What people need to realize is, we don't have to agree with everything from them. They can never change what we don't want them to change and vice versa.
I don't agree with everything about Rand Paul. Not all of his ideals will get passed if he becomes president though. He still has to go through Congress like everyone else.

If people could understand this, a third party could be a viable candidate.

They actually thought Obama was different. As we see he is not in fact he is worse. The only thing Obama did was come after the little guy and didn't touch big business.

I've been kicking myself for still not making the switch. I will be doing so very soon. My big bank has been manipulating debits and credits during their 6 hour reconciling window (12am-6am) so that debits come out before the credits go in so that my account overdrafts. E

The employees at the bank have been very nice and helpful, but the system is totally bogus IMO.

Honestly though, I don't remember any of you supporting the group trying to hold Wall Street Accountable. In fact, I remember several of you making fun of American protesters getting beaten by the Police.


They were standing up for the very thing many of you are on here complaining about.
