I'm no authority figure on politics. There's guys on ET who really know their political stuff. I can name more NFL players than members of Congress. Trading? I can count on one hand the folks here who know more than me. Not to say any of that is what makes me money....but it's been an interesting last couple of months.
Ron sounds very promising indeed. But what is his foreign policy? That there is no foreign policy? Will he let the mullahs build nukes? And anyone else too? What is the libertarian solution to evil states and mad dictators?
Doc, it's YOU who rules in the outside the box thinking. When I disagree with you bro, I immediately rethink the effects from the Kool-Aid I've been drinking.

Dude needs a lot of practice reading cue cards... Dude also needs to blink once in a while....geez. I watched this video a couple of times, and damn, if he didn't remind me of the robotic mechanical Abe Lincoln at DisneyLand back in the 60's... http://images.google.com/imgres?img...coln+disneyland&svnum=100&hl=en&safe=off&sa=N
FYI - I couldn't give a rats piss about your failed career in State politics. When you lost, some other schmuck with the EXACT same platform stood up and took the seat. You represent the Status Quo in political thought which handily explains why you're unfit for public office.
IV. Foreign Affairs American foreign policy should seek an America at peace with the world and the defense -- against attack from abroad -- of the lives, liberty, and property of the American people on American soil. Provision of such defense must respect the individual rights of people everywhere. The principle of non-intervention should guide relationships between governments. The United States government should return to the historic libertarian tradition of avoiding entangling alliances, abstaining totally from foreign quarrels and imperialist adventures, and recognizing the right to unrestricted trade, travel, and immigration. http://www.lp.org/issues/platform_all.shtml Basically stated. You leave us alone we do the same. You start some static. Then we stomp you`re brains out. If we spent 1/32 the money on true homeland defense that we have wasted in Iraq the threat of another large terrorist attack at home would be non-existent.
