We’re supposed to believe that “conservative” politicians would stop the increases in Federal spending if only they could.
Conservative politicians are simply to put on a show to keep conservatives voting Republican.
Make the sheeple think their government is really the ruler, not the bankers. If only more of our guys were elected, we’d have a smaller government. Sure.
Now Rand is a different animal.
The bankers need someone to function as opposition the THEM.
Rand and his dad play the part of the “against the bankers” token group in Congress.
They don’t want to abolish the Fed, just audit it.
They don’t want government to issue its own new money, they want the bankers to continue to issue new money.
Rand and Ron are “against” the bankers, but they support the bankers at the same time.
And they make sure to “lead” the anti-banker caucus.
So opposition to the bankers is controlled and watered down.
Rand and Ron never will win conservatives - all they have to do to make sure they never do is come out (as Libertarians) supporting recreational drug legalization.
It’s all such a silly game of lies.
Poor little sheeple. It’s great to see FReepers frequently starting to see through the lies (of both left AND right).
One major difference: the "Left" gets theirs to vote early and often. The "Right" tends to confuses their sheeple who are apt to stay on the couch. That's OK with the "Right" that seeks only to maintain a place at the table at which the booty is divided, not actually run anything.
It's clear we need a Conservative Party. However, any "Third Party" will hand the Democrat Party even more power. Rand? Ross Perot Reincarnated.
