I dont' trust any of my fellow citizens. A person is a fool if he thinks it comes down to trusting other people. I dont vote to demonstrate trust. I vote to get people elected.I am not ready to throw in the towel on America. This is a very great country and while we have some problems right now (and always have) these can largely be over come, little by little.How long are you willing to use that excuse to vote for evil?
"This time we just have to get rid of the democrat, next time we'll get someone good". Its the same excuse every time.
Here's some reasoning I'd like to see Rabbi take issue with..
If it is at the point where I cannot trust 49% of my fellow citizens to go the polls and NOT VOTE for a party that will DESTROY this country --- the game is over. It's time to give them the rope to hang themselves. It's the fastest way to recovery. MORE TAXES. MORE useless Green Jobs. MORE starving SS with Payroll Tax deducitons. MORE Whiner and Beggars. VIVA la Revolution!!!!
I've GOT to be able to trust that we as a WHOLE are giving informed consent. I don't want to live in a represent.. Democracy with a bunch of morons.. That's a prescription for disaster.
I'lll wait for the INCOMING flaming or the NSA to claim sedition..
This is the problem with the narcos: they think merely electing Ron Paul will bring the coming of the messiah. The president is not a dictators. He is among the most constrained power holders on the planet. And the Founders designed it that way. So while he can exert substantial influence on the system, he cannot change the system. Or if so only incrementally.
I'll vote for incremental good over incremental evil any day.
You've stressed that "I vote to get people elected" repeatedly.. I DON'T vote Libertarian if the candidate is a narco-Randian.. But in this case --- MY candidate is just as qualified as YOUR candidate.
Want to compare 8 yrs of governing New Mexico to 8 yrs of governing Massachusetts?
Want to analyze their "conservative" credentials based on ACTION and see which one is not a "phoney" small government fiscal Conservative? No you don't.. Gary Johnson has a clearly better record as governor than Romney.
I'm working with the LP to simply get on the ballot in all 50 states. Costs us almost all of our time and resources to jump the barriers to the ballot. Think all those $Millions and hours are NOT "to get people elected"??????
