I think Paul’s plan (eliminating the IRS) is good, but I don’t like much else about him.

I’d rather go to a Fair Tax where income tax got dropped altogether, but at the same time, I think we need somebody intelligent and experienced enough to know that there is life beyond the US tax system.

I started off thinking that Gingrich had no chance, but the more I hear, the more I like. He’s not a pie in the sky non-poitician populist (like Cain), but he’s also not just a successful US governor (like Perry) and he seems to realize the place of the US in world history and world events. In fact, he’s the only one who seems to get it.

OK, so he eliminates the IRS...

And then what? Surely Ron Paul isn’t advocating ZERO government. If not, how does he intend to fund what he believes is necessary? By what means if we have no income tax?

What’s Ron Paul’s plan?

Sadly; Newt is the only one of those running who 'gets it'. We are fortunate to have a candidate who needs no 'on the job training'; a Conservative with a 'vision' plan for America's recovery and he is dismissed out of hand; in favor, of what seems; almost a 'designer' candidate option.

Is Newt perfect; no. ..but he is far more perfect than the rest of what is our ill-equipped - by comparison - candidates.

The sheer shallowness of our Party, right now; is pathetic. IMHO. . .
