Are you sattisfied that the Democrats are spineless liars and Republicans are murderous perverts...? What is stopping you from making a change that will better us all? Are you that loyal to your chosen party that keeps betraying you?

Its in who is donating the money. Ron Paul's top 3 donors are Google, the Army, and the Navy. For other candidates, they are a who's who of elites.

Hillary: DLA Piper, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley
Obama: Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, National Amusements Inc.
Giuliani: Ernst & Young, Elliot Management, and Credit Suisse Group
Romney: Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Marriot International

The real choice we have in this election is between electing a puppet of Goldman Sachs and similar companies or a man of the people. Do we want to let these elites continue to run our country into the ground or do we want to return America to what it was intended to be? Should we elect Ron Paul or should we elect one of the bought-and-paid-for candidates who oppose him?

If the governor of your state ran for President of the United States of America, would you vote for him or her? Why or why not?

If you do live in Michigan or California, your governor (Jennifer Granholm or Arnold Schwarzenegger) cannot run for President since they were born outside the United States (Granholm was born in Canada and Schwarzenegger was born in Austria), but if Granholm and Schwarzenegger were elgible to run for President, would you vote for them?

As it stands people vote for the person who can tell the best BS, not one who actually wants to lead with integrity. Why?

I know that I personally don't like living in lies, and to me, BS is nothing more than lying to people's faces. This goes for Democrat and Republican alike, there is nothing different between the two besides their name.

Public opinion service Rasmussen Reports recently released data from its October 12-14 polling that indicates that Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul leads his GOP opponents against Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton among likely voters ages 30-49. He is the leading White House contender for the key demographic, polling higher than Clinton among baby boomers. Congressman Paul polls in at 47%, compared with Clinton's 44%, among likely voters aged 40-49.

Romney says that his plan to spend a minimum of 4 percent of the nation's gross domestic product, not including war funding, on the military would help reverse a "dangerous decline under the Clinton administration."

The TRUTH: The slowdown in military spending started during the Reagan administration. As a share of GDP, modern-era defense spending peaked at 6.2 percent in 1986, slowed to 5.6 percent in fiscal 1989, the last Reagan budget year, and drifted steadily down to bottom out at 3 percent in fiscal 2001.
And that is approximately where it is today.

Can Romney supporters explain this 'dangerous decline'?

I posted this article the other day to prove what government and unions do to the taxpayers of NY State, and ONE person responded. Read the article at least an educate yourself before throwing out all the union rhetoric. This is how government agencies run. How can anyone defend this crap? Liberals at work giving away the store to their friends. So much for helping the poor by driving away jobs (no pun intended).

I am so fed up with the me tooism of the ALP and Liberals. They may as well be one party with factions fighting for power. I am not going to vote for any of them. Please don't say I am ignorant. I have a degree in politics, am politically active in a union and other groups but cannot bring myself to support these corrupt parties. The Greens and Democrats are no solution as they have some pretty scary policies. Is vote refusal an option for people?

LOOKS LIKE LABOR DID PRETTY WELL WHEN YOU SEE HOW MUCH THEY CUT RATES BY UNDER KEATING, HOWARD JUST SAT THERE AND REAPED THE BENEFITS

Either he isn't that good or he has little control over interest rates . Both question his argument that the Liberals are the best to manage the economy.
If they are so good why didn't they manage to at least restrict the rises? Maybe they aren't so good after all!!
Also if they have little control, then if Labor get in it will have little impact on the interest rates. For example the Reserve Bank has acknowledged that Howards promises will only put inflationary pressure on the interest rates forcing them up.Second they have said that Labor's plan to address the skill shortage will help reduce the pressure on interest rates!
Also why didn't the Howard government listen to the Reserve Banks 20 warnings to address the skills shortage to reduce the pressure on the interest rates, Howard ignored them and 10 rate rises later with more predicted is the result!!

This govenmnet hasn't managed the economy well. They came in during the mining boom, cut funding and sold public assest!!!
