Clueless ... Move to Mexico or China if you dont want to be free and prosperous.

So, Ron Paul don't tell you what you want to hear. No one said he was a salesman, with the bait & switch sales.

Sorry you don't want to hear the truth.


Speaking of mentally ill... Repeating the same thing over and over, expecting different results...... Look in the mirror my man.

Yes, you have to be intelligent and educated to understand how, a reaction is tied to every action.

Those with the ignorant blinders on, will never see how Y makes X happen.

I understand Mexico's education system, is not that great.

Most think he's a nice old man. Just like the relative in most of our families.

I think he wants to change his party, and, in the long run, change the nation ... win everyone over to his point of view. I understand most if not all he's been talking about. Most of what he says, or when he says it, is in the wrong forum ... presented in the wrong way. A way which turns people off. But once is enough, listening to him. He consistently repeats himself. The most embarassing moments, from how I view it, is his victory speeches on election nights. When he has a huge audience listening in, say, on CNN as one example. He wanders-off into a lengthy discussion of gold and silver, and other things. I think most viewers are just like me. We think he's like the odd relative I earlier described. Relatively few people will take him seriously. Let's remember that these GOP primaries are very lightly participated-in this year. Never large numbers, but this year it's being said they're down by about 25% as far as participants. While he may get 5 or 15% of the vote, it's a small percentage of a small number of people. He's got his soap box to stand on, and he's screwing-up the opportunity to convert more to his cause. As an aside, I have noticed, this week, that Mitt has been inserting the word "Liberty" into his speeches. Obviously a take-away from Ron Paul.
Do you mean to tell me, the other candidates make more sense to you than Ron, Wow, you really need to wake up.
What if?...

I think this is the problem with most of the uninformed voters in this country, they are to brain lazy to educate themselves and actually study the candidates and listen to the crap the media spews out.

That is exactly the problem! If it doesn't come from or isn't approved by the "lamestream" media then it must be wacko! As a DJ I saw how easy it was to control the masses! People had to be told which clubs were cool to go to! If it wasn't plugged on KISS FM, than by golly it wasn't the place to be!

The gold standard would prohibit the fed from printing money like crazy and would stop politicians spending like crazy. This is why they have brain washed us to believe it is bad.
