The answer is "1" referring to the movie "300". I don't really get the joke, but it's something like he's an army of 1 I suppose. I think that when you vote for someone who doesn't have a great voting record, such as these candidates, you're going to get that voting record (if that made any sense). If someone changes their position, *cough* Obama *cough*, you won't know who you're getting. Of course, I don't think one bad vote here and there is bad... But when you see that someone supported individual mandates and TARP it is hard to just stomach that. Romney has flip-flopped on many issues such as abortion, stem-cell research, and gay rights... Does he sound like Obama at all? Who did the bankers support last time around? I believe that man was Owebama. Now they're supporting Romney... Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
WHY DO YOU ALL THINK PEOPLE FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD HAVE FLOCKED HERE FOR 200 YEARS? TO GET PAID WHAT THEY ARE WORTH! PEOPLE WHO HAD GIVEN UP HOPE OF MORE STAYED IN THEIR SELF-MADE PRISONS. WE DON"T WANT ECONOMIC EQUALITY. WE WANT A CHANCE AT BEING THE NEXT RICH MAN. NEITHER SIDE OF THE STATUS QUO FIGHTS FOR THAT REALITY.

No, it's really NOT as simple as that. There are consequences with every action and most of them are unexpected. Radically changing our country's global direction could have dire consequences. I'm surprised so many people are willing to take that risk for the almighty dollar. What on earth could Ron Paul do to affect how businesses pay their employees?
Anybody but Obama, baby. Yeah, I asked the inhouse historian to explain the riddle and he said 1 as opposed to 300, too. I like this one better: 12. Ron Paul has no alarm clock, but instead wakes every morning to the call of freedom You go, Dr. Paul!!!! [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALfo4N-s8io"]Ron Paul, Superman![/ame] (from 2007)
It was an example of the difference between a phony conservative and a real one. Because the one who pays all his employees basically the same wage is in it for profits, he calls himself a capitalist. However, the things we have control over dictate who we are more than what we wish from those higher up. Every business owner basically has in his possession his own nation. And to run his nation as a socialist, while screaming for the government to be capitalist above him is hypocritical to say the least. I, and many others, are sick of "rightists" running our country who are a split hair different from the "leftists" when they get control. Us wanting Paul in office for 4 years out of the last 50 years of globalist control is barely a compromise, and your side doesn't even want to allow us that. I fear those who are happy do not realize how badly they are outnumbered, and are seriously underestimating the resolve of the rest.
Will the USA collapse if austerity is imposed? The USA will certainly collapse in the long-term, however, the timeframe might be 1-20-50 years. The propagation of the illusion of prosperity has merits and consequences. The implementation of austerity has immediate and real consequences that many are not willing to adopt. Buy guns, ammo, rural land for agriculture and water access. If nothing happens, rejoice.
You are fighting the wrong enemy. Ron Paul is not our messiah... he's a false prophet who's diverting attention from the real goal... defeating Obama.
Defeating Obama to what aim? To have a white guy sign in the same legislation he would have signed? I don't care the color of the man who betrays us, nor do I care the color of the man who breaks the chains of the global regime's lock on control. I want the global regime out of power. Period.
First he's gotta win... and HE CAN'T WIN. Now that we've come full circle, I'm leaving this thread with apologies to the OP for going off-track. I don't usually visit Ron Paul threads for this very reason. You folks are nuts.
Nuts is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. You act as if democrats have had control for 50 years. THEY ARE BOTH THE SAME. NOTHING WILL CHANGE IF ANY OF THE OTHER GOP GET INTO POWER. NOTHING. You want yet another rigged American election where we vote for the front man who smiles and waves while his handlers (*)(*)(*)(*) us from the shadows. I don't feel like participating in another rigged election.
Smartass knows that , they play the game my team Vs your team screw America . one term President Obama no matter what . (*)(*)(*)(*)ing stupid is what is .
