I Now Support Ron Paul

For a while I have been basically ignoring the US election. I mean, why bother paying attention to it when it was more than a year away? What can these candidates possibly say or do different a year from now that they have not already done right now?

They can do nothing more than advertise themselves, and try to devalue their opponents.

Because of this, I really don't like the way the political system is at the moment.
To get back to my topic though. I have just watched the following video. In it Ron Paul destroys the idiot host, Neil Cavuto, with sheer force of logic.

From the look of things Faux News Invited Ron Paul onto the show in a guise of an interview about him not running a Christmas ad. Then, out of nowhere, Cavuto comes out with a little tid bit of information they wanted to use against Dr. Paul.

It seems that of the 58,000 people that donated over six million dollars, $500 of that was from a white supremasist that runs a hate site. Cavuto said he should give back the money...



... but Ron Paul simply turned him on his ear. I also fully agree with him. Why give back money to a person that would most likely use it toward goals that could harm people?

What more, his views on the sheer amount of money that are being funneled into getting rich off of war is staggering.

Did you know that in about 2003 Halliburton's stock price was relatively low? Dick Cheney also has a great deal of stock in their company as well, thanks to his history with them; He was the CEO of the company for five years, from 1995-2000, just in time to let go of the position, and become the vice president to a total and complete dumbass that is more of a court jester than he is a president.

Once the Afghanistan and Iraq invasions started, guess what company the executive branch decided to get services from. That's right, good ol' Halliburton! In two years his stock value soared more than %3,000, leaving him $8,000,000 richer.

But remember, there's no such thing as a free lunch, or in this case free money. No no, only cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.

I am always amazed at how well Ron Paul has been able to disguise his true nature and dupe liberals into thinking he is one of them. If it weren't for his wacky stance on the Bestest Little War in Iraq, I would like, him too. He is against all the bad things, gays, abortion, taxes, Negroes, and for all the best things, money, money, and money. Well at least when Mike Huckabee wins the nomination, there will be a place in Mike's campaign for Ron Paul as the new Karl Rove.

The enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend. A President may be able to end the war. No Presidential candidate, including Ron Paul, can single-handedly reign in corruption or restore Constitutional liberties. Ron Paul is the least likely to even try. His idea of restoring liberties is letting the state governments have complete control of your life and not letting the federal government say boo about it. His idea of ending corruption is removing all regulations -- nobody can be accused of breaking a law that doesn't exist!

If we want to end corruption and restore liberty, we have to do the work ourselves. Counting on a demagogue to do it for us has always been a losing proposition.

Just how much brain does it take to outsmart Neil Cavuto?
