Personally I like the stance of Duncan Hunter on a lot of the issue's, more so than any of the other candidates that are running.MikeLindgren wrote:I'd cordially like to disagree with D2A. I don't know which candidate is holding your support, but what Ron Paul represents is actual change, vs. the same old-money punks we've been getting. Govenment has continued to grow, and no amount of money can fix our broken education system, the exporting of inflation (via Illegal Immigration), and an Economy teetering on the bring of implosion. He's also the only candidate that isn't a wholly owned subsidiary of corporate America, the REAL constituant of the other candidates.
Dr. Paul is the only one with the fiscal sense to fend off financial Armageddon.
The problem with Ron Paul is, since he is the only candidate who isn't an old-money, elitist fuck, he's attractive to everyone who is against the system's current paradigm, thusly ensuring that every looney toon who's fed up conveniently places their particular personal belief structure upon the only candidate sure to bring about any noticable change.
Ron Paul doesn't blame everything bad in the world on America, it's America's failed foreign/economic policies that are causing issues, and for the last 30 years or so, that's been what we've had. If you like your tax money going to Dictatorships like Pakistan, playing world cop in our economic cold war in the Middle East against China and Russia, and generally meddling in foreign affairs at the cost of untold billions of dollars, vote for one of the other shmucks in a rinse-and-repeat cycle of another 30 years of the same old horseshit these establishment fucks have been dishing out.
I personally am fed up with America degrading rapidly into a 2nd world country, while we ship billions upon billions overseas. Last time I checked this nation was far from a utopia, so I agree with Dr. Paul that there are some serious failures here that need to be addressed before we spend countless, and might I add rapidly declining, dollars overseas on failed adventures.
When our country is financially in the shitcan, we need someone who can straighten this fluff economy out. Since it's pretty difficult to export sun-tans and nail-jobs, we might want to consider what's up with this country economically. Last time I looked, EVERYTHING is made in China. What happened to tariffs? Oh, that's where I slipped up, because if the large body of consumer goods, and products weren't made in China, the devaluation of the dollar, and the real rate of inflation would be far more apparant to Jane and Joe. 2% my ass, I saw a gallon of Mayfield milk selling for $6.88. My paychecks sure haven't gone up with such a heft. Oil's broken new records, and we're kissing Saudi Arabia's ass for fueling this happy motoring utopia we all enjoy.
We're living a totally unsustainable lifestyle, based on what's real and what we perceive to be real. The reality is that we have a broken infrastructure, public transit that would make third world nations ashamed, a failing dollar, little to no manufacturing base aside from Cheez Doodles and Cola, and a massive debt hanging over our heads that none of the other candidates are responsible enough to mitigate.
Honestly I don't care if my taxes dollars go to some failed foreign policies. I am however tired of the failed entitlement programs we have here at home.
I agree something needs to be done to the weakening US dollar. I believe that we are being cheated by china in this one way street type trade we have with them.
Oh I picked up a gal of milk today for 3 bucks and some change. I don't know where you buy your milk from but I find K Rogers to be fairly cheap.
Personally I am tired of the of the "old money" too. I am tired of the Ted Kennedy's, Pelosi's, and the RINO's. Has anyone here ever read the book called Term Limits by Vince Flynn? Its about the assassinations of powerful politicians with the promise of more unless the ultimatum is meet. That ultimatum is to put partisan politics aside and restore the power to the people. It's really not that bad of a book. That pretty much sums up what I think needs to be done.
Government's are intended to solve problems but ironically they end up creating more problems than answers
I have a lot of opinions about politics and what is going on in the world today. I have a lot of close friends and family serving over seas in the military and I even have a few that work for Black Water. I hear a great deal about what goes on in the world today from many of these people. I find it astonishing that half of this shit is never reported. I am past the point of even watching cable news anymore I am tired of that bullshit too. I truly understand the saying that ignorance is bliss. I am getting more and more to the point of being indifferent to anything that happens in the world anymore.
Oh on a side note doesn't Dennis Kucinich look like an elf. Every time he walks out for a debate it reminds me of that SNL skit with Dana Carvey (Bush sr) and Jon Lovitz (Michael Dukakis). Dukakis walks out to the podium but Dukakis is to short to see over it. So you see Dukakis being raised up so you can actually see him on camera. That shit is funny to me.
Oh and Obama looks like Webster Emmanuel Lewis if only he had actually grown up.
