Are You Surprised? Dr. Ron Paul (R-TX) 4 Prez 2008!

Howard Dean would make a fine president.

[dickknows]

He doesnt care about anything but his socsilist movement, better known as the Democratic party. The Party first, the indoctrination, the lies, then the take over of the country. redistribution of wealth tramples on peoples Liberties.

[TypicalDream]

It is sad that you really think that.

[dickknows]

No it is sad that it is the fact. And that you have fallen for it.

[ndesai256]

Your frequent lapses in grammar are even sadder dickknows. "The Party first, the indoctrination, the lies, then the take over of the country. redistribution of wealth tramples on peoples Liberties". It is difficult to follow your argument.

[dickknows]

Well what is it that you need explained. I am sorry if my grammar was off. I must have been in a hurry. He's a socialist. Anything else, and his loyalties are to his party, not his country?

[ndesai256]

He was well-known in Vermont as a moderate never spending beyond his means. He turned a 60 billion dollar deficit into a surplus marking the beginning of an era of fiscal restraint. The right continously calls Democrats socialists but that is misleading. Bill Clinton (and his wife) are centrists. The Clinton administration cut welfare spending to compensate budget shortfalls. Can you give me one instance where Bill Clinton obstructed private ownership?

[dickknows]

No, I don't care. I know what Clinton did. He realized conservative ideals are the responsible way to go. It also didn't hurt him that he had the first Republican House and Senate in over 30 years to force him to do what was right! Conservative values are the proper way to run a government. Lower taxes and more freedom for the private sector! Produces more jobs, spending and more taxes paid!

[ndesai256]

I would agree but I still support the Dems. I cant stand the overarching theocratic religious right. They demean our constitution and the First Amendment. The neoconservative foreign policy is terribly misguided (as evidenced by the war in Iraq).

[ndesai256]

I would describe myself as fiscally moderate and socially liberal. You can't argue that there are excesses in the free market and that a completely laissez-faire approach engerders nothing but greed and fosters no sense of personal and corporate responsibility- what the founders of the nation told us was the most important to the vitality of this country.
