Rightie? I have always considered myself liberal and voted for Obama in 2008 but I have since realized that all this Democrat vs. Republican tirade is a show. Both parties are the same they just play the two sides against one another. Both are responsible for America becoming a Corporatocracy. Any candidate not talking about corruption in The Federal Reserve does not understand the source of all economic problems in our country and certainly does not deserve my vote.
Obama will probably win though and I will still vote for him if he is up against any other Republican besides Ron Paul-I just don't see things changing very soon if that is the case.

No not at all. All you've done is ignore and deny and not used any facts whatsoever. Just silly cheerleader statements.
Again why do you back failed policies that bring economic ruin to this country and cost us the lives of our military personnel over nothing to do with protecting our borders? I guess those rocks Iran can throw at us can do damage huh?

Why? Why vote for Obama? He's just as much the problem as any Republican who he might come up against, aside from Dr. Paul. I implore you to look at 3rd party options or writing in Dr. Paul.

I'm not a radical by any stretch of the imagination. But Ron Paul predicted our current economic crisis in such detail a decade ago with such precision and detail that it borders on eerie. I can't think of any other politician who was anywhere close to this prescient.

I wouldn't be surprised if Paul was psychic. But he's sure a Radical.

Radical? The guy was right. What I think is insane is continuing to listen to the same people who were wrong before and are wrong today. Here you go:

Too bad whatever candidate you like couldn't have been this foresighted. We would have avoided a mess of hurt.

Care to explain one of these other ways you speak of?

Yeah clearly being able to diagnose the reasons for our current mess and the way out it is "kooky" and "radical."
