Rick Perry- An idiot who says there is a war on religion, { Which is really just trying to improve separation of church and state} says that we need Christian values... directly after talking about the war on religion, because you know forcing everyone to be a christian is not a war on religion... hates gay marriage, hates abortion, and mostly wants to control everything you do on the internet and in your everyday life to christian ways... Rick Santorum- Equally or more retarded than Rick Perry, against gay marriage, against abortion, wants to HIGHLY censor the internet... because Jesus does not like what we do on it.... { He wants to bann porn } Thinks that thinking kids should go to college is trying to control them... Thinks that parents that are in PRISON are better parents than homosexual parents, openly says that he believes NO ONE in America dies because of lack of health insurance, blames priests raping little boys on liberals, compares gay marriage to 9/11, wants to declare war on Iran, and.... Christian Values. Michelle Bachmann- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9bvreW08X0 I am not even sure what she believes... I think she just lives in her own little world... Mitt Romney- Stupid Rich asshole... " Job Creator", Somehow converted a dead man to Mormonism... Banned guns as Governor, and believes in whatever gets him votes. If pro choice gets you votes, he is pro choice, if pro life gets you votes... he is pro life. He is a racist, believes authority should have the right to torture people in investigations, blah blah, gay rights, abortions, christian values, blah blah... Newt Gingrich- Thinks that asking questions about the bigotry that occurs because of religion is christian bigotry... blah blah, christian bullshit, abortion is wrong, gay rights is bad, blah blah. Ron Paul- The only guy running who believes religion should be religion, and should not affect politics. He may believe that abortion should be illegal, but he does not believe it because Jesus might not like it... He actually focuses on the problems of the country and wants to help solve them, does not want to censor the internet, and is not against gay marriage. Out of the presidential candidates we have ONE who is not a religious retard... and i doubt he is going to even get close to winning... Are we fucked? I mean... i think i would be a better president... and i am not even old enough to drink yet. |

Being a politician isn't meant to help the people. No, no. The position of power is to never provide help for the greater good. It's the position where you can fuck everyone over and do what you want simply to favour yourself (be it their self-righteous beliefs, status, power etc). Hence, US was fucked to begin with. We're all fucked. Politicians who're actually good don't get sponsored and liked by the public. They don't get liked by big corporates to fund the candidates intellect because it might go against their interests. Good luck everyone. We're all fucked. |

Ron Paul would be worse than any of the candidates who are running. He'd be worse than another 40 years of W. And he is against gay marriage. He supports DOMA, the Marriage Protection Act, the We the People Act.... |

Agreed Ron Paul's TOTAl isolation foreign policy is also insane. Yeah leaving the WTO, IMF and even the United Nations, would be a great way to freely trade with the whole world... Sure the world would not be pissed at all and would love to trade with America then... Not to mention getting rid of the IRS and the FED, is also totally reasonable and not insane at all... Really regardless how much you love the free market and non-interventiolism, you have to accept as a SANE person that America cannot in this globalized world start to behave like a total egoistical asshole and at the same time expect that everyone would be willing to trade with them. Going back to the gold standard in a globalized economy with the Dollar as the leading currency in the world, is also insane. It is also ridiculous to think that a developed country can function without a federal level agency responsible to collect taxes. For me these guys are delusional and retarded... |

The Truth
|
I like Ron Paul. I donated $25 to him and bought a sweatshirt from his site. I guess I find his love for the country and the constitution contagious. He's very passionate and isn't another bank-bought puppet. I can't say I'm familiar with politics, so I don't know how "crazy" some of his ideas may be. I like his idea of ending the FED, coming home and end the fucking war-mongering and propaganda, his love of the Constitution and his plan to eliminate the Patriot Act and any internet bills, and his plan to cut $1 Trillion in his first year. Like I said, I'm not exactly knowledgeable in the field of politics, but I like what I see in him. At least he isn't a slave of the special interests. |

His plans are incredibly crazy. He doesn't give a fuck about the Constitution or this country. Hope you think it's okay for blacks to be denied service at stores/restaurants, that segregated schools are okay, and that its constitutional for police to torture you. Why? Because Ron Paul does. He also thinks separation of church and state does not exist. |

Another point why he is insane. Radical measurements have radical and always bad outcomes. Look at Greece and see what happens when a country makes HUGE budget cuts all of the sudden. It leads to a longlasting depression and social unrest, because all the jobs and social programs that would be lost could not be replaced immediately with precious jobs from the private sector. Sorry basic economics do no work that way... The financial crisis was caused by the bankruptcy of just one fairly important bank. Currently the possible bankruptcy of an insignificant country like Greece is also threatening the world economy. The world economy is very fragile. Now you do not have to be genius to know that if America starts saving money like crazy all of the sudden, this would cause an immediate huge blow to the American economy as well. That would have severe impacts on the world economy never seen before on this planet. When the world economy would start to recover, I'm pretty sure that the rest of the world not be really thankful towards the yankees for causing this chaos. That in addition to Paul's brilliant plans to leave the UN among all other international organization, would sure as hell make the rest of the world reconsider their economic relationships with the States. Since all the major economic powers on this planet do not entirely depend anymore on America due to the rise of the BRICS countries, America would be fucked permanently. Ron Paul would then be considered as one of the worst leaders in the history of the human race. Edited by PoodieCore, 20 Feb 2012, 02:38 PM.

"How about getting rid of the Department of Education and Department of Agriculture. Just go down the list. Get rid of it. Cut the budget in half. Everything that's not constitutional. That's a good place to start." "Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the `criminal justice system,' I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal." "I miss the closet. Homosexuals, not to speak of the rest of society, were far better off when social pressure forced them to hide their activities. They could also not be as promiscuous. Is it any wonder the AIDS epidemic started after they 'came out of the closet,' and started hyper-promiscuous sodomy?" "[AIDS sufferers] enjoy the attention and pity that comes with being sick." "Order was only restored in L.A. when it came time for the blacks to pick up their welfare checks." Ron Paul is a crazy lolatarian fucktard who will probably die of a heart attack whilst in office anyway. |

I hope you did not get those quotes from the fake writings made that after a couple years everyone thought was actually Ron Paul. Have you not seen his videos from this year? He says that marriage is religion and should not be affected by politics. He may not be with gay marriage, but he is not against it in his politics. What i like about Ron Paul is he actually believes what he says, and he is not one of the other fucktards who ask Jesus what to do before they sign a bill or pass a law... I would love Ron Paul as president, and even if for some reason he might be a bad president, he would still be WAY better than any of the other fucktards. Plus, even if he was just as bad as the other candidates, that just shows that we are more fucked than I thought... Edited by Dolerbom, 20 Feb 2012, 05:07 PM.

Those writings are not fake. He actually wrote them. And again, how can you argue he isn't against gay marriage? He fucking votes to make sure it can't happen. He's also DIRECTLY SAID that separation of church and state ... DOES NOT EXIST. |

"I hope you did not get those quotes from the fake writings made that after a couple years everyone thought was actually Ron Paul" Ron Paul said he was careless about what was going in his own newsletter. Doesn't that mean it was his own newsletter? |

I sure hope that this is hyperbole. Even the worst possible educated interpretation of Ron Paul he'd still be better than motherfucking Santorum. Santorum would do everything in his power to ban porn, to ban gay marriage, to go to war with Iran and all sorts of absolutely insane shit.
A minor correction here. He didn't write those things in his newsletter he just didn't edit them out. |

Not fucked, but certainly not any better off. If any of those candidates other than Romney or Paul wins, we will be fucked. Of course, none of the other candidates have a chance in hell of winning. Before you say "Oh, but Romney is a mormontard bigot!" let me point something out: He's a middle-right candidate from what I've seen. He's not an ultra conservative, that's why the far right doesn't want him. Yeah, he's a social conservative, but he's not much worse than Bush was in that department (then again, that's pretty bad.) Ron Paul: He'd do a lot of very good things and a lot of very bad things. He's kind of hard to measure. He's anti-same-sex-marriage, anti-abortion, etc., but he wouldn't ban these things either, if my understanding of his platform is correct. He thinks they are a state matter and that the federal government should butt out. In some ways making marriage a state matter would be better, but in abortion it would be worse. Auditing the damn federal reserve would probably be a good idea. I'd still rather have Obama than any of these others. In fact, I believe that Obama will probably become more progressive in his second term, and if my predictions of the congressional elections are accurate, he will have an easy time implementing his ideas. |

I still have to disagree with you on that, Obama is either dumb,complicit or just flat out weak. It might be even worse than this time because people on the left have nothing to hold against Obama to make him be progressive while the banks and big business still has money. Another thing that makes me think Obama is not playing chess is the fact that he didnt even go to the people. If he was really playing chess that would have checkmate. Honestly if I had to pick one guy to win it would probably be one of the third party candidates. The Young Turks had a few on their current TV show and one seemed pretty good on basically everything.
