Past Democrats have done the same thing. Both parties are guilty of the same things. If you really want to get historical about it. Additionally, Ron Paul has no other options in the way that this country is setup. Your only hope of winning is by fitting into the cookie cutter dynamic of a two party system. As for the healthcare thing? Please. Why should I have to pay for someone elses medical problems, lifestyle choices and mistakes? If you pay for health insurance, thats exactly what you're doing! Where do you think the money goes? Only you pay huge amounts each year for it since costs are so high - France for example uses the fact that it buys medicine, equipment in huge bulk to drive down costs. Pharmacy companies have 2 choices - dont sell in France or sell there stuff cheaper. And even if I did, why would I want some suit in Washington to decide how that money gets spent? The same guys who vote to give themselves pay raises during the worst recession since the Great Depression? Better some guy in Washington who has (or should have) the best interest of people in mind rather than a greedy corperation out to make a profit and find any way to not pay out for a procedure. Do you realize how ass backwards that is? This whole concept of socialized medicine is hitting a peak because people are most vulnerable currently than they have been in over 60 years. It's another way for the government to take control of your life. At least where i'm from the Government doesn't say who can have what procedure - a doctor does. And they cant refuse anyone care. It's not backward. Whats backward is a private system thats way overpriced compared to any other system with no real benefits. If its backward, why not privatise the police force? the fire service? the army? |
Going off topic a bit now. Ron Paul is a clever guy and even though I dont agree with everything he does hes the best republican candidate in my opinion.
This is not an exit.
