Ron Paul...Ugh, will he ever grow up?

Most dont support Obama and Paul at the same time ,we just support Obama over Mccain,Palin,Bush,Cheney,Limbaugh,Steel etc

 

I would venture to say that 90% of people under 30 voted for Ron Paul or Obama. I am 25. I’ll admit I used to be a typical Republican, but not anymore. I don’t agree with everything he says, but I think he sort of recognizes how young people are getting shafted nowadays.

When I have stated around here that it was much easier for baby boomers to get ahead 30 years ago than the youth of today, I am frequently called a Socialist, Communist, lazy, not willing to put the effort in, etc. But then I ask a simple question. OK I admit I am so lazy and am not where I’d like to be simply because I didn’t “want it” enough. But then you must know some people under 30 that are doing good because of hard work. So please give me the names of at least 10 people that you know under the age of 30 who own their own home, put 10% down, and can comfortably afford it. It’s funny how when you actually ask people to back up their statements, they change the subject, critisize your post, or abandon that thread. I have so far gotten one person who says that they know somebody under 30 like this. It was his daughter who moved to Iowa so they could afford a 70k house. I personally know 1 person and I just found out this persons business was just cut in half and their house is now going into foreclosure.

Republicans are blind to this fact and they are rightly being kicked out of office. Ron Paul recognizes that among other things, this country has lived on a credit card for the past 30 years and left the bill to the youth.

 

I don't understand how you can put Ron Paul and Obama in the

same league. One is a libertarian conservative.......the other a

socialist, if not an outright fascist.

 

Both try to help out the little guy. One the right way, one the wrong way. I say it’s better to recognize the problem and have the wrong solution than to be completely ignorant and blind to it in the first place.

 

Not if it means more gov't control.

 

Gigsup... I posted this earlier

Obama and Ron Paul are similar in their social views. For the younger electorate, they may view social issues more important than taxes and government spending.

Financially (and relevant to your socialist comment) Ron Paul and Obama are world's apart.

Oh my gosh what a typical stupid Republican response. You’d much rather have the big rich multinational corporations and the Fed control everything than God forbid the government step in and set some rules. Credit cards jacking the interest rates to 25% on people with perfect payment history, oh no we don’t want any government control of that. Reckless mortgage company’s, oh no that’s the free market, we can’t mess with that. Why don’t you stop listening to Sean Hannity with all your little textbook market theory’s and get back into the real world for a change?

 

Bush surely was against big government... he certainly did not expand it during his time in office... it's not like he extended federal programs or massively increased the budget deficit.
