Oh how this parallels the Russians. Actually we have come to mirror all the oppressive governments of the world.
>in "America: The Global Pioneer Of Torture", Andrew Sullivan exposes the story the media doesn't tell you. The U.S. is more supportive of torture than any communist country. http://www.typepad.com/t/trackback/2224950/3345...

>"India's use of brain scans in courts dismays critics" - For years, scientists have peered into the brain and sought to identify deception. They have shot infrared beams through liars' heads, placed them in giant magnetic resonance imaging machines and used scanners to track their eyeballs. Since the Sept. 11 attacks, the United States has plowed money into brain-based lie detection in the hope of producing more fruitful counterterrorism investigations.

What happened to our great country?

Good for Mayor Rybak! Anyone who votes for the Evil Party, and McManiac and his VP, McClone, is crazy. This bunch of fascists has been in office for 8 years and it's time to get them out. Vote third-party and stop the madness!

Dear sir, We all know as Ron Paul supporters that the hegemony of both of the “status quo ” parties is to allow, not free speech and our right to assemble to redress issues, put to suppress those constitutional liberties, of a ” controlled ” police state. This was quite evident during the Republican National Convention, when they refused to allow Congressman Ron Paul to speak and shunned him entirely. They know , as well as the ” power-shakers ” in Washington that Congressman Ron Paul is the greatest threat to their plans of a ” New World Order “. We the people across this nation will not go away, and we shall take our country back, and restore the blessings of liberty, not just for ourselves, but for all people all over the world who want peace and justice for all. I commend all of you at your newspaper for printing this story and God bless all of you. Long live the Revolution!!!

How about a donation to Mayor Rybak's next campaign in Ron Paul's name?

We have a corrupt mayor in our town too.

There is usually some conflict of interest that needs to be investigated.

Barr may be the LP nominee, but he's no libertarian, and he did NOT get nominated by a majority of our delegates–only 49.7%, on the 6th ballot. He does NOT represent the LP membership, and as an LP member who would never vote for him, on behalf of the LP, I apologize for that twerp.

Why am I not surprised? Two of my friends were delegates and said that they were treated horribly by The Party Faithful, and I mean goons following them and surveiling people, grilling them to get information on what “disruption” they planned (what a laugh, if you could see these two gals…), refusing to give information, not allowing them to cast their votes and the list goes on. That they would try to shut down our counter-convention is no surprise at all. The surprise is that they didn't succeed and that the mayor stood up to these goons (kudos!).

I guess it was a successful Coronation with all the glitz, glitter and lipstick, despite so many Paul supporters in town.
