Yeah, well he volunteered. He pandered to Congress and Administration that he would KISS EVERYBODY'S ASS to get the job... he's just another SELF-SERVING, MOFO ASSHOLE trying to line his own pocket while basking in the limelight of his public office.... at least as bad as Greenscam, if not worse... jury is out on this at this time.
Some of us would put our armour on and do the right thing. Others wouldn't. Unfortunately, elected politicians who fall into the first category are rare.
Damn straight about that! Way Back When, politicians went to Washington to "represent the best interests of America and the American people." HA! Now they go to line their own pockets, be an elected "big shot", and run roughshod over Americans' personal liberties. The Revolutionary War was fought against the tyranny of King George III... America NEEDS, NEEDS, another revolution against the totalitarianism of Big Brother and Socialism!!!! Screw the RepubliClowns and DemoCraps... Ron Paul is America's last hope!
I agree with you. I'd say you have a right to bitch. More than most. I'm a vet myself (9/11 era) and I can only imagine how much more pissed than I already I'd be if I had been around as long as you doing that kind of stuff. It's total bullshit and it needs to stop. In the America the Framers started, the people ALLOWED themselves to be governed. When the government starts oppressing the people, it's no longer AMERICA. I honestly and totally believe that Ron Paul is the only hope we have. I don't think this country can stand another 4-8 years without some serious shit popping off.
I made a post yesterday saying that for us to have someone like Ron Paul be elected is nothing more than a pipe dream for us responsible citizens. The majority of Americans are complete idiots and in massive debt....and the only way you'll get elected is if you cater to them, as they are the vast majority. It all comes back to the people ALLOWING themselves to be governed. The government should fear the people, not the other way around. I know it's kind of silly but I was named after Nathan Hale and I was raised in a family that always upheld the values of those Patriots that made this country what it is. I am thankful to have had a family that emphasized the same mindset that brought this country to the top of the food chain. Just like the core values Honor Courage Commitment, those aren't just for the military. These are for all Citizens. It is just absolute bullshit to see things the way they are these days and no one gives a shit.
It's not implausible to think Ron Paul could get both nominated and elected if people at the grass roots level start spreading the word now. There's not much that could stop him once word gets out regarding his views. The American People are very angry right now. The hate the Bush Administration AND Congress. Extraordinary inflation in everyday necessities, job insecurities, a broken health care system, concern over pensions and retirement benefits, ridiculous U.S. foreign policy, and a free falling U.S. dollar are just some of the major issues creating real politik anger. It's time to extinguish the two party Ogilopoly - now. The American People are ready. *Ron Paul is running as a Republican, but he's anything but. Thank God for that.
I know my household is voting for Ron Paul. It just sucks that Pat Robertson just endorsed Rudy because there are many of the Republican crowd that are ultra religious and will blindly support him just because of that... Just like many black people would support a candidate just because Al Sharpton endorsed him (or her). Not trying to be racist, but the facts speak for themselves.
