Ron Paul actually explained to the people of this country that war against Iran is an insane concept. Michelle Bachman and the moderator's tried to call his position "dangerous". The "dangerous" position that Ron Paul of course is endorsing is the ridiculous concept that Iran should be allowed to govern itself without foreign countries trying to dictate and impose their will on them. Now I'm no fan of Iran or any of these freak show middle east countries, but jesus christ back off allready. Iran has zero interest in actually going to war with anyone, they would be anhilitated in days and they know this. But for some reason the neo-conservative wing of the republican party has decided that war with Iran is the only option. We have all seen the polls that show Obama beats both Gingrich and Romney in heads up fight (and let's face it Romney and Obama really aren't very different anyways). But the reason neither of them will be able to beat Obama is they won't be able to pull the independent voters from Obama, but Ron Paul can. Lot's of independent voters voted for Obama because he said we would end our wars and bring our troops home. And for a lot of independent voters Obama has failed to live up to their expectations, but if the only choice is Obama vs Gingrich or Romney they'll stick with Obama because at least he is kind of doing it (it's kind of half assed but something is better than nothing). We need to wake up as republicans. We are the party of individual freedoms and the party that believes that the true way to proseperity is the individual liberty of each and every man, because it is only when man has liberty that he is truly free. Republicans don't believe in government control over the basic tasks in our lives and we don't believe our government should be enforcing it's beliefs on other countries. You may not believe in everything Ron Paul stands for but atleast he will be their to defend your right to say it. |
Sorry to break it to you in case you haven't heard (the rather old) news but both the Democrats and Republicans are in the pockets of the Business Elite in particular large Corporations especially from the financial sector. There is a strong correlation between who spends the most on the campaign trail and the eventual winner.
