I'm sure the owner of the magazine will always hold it near and dear when Mr. Paul goes back into oblivion (again).

Hardly. The topic is the Newt. The Newt is the problem. Career thief and corporate shill. Making millions.
I think you are overlooking the obvious write in candidate.
McX for president.

What we need is a unicameral goverment. One party, the people's party. Where bills are passed and decisions made on a simple majority vote based on the merits of an issue and not a vote dictated by political party loyalty. That may be only a wishful thought but what we do need is a houscleaning in both houses of congress. With it's popularity at 7% or better said with it's unpopularity at 93% something must change. The president is essentially a figurehead and a bunch of talk. Congress runs the show and the political party bosses run congress. With his hope turning to no hope Obama is finding out that the president has limited powers to make anything happen. If we want to fix things we must fix congress. If the voters have guts they can do it. South Dakota did it by firing Daschle we did it by firing Fiengold and also sending a message to Kohl that perhaps he should retire. The phrase we should be shouting from now till November is
"LETS FIX CONGRESS".
My Opinion.
"LETS FIX CONGRESS".

I'll second that nomination...

others have it instilled at birth;
still others have grease under their fingernails"

If Romney or Gingrich get the nomination we are doomed.
They Republicans as usual have no clue what it takes to pick a winning candidate.

That was funny on Saturday's debate when both Perry and Romney and the news people afterwards gave Ron Paul credit on some things, one of which is having supporters who are always in full force at every debate, every campaign stop, and that if there's a blizzard on election day, there'll be a Ron Paul supporter with a car ready to drive you to the polls. :lol:

Newt is a progressive statist. His interview with Glen Beck proved it. He's not ashamed of it and sees no problem with big government as long as HE is in charge of it. No thanks Newt.

No, We don't have a choice of who runs for president and more often than not we end up voting for what we think is the lesser of two evils. At the expense of repeating myself ad naseum, It isn't the office of president that we should be obsessed with. It is congress that needs to change. As I said before the president has by intention of the constitution limited powers. The powers ar largely influence, pressure, veto, executive orders. It is congress that approves the annual budget, makes the laws, declares war and runs the country. It is congress that got us into this mess and the only way for us to get out of it is to get rid of those incompetents that only know backstabbing and party loyalty. There we do have a choice although we probably will ignore it as in the past. Sometimes we can be our own enemies. The overall country wide approval rate of congress is at 7%, the lowest in history, yet if you ask people what kind of job their representative an senator are doing 33% say their congress representatives are doing a good job. GO FIGURE. WE MUST FIX CONGRESS.

Briefly, to build on what was said about the supreme court, a vote for the current president does additional damage. The president appoints cabinet members that run the agencies and they get to interpret the laws. Much damage comes out of agencies.
There are many candidates running and you can influence the decision of the winner. You can make a difference by stopping an Obama second term.
The representative and senator you vote for votes on cabinet nominees, supreme court nominees as well. It is important to vote well at all levels.
Standing on the sideline while you absolutely do not want the incumbent is no benefit to the 2nd amendment.
With narrowing winning margins because there are closely divided political views in the population of the country it makes it hard for a candidate that you completely like to get to the head of the pack nationally. That is life now and the recent past. Take away a third party candidate and we would not have had Clinton, and we would have had Al Gore and John Kerry. Boil big issues down to simpler terms and it gets very easy to see repercussions of a vote or non-vote.

This is why I want Ron Paul. He's in the Republican party so he has a chance, but he's really a libertarian in a repub's clothing. So IMO, a vote for Ron Paul is a STEP towards breaking the two party system.

I had liked him to until he stood up and agreed with the "occupy people". He lost me!!!

The "occupy people" are against corruption in the government, and seek to save the fledgling middle class. How anyone can be against this, unless you're part of the corruption (or in the top 1% income bracket), is beyond me. If that's the case, you've lost me.
