"It would be the most disappointing presidency ever."
Impossible to top Obama in terms of disappointment.

I think it's a classic case of the guy who has no chance of getting elected being the most appealing because he can promise the moon.
But let's say RP did somehow get elected. It would be the most disappointing presidency ever. His supporters would be expecting a sudden change in economic policy, ending the Fed, mass shrinking of government, troops coming home, etc, etc..
But guess what, the President doesn't directly control any of those things. Unless you elect hundreds of Ron Paul clones to Congress, he would be blocked at pretty much every turn.

Don't be fooled. He's a homophobic and racist Republican. He's never started a revolution and he never will.

Conservatives are 6 year olds. Libertarians are 13 year olds who are really into Dungeons and Dragons and think it's representative of how the world works. Liberals are the well meaning 17 year olds in the glee club.

- There, follow the link.monoblanco
- i like how "libertarians" are ok with non agreement with each other with out name calling. more adult like. and they try to comprehend other viewsdeathboy
- comprehend the others views withotu name calling. and even though they understand the other views they dont need to agree to feel part of the partydeathboy
- to agree to feel a part of the party. like i disagree with his views on public education in the context given.deathboy
- but id be happy to see it scaled back more to fit his approach. one can say he thinks it should just stopdeathboy
- but thats not practical and i believe he knows that. Hes jsut stating the ideal to shoot for.deathboy
- Think thats where peopel think libertarians are crazy. They dont understand context in such statementsdeathboy
- Its easier to say wow your talking utopian thats impossible. And the alternative is to jsut follow a party that they think represents themdeathboy
- think represents them the best. part of their identity. but good interviewdeathboy

^ you can forget about that. If they had wanted to really improve it, they would already have done so. I no longer care for the dysfunctional system that are American politics. Friends of mine who've gone to the US from Europe tell me other things (for instance, how cool the real people are).
Is there a shadow government in the US? As there is in Britain?
- Yes, it is called corporate America. Basically corporations with the most money have most influence.
monoblanco - yes. everyone else is fucked.mikotondria3
- there are conflicting interests.... medical costs will probably not go down for a long time, too much $$$ to be made....vaxorcist
