I'd say the latter.


I'm a Libertarian, so I couldn't care less. Both parties are contrived entities acting as opposing forces, while the reality is they are the same thing. You wanted social justice and got Bush incarnate.

YOU ALL LOST WHEN YOU allowed both parties, and MSNBC, and FOX, and NPC, and ABC, and CBS, to snuff Paul out.
How much longer will you folks keep blaming the evil media for your goofy candidate not getting elected?

When the corporate shills of a media stop backing their horses and give equal time to candidates. When will you realize that you've become a useful idiot?

Except what you're putting forward isn't truth, but politically-motivated rhetoric. You could accuse me of the same, but libertarian rhetoric is motivated by self-enrichment while the worst you could say about what I'm posting is that it is overly-compassionate... oh how such a smear would hurt me (j/k).

In other words, you admit it: you're cooked.

So you not only spout like a parrot, but pat yourself on the back for it? Wow... like I said, useful idiots. You know there is a reason for the term.

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.

I deeply hope for the sake of the future of the country and the quality of American society that you are right.

At age seventy-five I have lost hope. I think the present-day Republican party has irrevocably cut itself adrift from its honorable and intelligent past, and that the revenant that remains of it is dangerous to our democratic society. And the Democratic party "reform" engineered between 1968 and 1972 by Fred Harris and Fred Dutton, did incredible damage to that party.

I'm not too far behind you. I WAS a Reagan Republican, and he was the first President I was of age to vote for. I lived through the Carter years. Since then I've been given Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Obama. My God is it any wonder I'm jaded?


Both parties have become fodder for global corporations and banking interests. All I want is the constitutional country we had decades ago. I'm derided and attacked for wanting the liberty and freedom this country was founded on.

People have no idea of what they speak when they back the current lot of Republicans and Democrats.

Serious?? You thought a guy who never ran so much as a lemonade stand, would understand economics better than a guy who has created thousands of jobs in the private sector??

SMH...........

That's why our needle isnt moving the right way, now. We have what we deserve.

Hope you like your 4.00 dollar gas too.
