Look what I got in an email: by Ron Paul \| Facebook November 9, 2012 America is over $16 trillion in debt. The "official" unemployment rate still hovers around 8%. Our federal government claims the right to spy on American citizens, indefinitely detain them, and even assassinate them without trial. Domestic drones fly over the country for civilian surveillance. Twelve million fewer Americans voted in 2012 than in 2008, yet political pundits scratch their heads. It's not hard to see why, though. To go along with endorsing a never-ending policy of bailouts, "stimulus packages," and foreign military adventurism, the establishment of neither major party questions the assaults on Americans' liberties I’ve named above. As my campaign showed, the American people are fed up. Many realized heading into Tuesday that regardless of who won the presidential election, the status quo would be the real victor. GOP leadership is now questioning why they didn't perform better. They're looking at demographic changes in the United States and implying minorities can only be brought into the party by loudly advocating for abandoning what little remains of their limited government platform and endorsing more statist policies. My presidential campaign proved that standing for freedom brings people together. Liberty is popular – regardless of race, religion, or creed. As long as the GOP establishment continues to not only reject the liberty message, but actively drive away the young, diverse coalition that supports those principles, it will see results similar to Tuesday’s outcome. A renewed respect for liberty is the only way forward for the Republican Party and for our country. I urge all my Republican colleagues to join the liberty movement in fighting for a brighter future.

Evidently Obama isn't interested in a strong economy. How does he plan to collect tax revenue from an unemployed population? On second thought - it truly is oxymoronic to expect logic from his Liberal thought patterns.

I will have to agree to disagree. romney never contested any significant percentage of the trash that was thrown at him during the campaign. He never really offered up any rebuttal to any of the character attacks. I imagine he thought people would just know better if he acted nice (and I am pretty sure he is a real nice guy but you know what they say - nice guys finish last). He never really connected a lot of his ideas to just what they would translate into, on the ground, for the american people. He never really presented a specific vision for a Romney presidency. There was no "shining city on the hill" moment. I was very leery of him from the start, because it was apparent the media favored a Romney candidacy, which told me they figured he would be the easiest one to beat. He allowed the democrats to demonize him terribly, and never really defended or rebutted at all. Harry Reid's 'accusation' that Romney paid no taxes at all for 10 years went a lot further than they could ever have dreamed it would .. they got lots of mileage out of that one. I never heard Romney even one time say anything like "Senator Reid either produce your evidence, or shut up" ... nothing. Romney was in the lions' den. He needed to get down and dirty a couple of times, He never did.
