Ron Paul and kucinich must join forces for the white house along with Ventura, Peter Schiff, and a precious few others. The good people with half a brain will vote for them.

Not everyone can fluorish in an economy driven by monetary inflation. They don't get it. They get burned in the long run. I can begrudgingly admit that we need a stable currency for the ones that don't get it. I don't know why we have to look out for them really. Many of those that are ignorant of the fractional reserve system and how it operates almost always seem to be able to brandish a certain arrogance while displaying their complete and total ignorance. End the Fed.

@Ilovehistorychannel i like the way he talks but talk is cheap - what would he do if he's actually elected ... he's still a politician and that has always equated with liar - can you show me even 1 politician in the history of the country that kept even half their promises and didn't screw the country some other way - i'm not so old so it's not a challenge but an inquiry

Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich should run together in 2012! Destroy the long-standing left vs. right illusion!

Kucinich is the best example of a career politician, the man has never done real work in his whole life.

Ron Paul 2012!
