The Koch Brothers support John Birch ideology. FStv.com reviewed their agenda recently.

I'm not narrow minded. I am open to any Independent who can win in 2012. Why should it bother you that people dont buy into media hype? This is an opinion forum.

I would support an independant that could win as well, but right now, this is not going to happen. We need to look at our choices and go with what we think will work for the majority of the people. When I see someone say he/she doesn't like somebody because they have an R or D next to their name, I see narrow minded thinker.

What about Ron Paul? he is for abolishing the Fed. I like that he stands up for actual issues.

He doesn't support immediately ending the fed. Nay-sayers like to use this against him citing the devastating effect on the economy it would have. Dr. Paul wants to phase out it's power over us, which would eventually lead to it ending.

My point is, the people that like to delegitimize him use the fed argument against him. He stands for much more than just abolishing the Fed so I think we should all work together to spread the underlying ideology of sound money and small government.

Ron Paul has a good following in the area I live in (at the moment) he should run- Independents are disgusted with both sides.

The system has been broken, and business as usual, bailing out Wall Street, is not what people want. Anyone running who supports Bernanke is untrustworthy.(to put it mildly)

I can't believe people hold trust and have faith in Geithner. That man gives me the creeps everytime I listen to him.

I don't care about PARTIES I care about individuals and their individual views on policies.
Yep, Kucinich. He is a man of integrity, knowledge, and heart. He is also for repealing the "Patriot" Act. I am going to write him in on the 2012 ballot. If he didn't have a 'D' behind his name, you could look at his policies and not be able to guess what party he belongs to.

But this is all just a fun mental exercise since the POTUS 2012 and beyond has already been chosen by the Puppeteers. We will get to vote so it "looks pretty", but their man will get in no matter what.

There is no difference (with a few exceptions such as Kucinich) between the parties. They all march to the same drummer- bought and paid for, gun to the head if need be, and impeached/disgraced/or even assassinated if he/she steps out of line.

So I am no longer stroking myself into choosing between R and D because "my vote makes a difference"- it doesn't. But I can at least write in who I want and be square with myself.

I LOVE it that Kucinich runs for POTUS every cycle and enters the debates. He knows he's not got a chance in Hades of winning. He just wants to publicly hold some feet to the fire and communicate some common sense ideas he hopes will take root in the American psyche.

I want to see who all will come forward. But if I had to choose from those already pretty much in, I'd choose Ron Paul, like I did in 2008.
