sadly, I agree with your prediction on who wins nomination and election
Most of this troubles me because their is a serious attempt to co-opt the Tea Parties and to redefine (or pervert) conservatism by the Paul movement.
It is better to stand on principle and to defeat a rotten candidate then just to win.
Morality was paramount in the Founding of our nation. The Paul movement is anti-morality.
I can only hope we can shake up this state (as unlikely as it my seem) and bring it into reality.
Unsustainable is an understatement,as it is we are solely lacking representation at the Federal level, if this continues our children and grandchildren will be as bankrupt as any living child in a third world country
