Yeah back on the Meds now..........and I give a rats ass what some poll says.
Hi,
At the risk of the moderator telling me to go back on my meds......kinda like the libs, if you don't like the message attack the messenger don't ya think? I could deal with the discussion of Paul from a factual perspective, I was not a supporter of his; but rather have seen him taking on the fed and other popular issues as of late. Lets save the smart-ass putdowns for the liberals, we do not have to be like them.
I took the quiz on one of the websites where they asked several questions, then, based on how you responded told you the candidates who came closest to representing your values. Paul was on the bottom, Romney was at the top of the list. McCain was down holding hands with Paul as I recall.
Since that time, every time I see Romney on TV he is talking about his health care success in MA, which I understand is anything but a success. Personally I want a candidate that wants to get the government the hell out of the health care, banking, car and railroad business just for starters.
To me Romney is appearing to be a consensus builder. Screw that. Give me another Reagan. He was charming, told congress what needed to be done, then went on TV and told the public to contact your congressman and get them off their ass and get it done. It is amazing what he did with a democrat congress, getting tax cuts passed etc. Bush could not even get a permanent tax cut passed, nor a permanent exclusion of the death tax, that is how persuasive he was.
I agree with whoever said 2012 is a long way down the road. I really hope someone from OUTSIDE the establishment emerges that follows the Reagan model. He/she then gives clear instructions to congress and prods the public to get congress into action.
