I know many fine people who are supporting Ron Paul, serious Christians (not the one-day-a-week types), mature individuals, who are as decent as anyone gets. Why? Because they see a budget that is over $1 trillion in the red year after year, and even the Republicans do not have a chance of doing anything about it. On a related note, many of these people were Cain supporters before Cain dropped out (for the same US financial reason). For me, I just can’t get over the other 20 percent of what Ron Paul says.

In my view, Ron Paul’s financial policies should be discussed and incorporated into the Republican candidate’s platform heading into November.

On a side note: Everything I know about numbers, finance, and math, and common sense, tells me that we are on borrowed time, and we are not too far away from major changes in our daily lives. I try not to think about it too much because the consequences are so concerning. Unfortunately, even if Republicans win both sides of Congress and the Presidency, I do not see the math changing.

Leeme tell ya something, most working class private sector Americans that are not sitting on their butts collecting some bloated government retirement pensions, have a GD belly full of the endless political lies and insider status quo. We're all being conned by experts who occasionally throw the people a bone, as they laugh themselves silly watching everyone chase it.

Most have had a belly full of the group think groupies that swallow this sh*t as well as the insiders that serve it up to them.

Americans are sick of government playing them for suckers while economically gang raping them as they attempt to control our every move while lining their pockets with our money.

Great video BTW

“a budget that is over $1 trillion in the red year after year, and even the Republicans do not have a chance of doing anything about it.”

Ron Paul was in the U.S. Congress three different periods: first from 1976 to 1977, after he won a special election, then from 1979 to 1985 and finally since 1997. These were precisely the times when the Federal spending got out of control and the politicians got us into our current situation.

You say Republicans don't do anything about it.

Can you name a single specific a thing that Ron Paul ever did when he was in Congress to reduce the problem you complain about?

Ron Paul has done absolutely nothing to help resolve the problems he makes his issues.

Ron Paul has been ineffective as a legislator. He is a long term Washington insider who runs against Washington.

Ron Paul's foreign policy is a regurgitation of the leftist “blame America for everything” and “attack America and support America's enemies”. It is dangerous and borders on the treasonous.

His domestic policy is to be part of the Congress and do nothing and then complain about the Congress and the Federal government.
