"Sanctions are an act of war."- Ron Paul

People just blindly accept that sanctions are great, because "it's better than going to war".

But the problem is, sanctions don't work, and like Ron Paul said, they are an act of war!

Did you know that we had sanctions in Iraq for 9 years from 1992-2001 where over 600,000 Iraqi's died directly because of these sanctions?
And after all that, we went to war with them anyway, and have killed hundreds of thousands more!

Sure, Saddam was a bad guy and guilty as charged of the crimes of killing over 100 of his own citizens.

But how are our sanctions going to help a situation like this?

It's the same thing in Iran. We are entangled in Iran deeply now, and have struck the first blow with these recent sanctions. How long can this last before we are in a full fledged war with Iran, while we continue to build Iraq and fight the taliban in Afganistan?

Political Bumper Stickers/November 5th Donation

I have hardly noticed any bumper stickers yet at all this season, however, I've been keeping tabs on what I have seen. Here are my totals so far (not including going to Ron Paul meetups!):

Barack Obama- 7
Ron Paul- 6
John McCain- 1
Hillary Clinton- 1

"Unscientific" poll but this gives an idea on who the legitimate most popular candidates are.

By the way, on this November 5th, there is an effort to get 100,000 people to donate $100 to Ron Paul and be a part of the largest donation day in ANY campaign ever! To sign up, go to http://thisnovember5th.com/

I plan on throwing him $175!

Calling all Paulites...Remember the Fifth of November

This is a great idea. I'm going to save my money and donate the $100 on 11/5. Go Ron Paul!

Ron Paul On The Abrams Report 10-10-07

Ron Paul blasted Bush and I love it. Bush is a neocon and would NEVER give an endorsement to Ron Paul! Beyond that, Bush has practically endorsed Hillary Clinton already.
Whatever Republican takes George Bush's endorsement is completely doomed. Nice interview and I'm glad to get the neocon/conservative difference cleared up.
