they're both cut from the same cloth.

perry or romney=same, same, same old policies, same old promises.

we need substantial change in dc, neither will give it to us.

perry has no national record. we don't really know him.

ron paul is the only one who has consistently gotten economic issues right. for decades. and he was right about the wars.

the media will demonize him from both sides. he is principled, grounded in history and intelligent.

the media will make sure he is seen as the devil incarnate. but if you look at his policies, you will see that he is clearly the superior candidate.

we need to eliminate the Fed, as Paul proposes. for years, we did fine without a central bank. since its inception, the Fed has done a tremendous amount of harm. and it is a thoroughly independent agency in charge of our currency, accountable to no one. simply put, if greenspan and bernanke had not turned the money spigots to max, we wouldn't be where we are.

if the treasury were in charge of the currency, as the Founders intended, there would be accountability and checks and balances on its actions. as things stand, the most important financial function a federal government has, the issuance and control of currency, is outsourced to an unaccountable Fed.

that's crazy, probably unlawful, and a source of serious problems.

not an issue that mainstream pols, like perry and romney, dare touch.

too bad that paul is old, uncharismatic and has bad hair.

Paul is the only candidate who dares to question this.
