GOP still seeking strong candidate

You know, free markets do exceptionally well when the Federal Reserve isn't picking the winners and losers. The problem lies with the fact that the Fed is allowed to print money out of nowhere and give it to banks and the massive corporations they own that then are allowed to buy up the competition and ruin it.

When you say that Paul has no chance of getting elected, you are buying into the crap that Fox News likes to feed to naive people. Plus, this republican field is so silly and completely fragmented, Paul is going to have an easy time if pull 30% of the vote in Iowa and New Hampshire.

GOP still seeking strong candidate

ummm, im pretty sure neither of those two are running. nor do i believe even if they were elected that they would have a full first term before quitting.

although i do share that same worry about Romney. He looks very positioned to buy the republican nomination.

GOP still seeking strong candidate

You are extremely naive if you think he will be able to 100% eliminate those entities. Public education isn't going to disappear simply because Ron Paul wants to eliminate it, kinda like how Obama wasn't able to create single-payer healthcare.

if anything, Paul wants to see that the proper level of government handles these regulations, that is the state governments. He has also proposed COMPROMISE!? on issues like social security, he does see the need for the government to keep it's promise to retirees, but he does not want to force young people to pay into a system that they will never get a damn dime out of in the future.

Do you even know what the Dept. of Energy was created for? It was suppose to reduce the US dependence on foreign oil. LOL WTF WHOOPS.

Ron Paul really transcends the left vs right divide in our nation's politics, and it is stunning that the republican party refuses to acknowledge how powerful Ron Paul would be in a General Election. In the eyes of anyone rational, Ron Paul makes Obama look like George Bush 2.0

GOP still seeking strong candidate

Ron Paul is the best candidate for America right now. We are fighting a racist drug war that literally fills our prisons and jails with non violent offenders. We are spending trillions overseas with foreign aid and pointless invasions of countries like Libya. There is no respect of private property, and we are subjected routinely to unconstitutional searches and gropings. Lastly our current generation of retirees is focused on destroying the futures and freedoms of our youth that do not need central planning to live their lives.

Look, if Ron Paul becomes President our country is not going to get rid of all social programs and business regulations. Congress will always prevent that, but we will make a major step towards common sense governance.

UN would settle for monitored visit with soldier suspected of giving classified information to WikiLeaks

I am fairly certain that no significant US interests were harmed by the release of these documents, unless you want to call the corrupt mid-east dictatorships valuable to the US. Also, Bradley has been charged, not convicted of these crimes. He has a very good chance to argue protections from the whistle-blower laws designed to protect those who expose government corruption. Military or not, he is innocent until guilty, which leads me to believe these incarnation tactics are meant to break him before trial.

on Manning's oath to the US~ he had a chance to give all of these documents to a foreign power that would keep them secret. but instead he made the info public for all- in effect making it all mostly useless for anyone that could really threaten US security. He also revealed this GIANT GAPING HOLE IN OUR WIRE TRANSMISSIONS that are suppose to be "classified"

All in all, I think Bradley Manning is a pretty good guy that will have a monument in D.C. when my generation is running the show.

KU law student organizing animal cruelty prosecution clinic

You know what's the one group of people that never get harassed about their animal cruelty, police officers.

I think that this is a new tactic used by some in our police force to intimidate citizens. It is outright murder, and there never any charges against the officers involved. There needs to be reforms, we need to recognize that dogs under 35 pounds pose absolutely no life threatening abilities against humans, and that dogs are naturally opposed to home invasions. Police must respect the family rights to own a pet as a member of its family, and that pets have a right to life. Police must show good will when families try their best to contain a pet. This is a problem that we need to recognize as a society. It will benefit more people than defunding NPR will.

KU hires Julie Goonewardene from Purdue Research Foundation as associate vice chancellor for innovation and entrepreneurship

As a former resident of West Lafayette, I think this may be the best news for Lawrence today. The Purdue Research Park is an amazing economic force for the Greater Lafayette Indiana area. Jeff Vitter knows what he is doing with this hire. I also agree with Goonewardene assessment that “I think KU’s a little bit of a well-kept secret". Companies from Cook Bio-tech to C-SPAN occupy the Purdue Research Park, and even having one of those in Lawrence would be a great addition for the Kansas economy. The key is keeping KU's research dollars high and making research success happen here!
