Don't blame me, I voted for Rand Paul in the '16 primaries.

The Republican primary voters always reject the candidates who believe in small government, maximum liberty, and freedom. Always.

We have freedom, but no democracy, we have a Constitutional Republic, quite different than mob rules.

The freedom we have is in jeopardy because of 533 corrupt politicians who are stealing Trillions from us in broad daylight. The greatest heist of all time. Facilitated by an ignorant & brainwashed electorate debating Red vs. Blue.

They've stolen from our past (Social Security lock box, & Fort Knox), our present (Monopoly money which devalues all the paper we hold), and our future (borrowing from China, Japan, private citizens, & underfunded pensions).

They are the thieves of the past, present & future...3-level chess, while your debating Red vs. Blue and binge watching Game of Thrones.

But wait there's more...used to be Dad worked, Mom stayed at home to raised the kids. Dad retired at 65. Leave it to Beaver (Eddie Haskell r.i.p.).

Now, Dad AND Mom both have to work, the kids are upto their eyeballs in student debt, and Grandma & Grandpa are still working well into their 70's. After Dad & Mom "retire", they'll do side gigs to offset their declining SS income.

Not much left to squeeze. Soon, kids will start working at age 10, and the family pet will work too! Only the top 1% will retire.

The income and wealth gaps will be much worse than they are now. There will be the Executive office (CEO, CFO, CMO), the Board of Directors, & the front line minimum wage slave...no more.

They haven't figured out how to steal from small business owners, home equity, or retirement accounts yet, but trust me, they're working on it.

Meanwhile, the band plays on...and your small Pavlov Dog brain is fixated upon Red vs. Blue.

Personally, I am in favor of cutting spending across the board!
Aha! The 1 person in a Thousand who gets it. Welcome to the Titanic my friend!

The fact that this thread went nowhere proves that nearly every poster here is a hypocrite.

I trot out 2 politicians who:

are fiscally responsible, and prove it in their votes time & time again. They walk the talk.

no women are accusing them of anything sexual, or nefarious. They are both squeaking clean.

they are both solid family men never divorced.

and NOBODY here will support them...except for 2 of us thus far.

This proves you are all hypocrites. Morals are meaningless. Responsible spending..meaningless.

A farmer and a eye doctor are too boring for you all.

It's beyond sad. Will somebody please admit it...these values are meaningless. Quit lying to yourselves.

Rand Paul (Dentist), & Thomas Massie (Farmer) ,both of Kentucky, voted NO. The last 2 responsible politicians left in DC. Sad.
I don't think they voted at all, since they were absent.

The GOP wrote the bill, and crammed it down our throats with the Dems help, and they'll do it again if they are allowed to stay in power.
