I'd like to say that you all woke me up, but the fact is I couldn't sleep because of all the shit on my mind.
I never even heard of that Mitt whatever who took the top spot. But I do know the supposed top candidates did very poorly. With that in mind, let's examine the text poll thing, people are actually identified by their vote, and I really wonder how many of them know it.
This brings us up to another thing, I am starting to believe that the secret ballot should be eliminated. I believe a person should stand up for their choice, and having elected someone, have the right to say "Hey, I stood up for you ".
I have analyzed in my head what a Ron Paul Presidency would be like. Alot of you would not like it. Eventually taxes will go down, but not on industry, and we eventually pay that anyway. Interest will go up, and ythe President of the USA can do nothing about it.
There will be very little credit around and there will be new laws most likely protecting people from foreclosure by predatory lenders, but this cannot continue for long as it is not fair to them. YOU sdigned it that YUO would pay and you didn't. A Man such as Ron Paul will not bail you out of that. Most likely he would come up with a deal where you can stay for a time and find a new place. In his view, the government cannot negate a debt which was voluntatrily contracted into. By YOU by the way.
You know everybody LOVES the Constitution when it works for them, but it does not always. Most people want it both ways, that the Constitution ptrotects them from government, big business, terrorists, influenza and who knows what the fuck else. When it comes time to pay, many say "I don't owe them shit".
Well then where does the money come from ? They have to print more, it is that simple.
I would like to know if anyone around here could stomach a totally Constitutional society. I'll be totally honest with you. I don't really know that I can. I am damn close, I have never taken a handout from them and do not intend to. They send notices that I could get free paint for my house and all that, I have no interest whatsoever. I wish they would stop road construction, it really wasn't that bad, that's why they put springs on cars.
In other words, the costs for example for you to have water at your house, ALL of those costs are reflected in your water bill, not your property taxes.
There arfe many other examples, gasoline would be a different story. Right now the big companies have the right to do whatever they want, we do not. Under President Paul, this would change.
The first thing Paul would do is stop all disbursements to Haliburton, because they are no longer a US company. What he would do with Iraq, I don't even want to think about it. He might split Israel's share of US aid to them and rebuild it and try to be cool in the middle east. This would enrage the Israeli government and cause some more problems.
I would like to think tht Ron Paul is a realist, and that his dealing with China would be very careful. With the amount of Tbills and whatever they hold, they could wipe our economy out with the stroke of a pen. Saddam was about to do that, but we can't do to China what we did to Iraq.
President Paul would indeed be in some troubled times on the China issue. Of course Paul believes in the original princiiples of this country, but others have gotten us into so much shit, it is a gargantuan task. Looking into the eye of the Chinese leader(s) he would have to say "It is wrong for us to be borrowing so much money from you, we must correct this, hopefully without destroying our economies".
Paul is no dummy, he knows we are not getting out of this in five minutes. And the situation with alot of other countries, he might close around 50-60 military bases around the world. If there is a REAL need he might send them to Iraq, but it is not very likely. He would be likely to deploy them at the Mexican border. The standing army is prohibited by the Constitution, but on the border of the US they are not.
Yeah "This is my best advisor to date, Termy Nator, well he is on top of thing and has told me to tell you, first and foremost, that I cannot restore this country to Constitutional orde in five minutes"
As Commander In Chief of the military, he can bring our boys home from places like Germany, Italy, whatever. Stop pying the bills and let them shutdown. Offer them for sale to allies only. Get our troops back and eith finish Iraq or get out. One of the main things Paul would do I think is to reduce the national debt I think. Now I dunno what yall think, but this is a different issue than the trade deficit. This national debt is getting out of hand, and we will have years of paying even if we stopped spending right this second.
Thing is, things will indeed get worse for us for a time if Paul gets elected, but the longer we wait for a Man like hime, the worse it will be. Think about your bank going out of business "Shouldn't have gotten that direct deposit should I ?".
I would've voted for the guy even not seeing the debate (which I didn't). I know his record, I know enough to know how he is. We have a fundamental difference about abortion, but other than that, I have every faith in the Man possible. And he is going into an impossible job, but then maybe it's not quite 100% impossible.
I'll vote for him.
