Claude, no disrespect, but I consider Ron Paul a complete whack job. His ideas are unrealistic. Crazy in fact. We cannot function without a government. And he voted against giving Rosa Parks a medal. Only person in congress to do so. Voting against giving Rosa Parks a medal shows one of two things: Either he is a racist, or he is nut job. No rational person, or person of conscience, would vote agaisnt giving Rosa Parks a medal. And yes, that is a big deal. I have heard "rumors" there are racist comments in his background. >> However, I am not (and you should not) be very happy that the majority of the people constantly vote for more government interventions, which implies, less individual freedom and less individual responsibilities. I think they should have vote for Ron Paul.<<

Right on, Claude, right on. But its useless. Koan takes up far too much bandwidth with his socialistic claptrap.

I think they should have vote for Ron Paul. To what end? Paul, like Kucinich, represents a narrow political view that would have been totally unable to achieve anything in the Congress. As such, he would have been powerless to effect change or legislation of the things he advocates. Obama will go much further in accomplishing the ends that Paul was advocating than he, Paul, ever would have been able to. Further, Paul's inability to lead would have been disastrous as effective leadership is of paramount importance as the dire straits that the last GOP administration had placed the country in, continues to threaten the US as a going concern. Clarity is critical here and the incumbent is the only US political leader who has exhibited any degree of ability to reason or lead, his legions of misguided critics on the SI threads, notwithstanding.
