The doctor has made a diagnosis and written a prescription, and a treatment has been outlined. Ron Paul is looking forward from everything I have seen and read from him and supporters. Looking back is not really that constructive, you do need to be aware of the past so you do not repeat the mistakes of old but you also need to look forward because that is where we all are going we do not have the technology to correct the mistakes of the past we do have the intelligence to not repeat those mistakes.
You may be asking where is this all going well of course it is going forward we are all creating our new trail in this forest. The Ron Paul campaign is not gone it has just changed as the caterpillar creates it cocoon in preparation for the new stage. The Ron Paul campaign has emerged from the cocoon and the beautiful butterfly is now fanning its wings so that soon it will be able to fly. The new stage of the campaign is now called the Campaign for Liberty http://www.campaignforliberty.com . All of the Ron Paul supporters now need to make a choice.
The road will be very diverse and we will all be working independently. I personally will be working toward a previous goal which is moving to New Hampshire to add my talents with the other activists in New Hampshire as a part of the Free State Project http://www.FreeStateProject.org (which Dr. Ron Paul has endorsed you can view here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI9ZjjEtH4g).

"Ron Paul can't win" as John Stossel would say "give me a break"
I will come out and say it I am a Ron Paul supporter. I never voluntarily gave a politician money before and this year I have given hundreds. I have voted in every election since I turned 18, yes there are elections every year. I was never registered with any political party and I changed my party affiliation to Republican so I could vote in the Primary on super Tuesday.
Why would I do all of this? I have done this because I have never heard of a truthful politician and that is what I see in Ron Paul. Why do I believe he is a truthful politician? He has morals and principle that anyone could see. Ron takes firm stands on issues and will defend those positions. Ask a question to Ron and he will give you a direct answer no beating around the bush and normally he will give you his reasons for that answer. What politician actually answers questions? I would bet if you could think of any they could be counted on one hand.
Ron Paul's campaign is different as anyone could see. He has grassroots support, and that support is very dedicated and passionate. I should know I met some in my area and from what I can tell is the same all over the country.
I am tired of reading every news article and a lot of the news agencies blogs that praise the Ron Paul campaign and then slip in something like "we all know he can't win". Here is a little message to all those news agencies. "We don't know he can't win, I know there is a possibility of him not winning but there is also a possibility of him winning because of people like me". I will say as long as someone is in the middle of a campaign there is a possibility of winning there may be different levels of probability. If I am reading a news story give me the facts, editorials, opinions, and blogs say what you want.

Republican Youtube Debate 11-28-07
In the first part of the debate when McCain came out he gave a creepy hug to the guy that was introducing him.
The first video that was shown was the funny guy singing. I was entertained by that video and actually watched it a couple days before.
Mitt and Rudy did a little back and forth about sanctuary cities and Rudy said Romney employed illegal immigrants.
Tancrado talked about stopping immigration, Hunter brought up the stupid border fence which Penn & Teller's Bullshit showed could be scaled dug under and cut through in a matter of minutes.
Huckabee talked about giving people taxpayer funded college education.
Romney fought with Huckabee
Ron Paul's 1st question was about the North American Union and conspiracy theories. Ron answered that he does not believe in the conspiracy theory but does recognize that money has been spent and about how some power that was being sent to the UN.
McCain called Ron Paul a isolationist. Ron responded with the record that he gets more contributions from active military.
A question was asked about a pledge to cut taxes and Dr. Paul's response was that he has never voted for a tax increase but you also need to reduce spending.
Gulliani doesn't want to cut corn subsidies. He also said that NYC was safer because he enforced gun laws aggressively.
McCain, Romney, Gulliani all do not own a firearm.
Ron Paul was asked a question about abortion and he said that it should be up to the states and he thinks that the person committing the abortion should be punished but it should be up to the states and the individuals in the community.
Huckabee tried to say that putting someone to death was different then a abortion death. He also said he believes every word of the bible.
McCain brought up the phrase that "if we leave they will follow us home" and attacked Ron Paul about his promise that he will bring the troops home. Ron countered with the example after the US left Vietnam.
Huckabee said he wants to expand the space program. I wonder how he expects to pay for that? I would guess stealing money from you and me through taxation.
Ron Paul was asked a question if he would seek a independent canidicy. Ron actually spun the question a little bit but cited that he did nothing to raise the 4.3 million dollars in one day and that there is a revolution going on and people were tired about the way the country is heading.
I also think that Ron's campaign video was the best out of the 8. Thompson submitted a attack ad against Romney and Huckabee.

Ron Paul supporters donate almost 4 million in 24 hours
Looks like Ron Paul supporters are not just a few people because as you can see from the image taken from RonPaulgraphs.com. On November the 5th Ron Paul supporters donated more the 3.9 million dollars. I am not sure if this is a final number because I am not sure if phone donations are counted in this graph but this definitely includes all on-line donations.
The idea of the November 5th donation day was for 100,000 people to all donate $100 to get a total of 10 million dollars in one day. The goal was very ambitious and almost 4 million in one day is nothing to sneeze at especially since individual donations are capped at $2,300 and couple donations are $4,600. If the same demographics are projected with this donations the average donation would be about $40 which would mean that 100,000 people donated $40 I am not saying I know this to be a fact but I am using previous donations to project these numbers. I personally think the average donation for the day would be $100 or more since the $100 was the asked amount for the 5th.
The 5th of November actually is a celebrated day in England called Guy Fawkes day. You can find more information about Guy Fawkes HERE
The other significance about November the 5th is that the movie V for Vendetta used the Guy Fawkes story as a part of the movie. V for Vendetta is a movie where the government has become oppressive and a the country is in a perpetual state of fear. The fear is a tool that the people in power of the government uses to enact policies for example nightly curfews, roving conversation monitoring and a government controlled media. A fairly well known statement in the movie is "People should not fear their governments, Governments should fear their people".
I was expecting a surge from this campaign but was shocked at the final numbers. I truly never thought that Ron Paul supporters would come out in mass and make a statement with their wallets. I will not make that mistake again I will always try keep a objective perspective but after today I will give the Ron Paul supporters more credit.

Republican Debate 10-21
I was watching the Republican debate and during Huckabee's first answer he said that most of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were clergy and according to the radicalacademy.com two of the signers were clergy and one was a active clergy member. 3 out of 56 is not most it is not even close.
Ron Paul pointed out that he is the truly anti-war candidate in either party. Ron also said he wanted to allow people to get out of the social security system and I would love to do that. I am in my late 20's and I know there won't be a social security when I get old enough to retire that is why I have a personal retirement account.
Romney said he is happy for the medical plan he created in Massachusetts. I was hearing a radio station from Mass and Hunter actually hit on the health care mandates that the plan. The mandates are that you have to have health care in Mass you are forced to do that even if you cant afford to pay for it.
Rudy made me vomit when he said "I care about the kids" then made me think if he does care about the kids where are his children from some of the things I have read his children don't even like him. Maybe Rudy just wants to replace his own kids.
McCain said he is against wasteful spending but if he was wouldn't he have voted against the spending? The only person that was on that stage who votes consistently against wasteful spending is Dr. No aka Ron Paul
Fred Thompson reminds me of a chicken going after feed.
I was trying to keep a tally of how many time each person got to speak and here is the results
Mitt "cowlick" Romney 9
Rudy "cell phone" Gulliani 8
Fred "I got a hot wife now" Thompson 8
John "war stories" McCain 7
Ron "Constitution" Paul 6
Mike "National Smoking ban" Huckabee 6
Tom "don't call me Tommy" Tancredo 4
Duncan "I but a wall" Hunter 4
I would think since no one in the Republican party is a running away they would want to try and be fair and balanced but who would think of a thing like that on Fox.

Michigan Debate
***********Warning Began drinking while writing this post***********
Ok I watched the Debate in Michigan. Wow I was screaming at the TV during some peoples answers. The worst performance goes to Hunter. John Popeye Mcain seemed like he was taking some naps when the questions were asked and needs to get a hearing aid he cant hear the questions.
The CNBC poll was taken down but before it was tossed in to the memory hole a person took a screen shot you can see here http://newhampshireunderground.com/forum/index.php?topic=11256.0
Also on the MSNBC poll with 6706 votes the people think Ron Paul won the debate at 63% the next closest is Huckabee at 8.7%
Ron Paul seemed to get less questions then most of the other people but I would have to watch it again and I don't think I am going to waste my time with that. Ron hit on the nail on the head with the monitary system. The Federal Reserve (which is a private company just like FedEx is a private company) is just keeping the US government in debt and in that system you can never pay the debit it is impossible mathematically. It can be easily explained with a scaled down situation. Lets say you want to borrow a widget from me and I have the only person that has a widget and I tell you I will loan you this widget but I want a widget and a second widget now I never make a second widget and put it in the market you can never get that 2nd widget and you can never pay the debit.
I will say Huckabee did a fine job in the debate I just don't like a man who is a hypocrite and Huckabee is a hypocrite he says he is pro life and I think that is a great thing but he also supports the death penalty. If you are pro life you should support life every time every situation. I can not say I am pro life because I think a person owns their own body and if they want to kill themselves with a knife, a bullet, a poison, or even with a drink of alcohol (while I sip my sparkling wine) they should be able to do that.
If you don't think you own your own body then please tell me who does?
I think Fred Thompson is useless without a script so he needs to go back to Law and Order. He defiantly showed he cannot go through with this by the huge pause he made when answering his first question I thought my TV was on mute but he was not talking just looking with his shifty wrinckled eyes. Romney and Gulianni are two sides of the same huge government Fascist coin and Tancrado is useless and I don't know why he is still there.

Donations for Ron Paul surpass 1 million dollars (Dr. Evil laugh)
Late last night September 29th at about 10:31 pm eastern the thermometer on Ron Paul's website http:\\www.RonPaul2008.com went over the $1,000,000 mark. I was interested and watching the counter went up by more then $4,000 in the last minute. The people have come out and gave Ron's campaign a million in less then 6 days which I think is pretty amazing since according to a e-mail that was sent out by the campaign the majority of the donations are between $5 and $100.
The thermometer flash program from the website which is picture above I believe helped out a ton because when people donated to the campaign they could see their own name flash on the screen and throughout the Internet. I liked watching it to see where the donations were coming from and as you can believe they came from all over from Maine to Florida from Washington to California from Huston to Saginaw. I even noticed people from around the Western NY area. I personally noticed Orchard Park NY, Rochester, and even Wattsburg PA.
After doing some math if people only donated the maximum $2300 that would mean that 435 people would have donated to the campaign to get to the million dollar amount. The thing I really wonder is how many people that donated to the Ron Paul campaign never donated to a political campaign before. I know personally I never handed my money to a politician before unless there was a threat of punishment if I did not hand over the money.
Will the main stream media pick this up?? I really doubt it they seem to do everything they can to ignore Dr. Paul and his campaign. The Ron Paul revolution is picking up speed soon it may be impossiable for the main stream media to ignore the support behind the principles this man.

All American Presidential Forum
I was watching the Presidential forum and thought the questions were very clear and intelligent. The questions were not softballs at all, they were intelligent and asked about some great topics. I thought that they should have not brought up the names of the 4 morons that did not attend that much.
During the introduction Ron Paul got a loud cheer and I think the directors were shocked about that the first time but did not make that mistake again. I noticed after every answer from Ron Paul the lowered the volume and then when they moved on to the next candidate they raised the volume. This was noticeable a few times because they moved on and raised the volume while the crowd was still cheering.
I was horrified when I heard Hunter say Americans need to be shielded from pornography. Where does he get the gall to say that I need to be shielded from anything let alone people having sex or even the naked human body. If someone does not want to see pornography guess what look away, walk away, and stay in your own little bubble.
I thought Keyes was long winded and Tavis Smiley was getting angry when he said Keyes's time was up and Keyes kept on talking. I do applaud Tavis Smiley for holding Hunters feet to the fire during the question about what reform he would support to make sure people had equal justice in the United States. Tavis seemed to verbally spank Hunter to get him back on point.
For some reason Huckabee thinks that crime is caused by drugs and alcohol cause crime and I was horrified during this answer. The saving grace was Ron Paul answering that the War on Drugs needs to be repealed.
Dr Paul was finally given a question on health care and pointed out the 400 pound gorilla in the room and the problem with health care is the corpritism between insurance companies and the government and the problem with the FDA controlling the drugs that people can use. Also Dr. Paul said a couple times that we need to end the war on drugs, get rid of the welfare, restore property rights, expanding liberty, and letting people keep the fruits of their labor.
Dr. Paul also pointed out the inequities that the War on Drugs has with black people. Ron also reiterated that he is against the National ID cards but would be fine with states requiring identification for people to vote and if Washington DC wanted representation in the House and Senate a constitutional amendment should be submitted to change the constitution.
Overall I think the time was fairly evenly distributed and was fair to all the candidates.

The 3rd Republican debate
OK I know I am a little late on this but hey I was in the hospital without my computer and Internet access. I was going though Internet withdrawal after the 1st night.
On to my thoughts. The winner of the debate was Ron Paul and that is not just a opinion but is what CNN's online poll said hands down. That poll does not mean anything really the only poll that means anything is on election day.
Dr Paul introduced himself as a congressman from Texas and "Champion of the Constitution" when I heard that tag line I was really shocked. But as I thought about it Ron is that in essence. During the debate I was disgusted with the camera work. The sound issues were understandable with the lightning that was going on but I am sure they could have used different mics and eliminated the sound dropping issue. OK enough with the technical stuff I think I would have noticed it less if I had a PC in front of me.
The best issue I thought that was brought up was what the question about what is the largest moral issue that is facing the United States and Dr Paul said it was the recently policy of preemptive war. I think preemptive war really isn't a new policy. You could definitely say Vietnam was a preemptive war and so was Korea. So that goes back to the 1950's. WWII was a little harder but the Japanese attack could because of the trade blockade and that blockade could be considered a military action. So that could be considered preemptive war that takes us back to 1940's. We could go further but that would take a lot of typing. But I do think that is a great answer to the question.
I would suggest if you have not seen the debate go watch and make up your own mind.

My retort to a video on youtube
I was looking around YouTube and found this video.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=7a2xHXP4Kn8
There were some things I wanted to correct from what I know personally these statements may be incorrect but I wanted to talk about some points and I could not do this in 500 characters or less.
First off the author Sonofnewo I think is the person in the video and he said that Ron Paul is pro-life when it comes to abortion. I believe Ron is pro-life and I think that can be backed up with some speeches but Ron Paul. Now Ron is also a constitutionalists and believes that the constitution is the supreme law of the land or should be and the 10th amendment says
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved for the States respectively, or to the people."
With that in mind Ron would have to support what the states or the people decided. If a state wanted to outlaw abortions within the boarders of the state they do have that ability as stated in the 10th amendment, and if a state did not have a law that power to perform abortions would be in the hands of the people. So what does all that mean is means Ron would not stop people from getting abortions he personally may think it is terrible but that is their choice. I know you are probably not going to believe me but I actually have no opinion on the subject of abortion I can see their would be problems created with both sides. I don't think I should have any opinion on this subject until my girlfriend or wife asks me for that opinion.
Second subject the author hit on was the Federal Reserve. I don't think Ron Paul would shut down the Federal reserve. Now wait you may be saying I heard him say that, yes you did but the Fed is a complex issue we need to differentiate between the Federal Reserve which is a private company that lends to the United States just like XYZ Bank may lend you money for a house the difference is the payment book when you get a payment book for your house it usually looks like a check book and has pieces of paper that you send in with your payment. Well the Fed's payment book is a little different they have multiple payment books some are never seen by the public and some are seen every day, the ones you are familiar with is the dollars you have in your wallet. Those are the representation of debt that the US government owes to the Fed so when someone says money you think of the green papers but nope that is actually debt.
With that little lesson on the Fed we need to talk about the Federal Reserve Act which is a law that was passed back in the early 20th century this act sets up a monopoly for the Federal Reserve.
What I believe Ron Paul is talking about is the Act he wants there to be competition for the currency in the United States if this came to pass there may be one currency everyone in the United States uses or there could be regional currency for example everyone on the west coast uses currency A and everyone in the middle of the country uses currency B and everyone on the east coast uses currency C. The author also said he thought that eliminating the Federal Reserve could have adverse effects on the economy in the US I think that these competing currencies are probably going to actually have something behind them with most of the currencies around the world they are not back by anything other then the promise of the government that is using that currency, if you look back through history that is a bad idea because all governments have fallen and history seems to repeat so I think that governments will keep on falling. If the currency is backed by something like gold or silver companies would be more likely to use that currency because if the bank does go belly up they will still have something that can be sold and they would not loose all their purchasing power.
Now this is just brief overlook and I would urge you to look in to this further I do not know everything about the Fed but this is my opinion using the knowledge I currently have.

There were some things I wanted to correct from what I know personally these statements may be incorrect but I wanted to talk about some points and I could not do this in 500 characters or less.
First off the author Sonofnewo I think is the person in the video and he said that Ron Paul is pro-life when it comes to abortion. I believe Ron is pro-life and I think that can be backed up with some speeches but Ron Paul. Now Ron is also a constitutionalists and believes that the constitution is the supreme law of the land or should be and the 10th amendment says
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved for the States respectively, or to the people."
With that in mind Ron would have to support what the states or the people decided. If a state wanted to outlaw abortions within the boarders of the state they do have that ability as stated in the 10th amendment, and if a state did not have a law that power to perform abortions would be in the hands of the people. So what does all that mean is means Ron would not stop people from getting abortions he personally may think it is terrible but that is their choice. I know you are probably not going to believe me but I actually have no opinion on the subject of abortion I can see their would be problems created with both sides. I don't think I should have any opinion on this subject until my girlfriend or wife asks me for that opinion.
Second subject the author hit on was the Federal Reserve. I don't think Ron Paul would shut down the Federal reserve. Now wait you may be saying I heard him say that, yes you did but the Fed is a complex issue we need to differentiate between the Federal Reserve which is a private company that lends to the United States just like XYZ Bank may lend you money for a house the difference is the payment book when you get a payment book for your house it usually looks like a check book and has pieces of paper that you send in with your payment. Well the Fed's payment book is a little different they have multiple payment books some are never seen by the public and some are seen every day, the ones you are familiar with is the dollars you have in your wallet. Those are the representation of debt that the US government owes to the Fed so when someone says money you think of the green papers but nope that is actually debt.
With that little lesson on the Fed we need to talk about the Federal Reserve Act which is a law that was passed back in the early 20th century this act sets up a monopoly for the Federal Reserve.

Ron Paul's coments during the 2nd republican debate
Afternoon everyone this is going to be a intellectual post so dust off a few brain cells and you may need to look some things up to verify everything I am communicating is true. With that said lets chew the fat.
First off this second debate had more substance but still the debate lacked interaction other then the segment I will call the shock heard around the world between Representative Ron Paul and Giuliani. First off you need to know where Dr. Paul is coming from if you are going to figure out where he is going with his answers. Dr. Paul is a strict constitutionalists which means if something is not written in the constitution or the amendments to the constitution it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL this is the true meaning. The way the government was set up was that the supreme court was supposed to say this is constitutional this is unconstitutional that has not been the case for a long time. If you understand those facts you should be able to figure out where Ron Paul was coming from.
Now lets get to Ron Paul's message why 9/11 occurred. He said that it was because of the governments policies not just in the Middle East but all around the world. I hate to break this to you but guess what it's true. The U.S. government has been screwing around with other countries and have been supporting dictatorships around the world. If you don't believe me look in to the US policies in the Middle East. Lets just look at Iraq, Saddam did come in to power without the help of the US government but he would have been outed long ago by the citizens of that country if the US did not supply him with money and weapons. In Iran the US has empowered the Shah in Iran and gave tons of support. Just these two examples should be enough to make people realize that maybe the US government did contribute to the 9/11 attacks not to mention the CIA was working with Bin Laden in Afghanistan. I will tell you there are more examples I could keep going on for pages but please look in to the history of what the US government has done.
I know this is tough to understand and even harder to swallow but sometimes the truth hurts but truth is always better then lies. Now on to the idea that the terrorist hate Americans because of the freedoms Americans have and coke and Britney Spears. This idea is the craziest thing I ever heard. Do Americans hate people in Amsterdam because they have the freedom to buy and consume marijuana? No why would Americans care about what the citizens in Amsterdam put in their bodies. The argument holds about as much water as a collender.
Now I have been praising Ron Paul but I think he is wrong on a couple of his ideas but I know where Ron Paul stands on issues and I will agree with Ron on most issues I will take that rather then taking a fascist or a socialist.

2nd republican presidential debate
Ok First off I think I was tripping I heard Brownback say we need to cherish all life but he supports to keep the war in Iraq going which results in deaths of both American soldiers and Iraqi people every day. He needs to stick with a principle and say with it you cant support a principle when you think it suits you.
I would have to say Ron Paul was definitely the most exciting candidate and no one can say he is just a carbon copy of the rest of the candidates. Ron was very candid he pointed out the real reason why the 9/11 hijackers targeted the United States. In case you missed it was because we have been fucking around with their countries for years and we still are. If the United States has a army which I think is unconstitutional except for 2 year stints but that is for another day. Also during the question about the hypothetical question about the terrorist attack I have to give props to Ron for pointing out the rest of the people on that stage wants to take away your rights or other if it does good for the collective.

ABC Censored my posts
I made a post on ABC's site last night with a link to my blog here because of the retort I wrote to their story on the "Ron Paul effect."My post was remove within a matter of minutes. I noticed the number of posts drop 10 total posts in 2 minutes. What did ABC expect when they publish a opinion piece on candidate for the office of president of these United States. I don't normally like any politicians but when a politician has proven himself by voting on principle year after year that makes me want to give that politician a extra glance. I actually met Ron Paul this winter in NH just before he announced he was going to run for president and he seemed to be like the NH granite not easily changed.
Back to ABC they brought the shit storm that is going to happen by pissing off a lot of people. I have seen blogs about the censoring of the posts even by people that out right support other presidential candidates. From what I can tell most American people like companies that they get services and products from to listen to the customer, you know the old saying the customer is always right. I do think ABC owns the servers and the code that runs on them and can do what ever they want with that property if they want to allow only racists comments they should be allowed to do that but they should not complain when people find out what they are doing and stop using their services and products. Personally I like the local ABC news channel but I am going to try and not tune in to the network I may break down watch John Stossel but it would have to be a interesting story.

Is Big Brother using the government as a puppet?
OK I guess I should relate my blog posts to the title of my blog.
This is not a conspiracy theory but something is not smelling right in Denmark. According to ABC article about the "Ron Paul Effect". From what I can get out of that article it sounds like ABC believes that the online poll at MSNBC was bogus and was manipulated. I personally voted at that poll and I know that I was only able to vote once so it appeared to me that the poll was not easily exploitable. I did not dig in and try to exploit it being a Information Technology professional I know there is always a way to change 1's and 0's. Back to the article they make a guess that a group of people or even 1 person could have manipulated the poll, like I said this is possible but you need to look at who would be behind this conspiracy and the group that is very vocal for Ron Paul is Libertarians and the mainstream media did any checking about libertarians they would find out that fraud is against the libertarian principles which is at the core of the beliefs. So thinking about that I am really questioning ABC's conspiracy.
Now if ABC is going to create a conspiracy they need to cover a few more bases. The conspiracy needs to have a leader saying libertarians is like saying black people. They need a reason why the group would do this i.e. money, power, or sex.
Lets talk about money? Libertarian's what to keep their money and be able to make profits by providing customers with a product or service.
Lets talk about power? Libertarian's want the people to have the power to choose for themselves what to do with their body, property, and time.
Lets talk about sex? This is just a insane idea that Ron Paul would get the group sex at all. Well maybe since libertarians think you can do with your body what you want as long as it is not hurting someone else there could be more group sex. <--- That was a joke
So saying that I can't see ABC's conspiracy getting any traction even with the American people listening to their "news" broadcasts. (I put "news" in quotations because I cant call something like Anna Nicole Smith's death news.)

GOP Debate - 08
Disclaimer - I am not a republican, I am not a democrat, nor affiliated with any other political party!!
Now to my thoughts. I was watching the GOP debate last night because it was commercial free and I was playing a computer game and wanted something to listen to. After the debate finally got started and Chris Mathews stopped explaining the rules to the audience. I got the feeling that all the people on the stage wanted to distance themselves from the current president.
The first time I stopped playing my game was when Congressman Ron Paul spoke for the first time he was asked about his vote against the Iraq war which was a inaccurate question because no matter how many times people say we are at war congress never declared war and congress has not declared war since WWII. Ron Paul got my attention and kept it for the entire time he was speaking actually when he finished his answer I was clapping my hands. Ron's answer to the question was straight to the point and displayed his thought process.
Some of my feelings from the other candidates is that McCain is a warmonger and Mathews gave him too much leeway and more questions then the other candidates. Huckabee has a face like Nixon but none of Nixon's charisma. The rest of the lineup seemed like they were all clones and they did not impress me at all and some made me ill.
I think Ron Paul was given a softball with the question asking if he would eliminate the IRS. Ron took that softball and hit it out of the park. Getting rid of the IRS is a issue that will resonate with every American and who wants to fill out the forms before April 15th. Ron said multiple times he is not in favor of the Iraq war and that the foreign policy needs to be changed. The US is not the police of the world and the US should not be.
The abortion item is a issue I personally do not have feelings about this has been my stance since I heard about the topic. I think I have no say what goes on in another person's body and I would like the same respect. I can see the argument from both sides but as I look at the issues that come up with the war on drugs I see what happens when the government prohibits something but I think if people in a town do not want abortions going on in their town they can make a law that says that but the people of the town will have to bear the responsibility. From what I have been able to find Ron Paul would not make a law prohibiting it but leave the decision up to the community as the 10th amendment says.
