Now the NDAA is on the books folks. It is time to re-evaluate the candidates I think. To me, it looks like RON PAUL IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE THAT SUPPORTS FREEDOM.

<<<< The founders wanted to set a high bar for the government to overcome in order to deprive an individual of life or liberty,” Paul, the libertarian congressman, said Monday in a weekly phone message to supporters. “To lower that bar is to endanger everyone. When the bar is low enough to include political enemies, our descent into totalitarianism is virtually assured. The Patriot Act, as bad as its violations against the Fourth Amendment was, was just one step down the slippery slope. The recently passed National Defense Authorization Act continues that slip into tyranny, and in fact, accelerates it significantly.”......

......The danger of the NDAA is its alarmingly vague, undefined criteria for who can be indefinitely detained by the U.S. government without trial.”“It is no longer limited to members of Al Qaeda or the Taliban, but anyone accused of substantially supporting such groups or associated forces,” Paul continued. “How closely associated, and what constitutes substantial support? What if it was discovered that someone who committed a terrorist act was once involved with a charity? Or suppose a political candidate? Are all donors of that candidate or supporters of that candidate now suspects and subject to indefinite detainment? Is that charity now an associated force?” .....>>>>


In the debates we all heard Perry, Santorum, Bachman, Gingrich say they thought the Patriot Act should be "strengthened". Romney and Huntsman may have also. WELL IT LOOKS LIKE THEY GOT THEIR WISH with the NDAA.



Since these candidates favor Tyranny over Freedom for America, and we know that Tyranny has arrived with the NDAA, are you still as supportive of these ANTI-FREEDOM candidates?

Hell no. That's what the GOP and especially the tea party's agenda is all about, to crap all over the constitution and turn america into an extreme right fascist police state.

All The Paul Cult Rhetoric aside, yes I will be voting for someone else, the only one with experience as President and the the only one that does not leave a slime trail behind them or has ideas that would be Bad of the Nation and out People, I will be voting for President Obama.

Sad, how willing some people are to sign off on their own country's demise.

In 2012 we will have the rare opportunity to change the course of history and reverse decades of bad monetary and foreign policy.

It will be a tough couple of years but America will eventually be restored to the great nation she once was.
We can take our medicine now, or we can continue taking the poison (Bailouts/Increased Debt/Inflation/War/Loss of Freedoms) that will slowly but surely kill us.

No, I will not vote for any candidate who has shown his willingness to violate the US Constitution. Obama, Romney & Gingrich all fit that description.

Here we go again. Anyone who doesn't worship Ron Paul is anti-freedom. And anti-Consitution. And anti-liberty. And hates kittens.

Ron Paul's supporters: even more annoying than Obama's, if that's possible.
