Ron Paul – A True Conservative
A great disservice was done to the American people this election season. The presidential debates were a joke. Again the media darlings are the ones being showcased, while the candidates who speak out and tell the truth are the ones being ostracized. A perfect example was the handling of the GOP debates. Anderson Cooper of CNN was rude and curt with Ron Paul every time the opportunity for Dr. Paul to speak came up.
How is a candidate to get his message to the people today if the media refused to give them equal time? It is manipulation of information at the highest levels and we’ve seen it first hand this election cycle. I normally lean a to the left on social issues and the right on fiscal. But this so called conservative GOP administration we have in office right now is the most fiscally irresponsible crew we’ve ever had in office. In the name of conservatism they have built the largest government bureaucracies in American history. Instead of shrinking government and its influence in our lives we have been strangled by it. Starting with “free speech zones” and ending with the “Patriot Act” Americans are now the most censored people on the planet. All in the name of National Security. Bullshit.
This administration talks conservatism, but they practice a borrow and spend policy that is going to doom our children and grandchildren to enormous financial burdens for decades. It is time we listen to people like Dr. Paul. Abolish the IRS, make government pay its own way. Hell don’t these Washington politicians make enough off the special interests and lobbyist as it is, why do we need to subsidise them with tax dollars. Tax dollars they send to countries who hate us. Tax dollars they spend to kill and maim our children and those of other countries. Tax dollars better spent improving our way of life instead of lining the pockets of big business CEOs and enemy states.
It is a shame more people weren’t given the opportunity to hear Dr. Ron Paul’s message. If you haven’t figured it out, Da Frog is a Libertarian and Ron Paul is talking the Libertarian philosophy. The GOP isn’t conservative enough. Dr. Paul says it like it is, fiscal conservativism and personal liberty is what we need.
Keep shoving the message in the GOP’s face. The RINOs will eventually move back to the democratic party.
Steven, I honestly believe that the GOP has lost touch with their core philosophy. It was not that long ago that they really advocated less government and more personal responsibility. Today they have spawned the largest bureaucratic nightmare in American history. They are more interested in snooping in our private lives and abridging our rights than they are in getting the job done.
I don’t know where these RINOs came from, but I do wish they’d go back. Oh, and believe me, I have every intention of letting them know their present course is catastrophic.
