Who’s Pedro?

As Uncle Dave just pointed out, we don’t need whole books reprinted on the pages here so I’ll try to be very brief.

He is a know nothing dweeb operating under several aliases, most of which are solely used to troll looking for hits. The “pedro” handle never posts anything relevant to the topic. He often posts under the editor pseudonym of “Cherman”. His preferred (wide) stance is to use ad hominems> to disparage anyone.

As several commentators loath him, he is subject to constant rebuttal of the same measure he passes on others.

I hope you realize that the brevity of this comment left out quite a bit of information.

There is still much work to do but we've jumped a significant hurdle. Never worry about voting for a third party, you are wasting your vote as much voting for the incumbent (republicrat) then you would a third party. Let your voting voice be heard. Real change isn't just a banner that states it, and it's clear that Obama is a fraud. Don't make the same mistake in 2012. Who's Pedro? Congrats to Ron Paul and the Campaign for Liberty movement.

It would appear you might be the one with the problems. People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

Much of what he says seems common sense, not just another talking points screed to whip up "the base." Could that be it? Is he actually more highly regarded by the Dems than his own party? I disagree with a lot of his politics (surprise, surprise), but I don't feel personally insulted or frightened by the things he says, unlike with so many on the Right. "Audit the Federal Reserve" he says, and I wonder "where's the harm in that?" while the GOP and top financial people all but faint dead away -- makes one wonder what are they hiding? And thanks # 16 FDC, we need to be reminded once in a while. I’ve never understood why Ron Paul is not more highly respected by the GOP.

“Audit the Federal Reserve” he says, and I wonder “where’s the harm in that?” while the GOP and top financial people all but faint dead away — makes one wonder what are they hiding?

And thanks # 16 FDC, we need to be reminded once in a while.

I think that, by all measures, big finance is as unstable as when Lehman fell OR WORSE. Most of them are just too dumb to know it, or too smart to admit it. Wall St. people are easily characterized by an anecdote from, I think, Liars Poker by Micheal Lewis. Goes like this: A famous investment bank. There is a training session of the incoming recruiting class of the best and brightest. The class leader asks "Would you advise a client that buying equities right now is a good idea?" Recruit A replies with an amazingly erudite analysis of the the current dangers facing stocks, as well as several sectors which will benefit or at least hold during the coming storm. The leader looks disgusted and shouts, "WRONG! Anyone else?" Recruit B confidently states, "It is always a good time to buy equities, if you lock in your positions now your growth potential is unlimited." Leader: "Exactly right, any questions?"

Tearing down the opposition is right. Greyson is a loud demagogue, plain and simple.

#22, I would have voted for Ron Paul but feared my vote would go wasted.

I hate it when I hear that. How can a vote be wasted if it is cast in good conscious?
