This is a topic which should have been discussed at the FOX Iowa GOP "debate". It seems as though none of the other candidates even want to discuss our monetary policy.
That is because they don't have the foggiest idea what is involved and the News commentators are just as clueless and wouldn't even know how to phrase a question about it.

Sean Hannity has "charisma".

Herman Cain knows and I suspect Jon Huntsman does as well. I'd really enjoy hearing some fireworks and getting to the heart of the discussion about our monitary policy, the world banks, and the FED.

I don't want to be "suckered-in" by anyone's so-called charisma or someone's supposed "intellect." I don't feel good about Obama or any of the Republican candidates...It's a sad state of affairs! I don't have anyone to vote for in next year's race. Spooky!

You just showed your cards. You will only vote D, and can't trust your own party, with good reason. If there was a super hero R would you vote for him/her?

I haven't heard a single Dem give as honest a summation of our problems as I did on that stage in Iowa. Every Republican recognizes the problems -- now it's which one will actually follow through.

We aren't going to vote on promises or catch phrases like "change" this time around

I don't trust anyone...Candidates say anything to get elected and try to paint themselves as heroes or the next messiah...I'm not impressed.

Don't go by what they say, go by how they vote. No one votes as consistently and is more true to their word than Ron Paul.
Ron Paul has never voted for an increase in taxes. He hates government theft.
