Ron Paul easily.

He gave a perfect answer to Brian Williams saying "well dont we need govt to protect us from evil drug companies who will hurt us w/o federal protection etc", which is something that the media and most people in general blindly take as absolute truth.  Paul basically said that the govt doesnt do a good job anyway, so the idea that they have to protect us is BS, and its costing us money b/c companies go overseas etc.

With lobbyists controlling congressmen who write these supposed protective laws, how are we being "protected"?  This is how the game really works, but its way easier to blame "evil companies" and people like whats easy to believe most of the time.  Meanwhile our govt is becoming the "evil company" that people are so afraid of.

I think perry physically going after paul will help paul in the primaries too.

I only saw 2 candidates at the debate, so I don't see how anyone but Perry or Romney could of won.

seems like the 'global financial system' is on the brink of cracking again, especially in regards to the Euro zone. expect some big announcements to do with money printing/debt restructuring in the next couple of weeks and the potential, long overdue default for Greece.

US are already going for broke with a new stimulus plan, makes me laugh

People here seriously look at the govt to do everything, and politicians who want to cut and save, are "evil"

In 100 years, people will look back on us in disbelief

Its nuts, I posted a topic about the 30 million dollar taxpayer funded DREAM act that california is implementing for illegal immigrant students, all so these politicians can pander to hispanic voters.  We are literally a broke ass state, but then they go do this.  Its beyond any reasoning I can imagine.

Between the war hawks and diversity promoting retards, we are gonna be in deep shit if someone electable doesnt come along and initiate real change

Its too bad more people dont understand the message of people like ron paul

ron paul stands for integrity and shrinking a lot of government. that's such a huge difference, a 'radical' position for most people to get their head around. it's also crucial to have someone who has a level of honesty in there. obama was so obviously not the dude from very early in his original campaign. it was the ultimate doubletalk with the media feeding into it. lots of profit from milking people a while longer. there's a lot of honesty to be given and accepted to and by the people and right now its peak denial.

definitely. i think you already are in deep shit regardless. but someone has to come along and level with people first and have some type of productive long term plan, away from shuffling paper and initiating wars. gonna be some short term pain for sure, it's just whether it desends into a total top down economy, leading to socialism/fascism, or something different and more future minded. there needs to be a new emphasis and the dealing with the 'debt'/monetary system problems/parasites immediately.

ideally you'd want to replace almost the entire government at all levels. maybe not realistic but its as corrupt as many others in the world. the way its funded and occupied by corporations, mainly banks, should make it obvious.
