Both of the main parties apparently don't have any ideas.

But I'm not voting for Romney due to what he has said.

Ditto on Ron Paul.

And I think it is time for change again.

Let's face it, with congress we have inept leaders. Pffffft.

I'm looking for someone who will balance the budget by cutting equally all parts of it. As well as put 10% aside to pay on the principal of the national debt.

That way everyone suffers but pays for all the stuff we couldn't afford without leaving it on future generations to suffer.

It amazes me! Everybody wants a Ron Paul, but they don't want Ron Paul. 38 years proving he walks what he talks, is honest and principaled, and follows the constitution, upholding his oath of office.

In this statement:

"those whose principle base is the wealthy will protect the wealthy
those whose principle base is not the wealthy will not"

well... Ron Pauls principle base is the people. ALL people! Rich, poor, black, white, young, old, sick, EVERYONE, and even refuses to slur his competitors, only pointing out their political views and prior statements, while they slur him with lies, or black him out of the media.

Guess the Thomas Jefferson and Samuel Adams types aren't so popular huh?

Guess propaganda does work!

Nobody (in their right mind) wants more wars
Nobody wants the IRS
Nobody likes the gov't intrusions into their lives
Nobody wants bailouts to bankers
Nobody wants a worthless currency
Nobody wants a corrupt gov't
Nobody wants crony capitalism but rather a free market
Everyone wants peace
Everyone wants more freedom of choice
Everyone defends, or says they defend, the constitution
Nobody likes the TSA
80% want to rein in or abolish the Federal Reserve

But they don't want Ron Paul?

THAT'S JUST NUCKING FUTS! slaphead

the problem is the "PEOPLE" they do not live up to their responsibility to live in a republic

they say those two are both bad so i will not vote

i say vote for one of the others running for president

(or if another office if you do not like how things are vote for the challenger)

do your homework

if enough "OTHER" candidates get enough votes win or lose eventually those in office will get the message

the wasted vote is the one not cast or the one cast for the lesser of two evils

OK - I was kind of joking....You see RP is known for always voting
"No" on everything which isn't expressly authorized by the Constitution
and "RP" does not appear anywhere explicitly in the Constitution!

laugh

From the Wiki:

Paul's nickname "Dr. No"[4] reflects both his medical degree and his assertion that he will "never vote for legislation unless the proposed measure is expressly authorized by the Constitution".[5] This position has frequently resulted in Paul casting the sole "no" vote against proposed legislation. The central tenet of Paul's political philosophy is that "the proper role for government in America is to provide national defense, a court system for civil disputes, a criminal justice system for acts of force and fraud, and little else."

=-=-=

All kidding aside, he wants to get rid of all foreign aid, he wants
to eliminate FEMA, five Cabinet-level departments: Energy, HUD, Commerce, Interior, and Education. He has called for elimination of other federal agencies such as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,[19] and the Internal Revenue Service,[20] calling them "unnecessary bureaucracies". Paul would severely reduce the role of the Central Intelligence Agency; reducing its functions to intelligence-gathering. He would eliminate operations like overthrowing foreign governments and assassinations. He says this activity is kept secret even from Congress and "leads to trouble".[21] He also commented, "We have every right in the world to know something about intelligence gathering, but we have to have intelligent people interpreting this information."

And what is hilarious is he means that the CIA is not the correct
agency for the interpretation!

laugh

RP is extremely too extreme. Although it is certainly a reasonable
goal to reduce the overhead of our wasteful and inefficient US Govt
functions, it is ludicrous to propose the kind of slash and burn
tactics RP proposes. Most people realize that there are vital needs
for every area in which RP demands draconian cuts and since he has
been big on the cuts but pretty much silent on how the vital needs
would be met then RP is widely discounted as any kind of serious
candidacy and is turned into little more than a cartoon candidate.
His economic policies are widely believed to ensure a serious
recession if followed as proposed - throwing millions of people out
of work and eliminating all kinds of important govt support functions.

His main contributions to the race are making a case for lower
govt spending (which is a no brainer) and comedic relief.

On the plus side, he was cosponsor of H.R. 2592, the States' Rights to Medical Marijuana Act. (it IS a very stressful job y'know)

smokin

I guess we will all just have to vote for Obama.
