Now tell us what all was in those bills OhGreatOne

Yeah, what HE said...

Oh, and Greg, NONE of that ridiculous post answered the question I asked and you left hanging.

What evidence do you have to bolster your statement that Dr. Paul's

actual election would make the Dow lose thousands of points, on the first day we get the news he has been elected.

?

Greg

If you have ever bought anything that you’ve seen a commercial. Then you have just supported the corporations that own and or fund the media. Cable TV has just cut out the middle man some so we buy stock in those locally, ie: Time Warner, Adelphi ect…

What does purchasing a product or owning stock have to do with the running of a corporation?

That has nothing to do with the agenda of corporate media or how it presents the propaganda to us.

All that means is they are using our money to fund the take over of this country.

I'm not getting your drift.
