I agree. The last thing American voters will consider is another Texan Republican, whether this attitude is justified or not. The GOP may not regain their former stranglehold on the working American for at least a generation. Ron Paul may be the exception, I don't know his voting record, but the majority of them voted in lockstep with the neocons and now we're supposed to get amnesia and trust them again.

Why bother switching parties when there is no difference, especially in monetary and foreign policy ? wg

I actually like the way Ron Paul and the revolution is trying to take back the Republican Party from the fascist totalitarian Nazi NWO neo-cons. I'd really like to see them booted and restore the Republican party to what it once was. The Neo-con Republicans can then form their own party and call it what it really is...... .....the Nazi Party. Rogue

Its too bad Ron Paul would not switch Parties. Why switch parties? He is what he is..... and the Republican party will certainly not support him. That is where you and I come in. It is up to us "we the people" to show a little intestinal fortitude. He may not be the perfect candidate for everyone's taste, but he is head and shoulders above the others in character, honesty, and principles. Something sorely lacking in the politicians running for office and in Congress today. It's time for real change...not the false promises and lies offered by those in either party. www.ronpaul2008.com www.ronpaullibrary.org Opportunities abound with the good doctor...his latest statement: December 10, 2007 8:52 am EST Unfair death tax stifles economic prosperity, threatens family farms ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – While many members of Congress have wavered on the issue, Ron Paul has always stood firm in advocating the permanent repeal of the unpopular death tax on estates and multi-generational gifts. In support of repealing the death tax, Dr. Paul stated: “It is troubling to me that this country is chasing away wealth, while entitlements recklessly grow. The power to tax is the power to destroy, and we are making strides towards destroying prosperity but expanding the welfare state. This is a dangerous and untenable trend.” Ron Paul voted "yes" on H.R. 8, a bill that would stop the federal government from collecting $185.5 billion in death taxes over 10 years and would fully repeal the so-called “estate tax” by 2011. Congressman Paul has also introduced the Liberty Amendment, H.J. Res. 23, in Congress. This constitutional amendment would repeal the 16th Amendment, and permanently end all personal income, estate, and gift taxes. Dr. Paul’s insistence on ending the death tax would benefit states with large agricultural sectors such as Iowa. In many cases, family farms are reluctantly sold after an owner’s death, because family heirs were unable to pay large estate taxes. The burden has led to the destruction of family farms and business across the United States. “The death tax is an unfair and unconstitutional form of double taxation,” stated Ron Paul 2008 campaign chairman Kent Snyder. “The incomes of Americans are already unfairly taxed throughout their working lives. Dr. Paul has an unmatched record of opposing taxes on hard-working Americans, and ending the death tax is no exception.”
