I agree with every thing that you’ve said and will most likely vote for Ron Paul for those very same reasons. That being said, my assessment of current culture and politics is that the majority of people don’t want an end to the current paradigm of big daddy government handing out candy and providing “protection” to us and the world.
That’s not to say it won’t end, just that it won’t end voluntarily but rather when we have no means to continue with this insanity. We are being given a choice, maybe not the ideal choice but a choice none the less and most people here are firmly in the “let’s continue the government party” camp, even if they do call themselves conservatives.
Ron Paul is an anti-Semitic, Iran-enabling truther jackass who believes America is responsible for 9/11.
Anyone who would vote for that anti-American slimeball is scum.
