Makes me kind of wonder if LaRouche is marching towards another jail term. I can’t imagine how he could possibly have attracted $5 millions’ worth of legit attention without some sort of money laundering going on. I can’t think of the last time I saw a LaRouchite.

I thought LaRouche was a convicted felon? He got busted in the 80’s for credit card fraud, and did some time for it.

Larauche was convicted of conspiracy and mail fraud in 1988 for the solicitation of $34 million in loans since 1983. He was also convicted to conspiring to hide is personal income since 1979, the last year he had paid taxes. He spent five years in prison before being released.

As a convicted felon, he cannot vote and the Democratic party has barred him from attending their convention at least twice. He is running his campaign remotely from Germany where he lives with his wife. Add that to the fact that some of his ideas have their origins from beyond the Oort Cloud and you’ve got to like his chances.

He also only has $94,491 on hand, less than an eighth of what Kucinich has.

Have any of you guys that about reading something written by LaRouche, or listened to one of his webcasts?
You might find that more interesting, than sitting around drooling over old media fed statistics.
have fun!

The guy plays on the mistrust you already have for the government. When I read his articles I see so many fallacies and so many statements in regards to how our govermnet is connected to Neo Nazism. These statements are completly unfounded but somehow he manages to convince, mainly youngsters in their late teens or early 20s, of his matireal. But first he tells you you are dumb or stupid for going along with the current goverment system, as if though he is not participating in it and taking much advantage it financially. Haha, as if his policies and reasoning will work with a Jihadist!

He slanders the government, but yet accepts $800,000 in matching funds for the presidency. Hey Larouche, I thought the American finacial system has is foundations in evil, why the hell are you accepting money you hypocrite! Dean and Kerry were the ONLY ones who did not accept matching funds, that is a fact you can research yourselves. Hitler did a very sililar thing as Mr. Larouche, the college drop out yet self renown world economic forcaster, where Hitler would write about the Jews and talk about what horrible sinister people they were. People thought well since its printed it must be true (a fallacy). Well the Germans bought it, thus you had the holocaust.

interesting facts nothing to do with Larouche:

FACT in a recent poll 50% of people are for the removal of Sadamm especially the Kurds whom he tortured. The people in the Sunni Tri, oppose US control since they were benefiting from Sadamm’s
rule.

FACT: Russia (somewhat), France, China were all oppose us going into Iraq. Wonder why, could it be because Sadamm was selling them oil, going against the US sanctions, and lining his own pockets as the Iraqi people starved to death.

hmmm, how would Larouche have delt with a situation like this. Well, everytime I ask one of his suppoerters, they cant even give me a straight answer. They just say our war will lead to more violence. Although probably true, our action will lead to more violence, however, a Jihad has been proclaimed against the United States (infadels) which has nothing to do with out policies or economics. It has to do with our beliefs, and if you dont know you should research it. How do you reason with a man (probably middle eastern) who wants to see you dead because his god or koran (however they interpret it) says you should be dead due to being an infadel. This battle goes back to times b.c. (read about ancient wars, Gochberg text is a good place to start) Its to late now, all we can do is try to defend our selfs, practice self preservation, and defend our interests if we dont want to be blown off the face of the planet.
