You're ridiculous...This election is in November 2012, go back to your bed.

You really believe these two statements you've made don't you?

The economy is probably improving for the wealthy elite, but not for working class America. The jobless rate as reported my well be going down, but it's due to people accepting underemployment and or their benifits have run out. It's nothing but book cooking.

I've seen nothing over the past thirty five years that leads me to believe the U.S. economy has been improving. Nothing!

How in the world can anyone possibly come to such a conclusion as that? Do you live in an Ivory Tower somewhere untouched by reality?

There are two Republican candidates that would be good for the country, namely Gary Johnson and Dr. and Congressman Ron Paul. Recently "USA Today" said that it wouldn't be necessary for Ron Paul to raise nearly as much money as Mitt Romney or other contenders because they all have former positions/issues they've flip flopped on that need to be explained away. Ron Paul doesn't. His record is consistent and clean as a whistle and easily verifiable (unlike our current President's past).

So even the major media is starting to give Ron Paul some well deserved albeit extremely overdue attention.

Ron Paul 2012!
It's refreshing to see someone running on the platform of individual liberty instead of a platform of blowing people up or a platform of stealing from wealthy folks.
