There are always options, but the other guys can afford much better marketing. And as somebody that loves the free market so much, you should know that good business sense and marketing is what takes somebody to the top. The free market just doesn't feel that it can benefit as greatly by buying Ron Paul as having democrats and republicans run things, since they have already purchased both parties. Why risk so much money pushing a libertarian or independant when you have two perfectly good parties in the garage already? I know you love the free market, and with good reason. But they are the reason that we only have two terrible choices shoved down our throat every election cycle. It's just good business.

 

 

I still want to argue with you, because while you're right, I hate that it's true :p

(not the you being right part, but what you are right about)

lol, it's cool. You're right about alot of things I don't like. Ideologically I agree with alot of you say, but pragmatically I tend to be less sure. But I too believe in personal responsibility above all else, and standing on ones own feet with as little help (or interference depending on perspective) from the government as possible. I don't always like the way you say things, but I agree with alot of what you say.

 

lol, thanks. Yea, I see you and I very similar. The only big difference is I am turning 40 in a few months.

I have had the luxury of seeing 5 presidents as an adult, and all of them had the same problem. They all thought they could fix things by making it there problem to solve.

Every single president, centralizes power a little bit more, and every time they do, things get worse. In my lifetime, we have yet to have one say "problem x just isn't a federal issue. Let's stop worrying about it, and let the states take care of it".

Ron Paul was the closest to a president that would have done that, and he was not remotely close. At my age, I am either more wise, or more jaded. Most likely a combination of both, let's hope I am more of the former, and not the latter.
