I'm disgusted. I don't know who to vote for.

Well there's this guy called Dr Ron Paul. He supports a strong NATIONAL defense, but no empire-building and entangling alliances around the world. Barry Goldwater Jr is his close friend and has endorsed him multiple times. You should check him out. =)

lol I found this ONLY because Ron Paul mentioned it! Lo and behold.....

[PatriotReview]

Where and when did he mention it?

Newt is a liar.  Plain and simple.

[Marc Parella]

Mr. Speaker man you can really pick 'em. I can't tell you how glad I am you lost the nomination. Good ol' Rocky had a thing for government and saw himself as royalty.

Goldwater was fought for the greatest minority of them all: the individual. Goldwater will have a chapter in the history books, you and John McCain will be lucky to get an asterisk.

Actually, I have since discovered that although they were "pro-regulation", they were not as much so as the Democrats. They also were more focused on business then the Goldwater followers.

Because they can pay off the regulators and eliminate their competition. CNN Money: " Why is Jamie Dimon on a Federal Reserve board?"

Newt is a great intelligent man. Ron Paul should run as an Indi. Obama is amazing at so many things but not all things. Glad I live in Canada...We have the best man running the show.

No one even comes a close second. No problem deciding who to vote for here.

Why did Wall St. support the Rockefeller Republicans? The Rockefeller were pro-regulation, so why were they heavily supported by big business?

Newt strikes again...
