Tystick Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I visited his campaign website and many of his ideals were reasonable, except for gun regulation. Its sad how this is the first time I've heard of him, yet nut-jobs like Herman Cain, Bachmann, Perry, Santorum, Gingrich have all gotten huge coverage over the course of campaigning.

woot Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 To be completely honest, for me it would be a tough call if I had to pick between the two. Romney comes off as a raving lunatic much of the time, but his record as governor of Mass. is solid economically and I hope some of his socially conservative preaching is just rabble-rousing. On the other hand, we can trust Obama not to outlaw abortion, etc, but he has shown a systematic inability to deal with the Republican congress or manage the deficit responsibly. If I were an American, I would vote for Ron Paul; if I had to choose between the major party leaders, I would probably vote for Obama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrels.Gone.Wild Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Gary Johnson. His beliefs are the closest to my own and I suggest anyone else google the guy and be astounded that independents like him are out there but the main parties continue to offer Americans more of the same crap.

Trelane42 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 /\/\ Quite right. Financial collapse is a mathematical certainty and US will not be alone in experiencing it. When is the only unknown. How many more creative ways to go for Obama (or Romney) to capitalize the banks at the the expense of taxpayers? Point 1: Believing there are meaningful differences between the major governing parties in US or Canada is suggestive of a politically immature mind. On the truly important issues like immigration, wars, central banking, free trade (otherwise known as transferring manufacturing to the 3rd world) and restricting domestic freedoms the so-called right and left are one and the same. Such few differences as there may be are usually confined to pre election rhetoric and when there is a ‘change’ in power it is still business as usual, media dressing notwithstanding. Speaking from a strict (proper) interpretation of the US constitution nearly every sitting president beginning with Woodrow Wilson ought to have been tried, convicted, and shot for treason. Point 2: Believing that casting a vote for the magic, affirmative action man is evidence of superior intelligence, as frequently suggested in the other thread, is naïve in the extreme. Here is something gentle to get you started and be sure to scroll down far enough to see what an IQ weighed election would yield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Ambien Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Deficit was never the issue, always borrow in times of financial hurt. Not raising the debt ceiling, that sound more like your people - which was btw the real reason you defaulted. The two you aforementioned wouldn't cut defense spending or tax the rich, so explain to me how you cut the deficit when you don't have a revenue stream?

etsen3 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Obama, but I'd rather just not vote at all or vote for Ron Paul. Neither seems to have the balls to fix the real issues in that country. The problem is with the government itself. Wars, corruption, loss of basic rights etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
