  • The problem with the U.S. is everyone knows what the problem is, everyone knows who is causing the problem, but nobody in power wants to change anything because it's their buddies causing the problem in the first place.

  • It's strange. I couldn't get enough of Mr. Johnson. (I mean his thoughts of course). This man worth his weight in gold. Still, I do have a bit of contention about his rosy assessment regarding privatization. Yes, in an ideal world, theoretically it may had some positive role to fill, yet we cannot turn our eyes to the overwhelming empirical evidence to the contrary in the real world. Namely that it has been, and still is a major tool to fleece countries from their public assets.

  • @Kicker001911 "the plain truth that the establishment does not want Ron"

    Oh, whatever. He's for deregulation out the ass; another whore for corporate interests. On top of that, provide the wealthy with even further tax breaks... the same people who crashed our economy when we have the worst income gaps between the rich and poor in the Western world... even compared to a lot of African nations.

    "It will affect you"

    Oh, yes. His horrible domestic policies will affect me.

  • @donnyforte2 So what your saying is your right... Even if the facts say something different then your statement , and agree with and others and mine. If you cant see the plain truth that the establishment does not want Ron Paul to ruin there little game of corruption and control, then it will be a slap in your face when you wake up and see what it going on because trust me when I say this... It will affect you. Vote for Ron Paul 2011

  • @Kicker001911 Well, first of all, any candidate entering a race is going to receive a lot of coverage... especially a gung-ho candidate like Rick Perry.... who's the governor of his state and another Christian fundie from Texas. The same with Donald Trump. And Palsy likes being portrayed as the underdog, that's their whole shtick.

  • @donnyforte2 read it.

    Donald Trump’s candidacy received three times more coverage than Ron Paul’s candidacy

    "Confirming their suspicions, the Pew report also found that Paul was mentioned just 29 times in the days following the Ames Straw Poll, while Texas Gov. Rick Perry was mentioned 371 times, Bachmann was mentioned 274 times and Mitt Romney was mentioned 183 times. "

    

  • Mr Johnson is incorrect in his assertion that the Americans folllowed the lead of some Russians in working the political system. The political system has been owned by the Money Trust post the Civil War and became known as the Eastern Establishment. They have been behind America's fall under both political parties no matter what anyone has to say about the Democrats or Rupublicans and the power base of their operations is THE FEDERAL RESERVE and without it's removal all else is moot

  • It used to be a 5 dollar donation, now it's 10. Thanks Federal Reserve...

  • @Kicker001911 They ignore a buttload of candidates, gimmie a break.
