I voted for Paul in my primary. While I'd love to see him win, I'm also a realist. I'll take McCain over Billary or Obama. If nothing else, I'd rather see gridlock (Republican Pres. and Democrat majority in House/Senate) than have Clinton or (especially) Obama team up with Nazi Pelosi and her cronies.
Unfortunately, a McCain win is the best we're likely to get. (While the DemoCraps control both houses, they don't have a veto-proof majority, right?)
That's good for the economy. Give the poor some money they can spent by taking it away from the super rich. The poor will spent the money and the rich will not consume less. So total consumption will rise.
I respectfully disagree. McCain with a democratic congress will yield significantly different results than Obama and a Democratic controlled congress. As for Ron Paul, I strongly supported him both here on ET and in the real world with real $ until it became obvious that McCain was the nominee. You can't argue with simple math, well maybe you can but i can't As far as Ron Paul's fiscal and libertarian message goes I hope he will use his war chest and his voice, especially at the convention, to keep those issues front and center so that McCain is forced to address them and educate himself about why so many are so passionate about Ron Paul's economic message. He will need to if he is going to give himself the best chance at being elected, he needs Ron Paul supporters to work and vote for him. Trying to ignore him and sweep him under the rug would be an unfortunate mistake.
John McCain doesn't have a clue. He actually said in one debate that he thinks interest rates should be set to zero and left there. He was a great man, but now he is just a puppet.
