On the minds of many americans is the upcoming presidential election. Among the candidates are many who seem like carbon copies of their competitors. They trumpet the same rhetoric back and forth and show their enthusiasm and determination to exercise force in their favorite way over the citizens of the country. They spout their ideas of what Health Care, the War in Iraq, Social Security, etc would look like under their administration. But none of them will take a second and just think. Think about wether any of those things are even within their realm of real control, or wether the precedent that has been set by our government is worthy of being followed.
With that being said I must point out that there is one candidate that I feel breaks that mold and really succeeds at applying his knowledge and understanding of principles to decide the validity of any law that he would seek to endorse. He understands that the issues that surround us today are not unique to us. Civilizations throughout time have gone through similar cycles. Our United States Founding Fathers understood that, they researched throughout the annals of history to create what we became our constitution. They realized that when a government goes unchecked it grows boundlessly and destroys those whom it was created to serve.
That man is Ron Paul. He has been a US Congressman for 20 years. When voting on a bill, he compares it to the principles in the constitution, and thereby is able to determine if it is even within the bounds of the federal governments jurisdiction. If a law doesn’t pass the test, he votes NO.
We have some big problems in the US today. Those big problems are not going to be solved by putting a near carbon copy into office. Albert Einstein once said “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”. Isn’t it about time that we stop the insanity and really make a change for the better. Vote Ron Paul.
Ron Paul : Stop Dreaming
Ron Paul : Don’t Tread on Me
