Ron Paul: Block grants to the States.
Gary Johnson, When Gary goes to Washington, we all go.. GARY'S TRACK RECORD SPEAKS VOLUMES. http://www.garyjohnson2012.com/front
"The time is near at hand which must determine whether Americans are to be free men or slaves."
George Washington
Too bad there will be no discussion of the political elites entitlements…
You mean like how Ron Paul has always voluntarily opted out of the generous Congressional retirement plan?
Or maybe you didn't know when Ron Paul was delivering babies he refused to accept medicaid, he treated those people for free instead.
I've listened to these clowns on several topics over the year I've been a member of BG, and I have to say they are mouthpieces for the RINO wing of the Republican party. They like to talk about political realism and feasibility and endorse all the half-a$$ed solutions that have led to the crises of bloated and oppressive government.
The problem we have is one of principle leadership. It's true, the political cards are stacked against anyone in favor of individual liberty because in the modern American welfare state, every one has something to loose. That's the way the system is set up! My vote goes to whomever can ennunciate a principled platform that defends the minimal state: one that protects life, liberty and property AND THAT'S IT! It may be that such a person can't solve all the problems in one or two terms, but they have to set the stage for a progressive reduction in the scope of government. And that can't be done through mealy-mouthed policy tweaks.
Do you have any idea what the little image next to my name is…?
It's too bad that GJ gets no press and no love from BG.com. Here's a guy with the most legitimate fiscally conservative chops of any 2012 candidate (declared or otherwise), and because he takes pragmatic stances with social issues, he's considered a pariah.
The GOP is working real hard to lose the 2012 election. The President is a manager. He makes sure the budget is spent wisely, agencies don't go out of control and the laws are enforced. In other words no Solyndra's, no Fast and Furious and immigration laws enforced. You want to reduce the deficit. How much is the Government spending to support illegal immigrants? No one wants to know. But the GOP is willing to go after something the working class has been putting money into all of their working lives.
He stands for freedom. I cannot find anything wrong with that. The so called main stream, or our government run media is keeping him hidden. Simply, because freedom brings prosperity! It is not rocket science. I use to have certain requirements for voting for somebody, but found they do not hold a candle to freedom! If you make sense, and want to do what you say your going to do you are a threat to the establishment!
Didn't think so. You just seem to enjoy running your mouth…
You can keep thumbing me down, I don't really give a sh!t.
However, I'm still waiting for an answer…
