Everybody's busy watching Access Hollywood! As the broken system implodes on the masses, maybe there will be enough people that have the will to work for a better society.

I, on the other hand, think the problem is Obama. The man is not a Democrat.

No. Because less government involvement, mean less corporatism - there is a BIG difference between BIG corporations which are subsidized and backed by the BIG government, given Bailouts etc. w/o the BIG government support those BIG corporations would wither up and go away. There is nothing wrong with private ownership - if you owned a business you would not screw the people, nor would I etc. Only those w the power government behind them can do so - mom & pop business is not the problem here.

If the government is less involved under Ron Paul, don't you think that would give the private sector more power hence more povery ? How do you reckon he could counter this ?

[enemyartistkristofeR]

Awesome. See he speaks the Truth and speak it powerfully, how can one not think that after listening to him speak. He is honest, says what he means and means what he says. Sure he isn't a 100% perfect, none of us are, but as for politicians he is as close as it gets.

[zzsharka]

Sorry mate I should have viewed Ron Paul speaking before making that comment, he does look honest and passionate and says what nobody else seems to have the balls to say !

[enemyartistkristofeR]

How do we know who is all talk, Ron Paul?

Well, I guess we don't know for sure who is all talk or not. A lot of people voted for Obomber thinking he was the real deal and all he brought about was more of the same.

But Ron Paul seems to me to be as honest as they come, he isn't some slick made for TV guy like Obomber is. When he debates or talks about a subject he goes straight for the jugular, he doesn;t ever dance around a question like other politicians do. Ron Paul seems trust worthy to me.

No, Palin is a Neo-Con, Ron Paul would NOT choose that moron to be his running mate. Yes, Ron Paul would be 77, it would be great if he were a bit younger, but he isn't. The man is in excellent condition though, he exercises, bike rides quite a bit. And just look at him, he is a sharp dude. So I do not think that would be such a problem. He isn't going to try to be el Dictator like W., or Obomber.

END The FED

END The WARS

RON PAUL for President 2012!
