161'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/7867900178912781161'/><author><name>chico-towner</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06215213139673937178</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11178326.post-275725145082451821</id><published>2008-01-27T00:10:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-01-27T00:40:39.344-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2008 Elections'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ron Paul'/><title type='text'>Scenes from the Revolution in Florida</title><content type='html'>Sorry folks, this is not Rudy Country... it's the front lines of the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ron Paul Revolution&lt;/span&gt;.

We're talking about John Kerry with the friggin' Democratic Party Machine + Major Dissatisfaction with the Bush Crime Family + Media News Outlets Spreading the word far and wide + No other "liberal" candidates left carry the "progressive" torch. Even with all of that in John Kerry's favor we pulled off $5.7 million in a single day while Ron Paul pulled that off with VOLUNTEERS!!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Are you all fucking kidding me? &lt;/span&gt;And not a fucking peep over at Daily Kos!

The Daily Kos gang is ignoring Ron Paul just like the Republicans did and I had to leave the following comment:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Daily Kos Ignoring Ron Paul will be its own downfall&lt;/span&gt;. I used to visit DK daily in the run up to the 2004 elections. I even blogged often, commented often, participated in Democracy for America and Democratic Party meetings, the whole nine yards. The typical liberal life-long democrat activist. But the bullshit the Dems have pulled this year after we fought tooth and nail to win back congress in '06 has left many of us disgruntled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ron Paul's revolution is an authentic people-powered movement, like the kind Kos described in his "Crashing the Gate" book (that I purchased early and read and still want my free drink from Kos when I meet him someday). Ignoring the Paul revolution is going to bite Daily Kos in the ass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul is peeling away so many talented and passionate democrats and activists that Obama and Hilary are already feeling the effects. Paul had twice as much online activity than Obama and Paul has more meetup groups than the Dem front runners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Ignore the revolution at your own peril&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amen!</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.chicotown.com/2007/12/daily-kos-ignoring-ron-paul-will-be-its.html' title='Daily Kos Ignoring Ron Paul will be its Downfall!'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11178326&amp;postID=8984439449989464754&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.chicotown.com/chicotown.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/8984439449989464754'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/8984439449989464754'/><author><name>chico-towner</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06215213139673937178</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry></feed>
