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.

Well, the enemy of your enemy is still better than the friend of your enemy, I would have to say. I think that Ron Paul would at least be a start in the direction of restoring our constitutional rights and privacy. He seems like the sort that would go after the telecom industry for their role in spying on innocent Americans. He seems like the sort that would call Halliburton on their role in profiteering from war. He seems like the sort that may actually push to have charges filed against the people that are responsible for hundreds of thousands of peoples' deaths.
And of course no one person can possibly end the horrible corruption that exists in our government today, but he sounds like he would at least start us in that direction.
The current system of economics that we've been led down started decades ago. That system being obscenely rich people tricking just about everyone into putting themselves into so much debt, and raising the cost of everything so high, that they have to work themselves to death just in the hope of breaking even before they die.

To get back to the point, it is going to take more than the work of just an elected official to get this country of ours back of track. The of the biggest things we need right now is to get our budget crisis back in order, and the only way that is going to happen is if we stop dumping hundreds of billions of dollars into a war we have no right or need to be in, and start concentrating on getting things here, in the US, back into shape.

Also, if you have a better candidate, I would really appreciate hearing your reason behind choosing them, as I would like to make an informed decision about who I choose. Election day is still months and months away, so any info that I get between now and then very well may sway my vote.

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

About as much brain power as a squirrel that likes to run in front of cars, but that's not really the point, now, is it? I just find it very amusing that he brought Ron Paul onto his show for the sole purpose of calling him on accepting a donation from a very outspoken racist, only to be turned on his ear.

That's just the sort of thing I find funny. :)
Oh yes, and yay chocolate!
