Hi. I don't know how many people have heard about Ron Paul so I thought I might leave a link. He is running for President and he is the top money maker by American citizens.

Hmm.... well he's pro-life so that's bad to me.... doesn't support same sex adoption and that's bad (to be fair he didn't support adoption of ALL unmarried couples).... but then again he supports revising the don't ask don't tell policy and things drug regulation should be left up to the states, so that is very good.
He's certainly an adorable old man! He looks like he carries Werther's Originals in his pocket! I honestly think Clinton will win. Or Obama. Obama looks like real competition. Kucinich is my idea of a perfect President, but he doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell against Hillary or Obama. Gravel is lucky enough to be on stage. If Giuliani won it wouldn't be the end of the world, either. He's the least worst republican up there. Then again he did marry his second cousin... and he's a notorious ferret-hater.

Yeah, His education policy is horrible however, unless you are filthy rich, in which case you will be able to afford the best education and if you are poor your children don't get to go to a good school or possibly a school at all. This would mean only the rich would be able to get higher education creating an aristocracy who are going to be the only ones with an education and a decent standard of living.
He also supports a privatized military force which is crazy the US should not be using mercenaries in place of an army. This is a horrible idea, unless you support fascism supported by hired goons.

Um...isn't that what's going on right now? Ha ha ha...but not really on the laughing part...
I think the GOP hasn't really a shot in hell except for Paul. They screwed up by letting Bush run amok. OTOH, if Hillary wins, I'll kill myself. I can't stand being ruled by a bunch of filthy rich libs who care soooo much about the human condition, they're willing to give every poor person the shirt off YOUR back. Oh and socialized healthcare not only is the worst idea ever created, but it will never work in this country.
I think this probably the only thing me and you will ever agree upon. I am just saying it will get worse when we don't have anything but the hired goons.

Personally, I don't like any of the candidates. Ron Paul has some good ideas, but he is incredibly sketchy otherwise. I don't have any guesses as to who is going to win, but I see Ron Paul as a sort of Ralph Nader sort of candidate in the sense that he will never get enough votes to be a serious contender, but he will certainly get enough votes to screw up or split the vote of a frontrunner candidate.
I'm supporting Obama as the least of several evils. Since our system allows corporations and billionaires wildly disproportionate influence, we have no candidates that represent the interests of regular people. So you settle for the least offensive, and to me that's Obama. Well, actually it's Kucinich, but he's not going anywhere. Of the Republicans, I think Ron Paul is the best of them, but I don't have a very high opinion of the values of the GOP.

Why did nobody give little kuci any love? He was my favorite dem.
Out of Hillary and Obama, I'd definitely go with Obama. But still, neither candidate makes me very happy.

If Clinton is elected, and I use the word elected loosely, the USA (land of the fee, home of the slave) has become nothing short of a monarchy that has lasted for almost twenty years now.
Sr. Bush, Bill Clinton, Jr. Bush, Hill Clinton
Voting in todays day and age is like trying to polish a turd. The system is broken. It is time to start over.

Whats it to ya?
Apparently yoy arnt familiar with a true monarchy, and neither the Bushes or the Clintons have a chance to be elected again after their terms end, unless Bill’s third wife comes out of the woodwork… haha.
Anyone but huckabee!
Seriously though, I like Clinton better than obama but I think obama would have a better chance at the national elections.. As much as I enjoy seeing conservatives have an apoplexy over Ms. Clinton, that might happen to too many swing voters, wherever they are. I do like, in the republicans, Jhon McCain. I like him best, well until he started sucking up to some of the hardcore of his party, but that’s more of politics and rhetoric than personal beliefs IMHO.

cant believe how many here endorse Clinton.....she wants the US to be a socialist state where the government provides everything....the government raises your kids, the government pays for everything. hell she wants to start a college to teach ppl how to be government workers. as many issues as i have with Ron Paul atleast he wants to downsize government and return the power of government away from the feds and back to the states. yes he endorses things im against but atleast he wants the ppl in the individual states to choose how they wish rules on gay marriage and abortion ect are and hates the idea of the federal government deciding it for all 50 states. Clinton wants to make the federal government even bigger and turn the whole damn US into a wellfare state...........
