There is nothing wrong with getting rid of the CIA, which is a terrorist organization. It doesnt do anything productive and has gotten us into all sorts of trouble. 9/11 can be blamed squarely on CIA operations in 1953 and the 1980s. They havent ever done one good thing to advance this country. You sound like a perfect fit for the Republican Party, as a neocon. Im sure you even put z303 in his place by out-neoconning him.

The Federal Reserve caused the Great Depression and the current recession and has destroyed the lower classes with its excessive money printing and interest rate dickering. You need to do some research, good sir. And you can start here: http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/10-things-that-every-american-should-know-about-the-federal-reserve

Ron Paul does not support a gold standard. You are clearly a mindless zombified product of the media, because any simpleton with googling skills would know that Ron Paul supports free banking and currency competition. It is thought that this would result in gold and silver-based currency. He supports no standard, whether debt-backed or gold-backed.

He has repeatedly denounced them and you are just proving your mindlessness even more. Time to shutoff CNN and MSNBC, James. And they are a minor part of his base really, but theyre quite vocal. Go watch Bill Maher. Of course youd probably think that one incident makes Bill a truther too.

Good, half the country agrees with that. There is an over one trillion dollar budget deficit that was created by Bush and exacerbated by Obama. There is no reason for the Federal Government to be so bloated. Billions upon billions are wasted on all sorts of useless stuff like blowing up countries, turtle tunnels (and I sure love turtles), and imposing idiotic one size fits all standards on every public school in the country. If the budget were cut by that much, the economy would improve significantly.

Good, those treaties abrogate our rights. Go read about ACTA, sweet feet.

I think you need your head examined. Too much fertilizer and pesticides have stifled your brain capacity.

No you cant figure out anything about Romney. He goes with the tide. You worry about the State Dept? Romney looks very manipulatable. We have no idea what Romney will show up in the White House. Same with Gingrich, who has no principles at all.

Santorum has his own whole heap of problems, but hes marginally better than those too opportunistic goons. In any case, he helps us probably by remaining in there.

He will improve relations with other countries, but in no way at anyones expense. His focus will be allowing trade with anyone who wants to trade. He will end the embargo with Cuba and let natural events bring down the Castros. This doesnt mean he will engage with Iran or Cuba or Hamas and conspire to destroy Israel. Thats not how he works. All he will do is allow trade and work on bringing the troops home and dealing with issues here.

You absolutely can take politicians on face value if they have something backing it up. Ron Pauls friends and enemies agree on one thing: hes consistent. Why would this suddenly change?

He has a greater chance than you think. Becoming the nominee is a delegates game. He is thought to have secretly won most delegates in Iowa because Santorum, et al had no campaign operations. Ron Paul supporters volunteered to be Santorum, et al delegates. SC and FL are Winner takes all, so he didnt really bother, but the caucuses are coming up and word on the street is that hes already winning the Maine caucuses. No one but Romney had the money to campaign in any of these states and Romney isnt really campaigning there. Hes been in SC and FL.

Hes similar to Ross Perot, and something Americans increasingly want. The meme was always “Ron Paul has that eternal 5% support”. Then it became 8%, then 10%, now its 12-4%, and knocking on 15-20%. The RPs speak sense, but the media and status quo doesnt want to hear it, so they scare you with bullshit like “Hes crazy” and “Hes antiIsrael”.

Romney may have moved with the political currents, but one can pretty much figure out his range. Paul and Gingrich (to a lesser extent) could do anything.

Of course, I’ll vote for Santorum if he’s still in there.

Anyhow, Juvanya, this is all theoretical, because his chances of presidential candidacy, let alone becoming president, are miniscule. He’s a Ross Perot rerun, nothing more.
