Romney's Exit -- Who Does It Help?

While the two previous posters have a good point about Ron Paul's platform, some of which I am also in agreement, going from GWB to someone like Ron Paul will be a shock to the system like a hot tub to an icy lake. True, Obama and Hillary will present some more of the same policies such as in health care where insurance companies are still in control and denied claims will continue to be a problem, and the gluttonous defense contractors will still get their huge cut of the budget in Washington. But we remain hopeful for at least some changes in economic and foreign policy. And we can then push for campaign reform for public funding as they do in Europe. Only then, will we have a greater representation from all ends of the political spectrum, not just from those who have the money to buy the presidency.

It is a strange world if Obama (who claims he is against the war) was competing with McCain (who wants the war to continue for a hundred years,) for the independents.I guess the independents have not yet decided on the war?You telling me those who vote for McCain will now vote for Obama? What strange bedfellows they are. It seems the one thing they have in common is their love for Joe Lieberman.

STOP listening to ANYTHING from CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, or NBC news. They're just a bunch of corporate propaganda operatives executing the elitist effort to subjugate the American people.

Here's breaking news:

RON PAUL IS STILL IN THE RACE AND HAS 20 MILLION BUCKS IN THE BANK.

Why is he being completely ignored?

Not because he's crazy or makes no sense (in which case he would not have been elected to Congress 10 times), but because he represents the genuine change that scares people. They like the idea of real freedom that Paul represents, but they're too damn lazy to accept the personal responsibility that comes along with it.

So they say things like "Yeah, that's nice, but it will never work. He'll never get anything done. He doesn't have a chance."

Then, with their conscience sufficiently self-massaged, they go right back to rooting for the first female or first black president like they rooted for the New England Patriots to go undefeated.

Which is a major part of our country's problem. Too many treat the election of our government like a sporting event. They refuse to even consider differing views, the same way Red Sox fans refuse to even consider the Yankees. People will stick up for their team or their player no matter what, many times even knowing they're in the wrong. Same for politics and the election of our government.

THIS INSANE BEHAVIOR MUST STOP. We have to start somewhere in the effort to turn things around in this country. We can't just keep having the same old partisan arguments. That's exactly what the elitists want, because it means their divide and conquer strategy is working.

And they are damn close to writing the final chapter of our republic.

Some say Ron Paul and those who support him are naive. That's just another spineless cop-out for lemmings who prefer ignorant politics as usual. A better example of naivete would be anyone believing we'll get anything truly different from a Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama presidency.

"Freedom is not free" is not just sentiment for dead soldiers. It's a reminder that good citizenship is more important than good partisanship.

I thought long and hard before I decided to speak out in favor of Ron Paul. I don't by any means think he's perfect. I don't think he has every single answer. But I do believe strongly that he provides the best chance we have (by FAR) to get our country back.

We just need to wake the hell up and recognize it.
