I have been called those things, and more, right here on FR for supporting the man. Now look where we are.

No, listening to the one candidate who recognizes the financial disaster we are facing and actually wants to work to prevent it is completely unreasonable because he doesn’t believe we should be the world’s policeman. Well, I have one question now for everyone; what good does it do to spend billions trying to keep Iraq from falling apart if domestically we are falling apart ourselves? Hopefully now people will realize that spending years at war while continuing to handout blank checks and printing money like there is no tomorrow is not something a responsible nation does.

I’ll be writing in Ron Paul, not because I think he has a snowballs chance in hell of winning, but because I honestly don’t see how we can hope to get out of this mess with either McCain or Obama and this detestable group in Congress. Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

Actually, we're in the TRILLIONS range, when you add in all the IOUs we've written for funding the war (e.g., promised benefits to vets, etc.)
