Bush and the neo.cons simply repackage radical left wing ideology into a "Conservative" movement which the right openly embraced. The Republican leadership consumed by their own lust for power and greed swallowed the bait hook, line and sinker.

This slick rebranding was a Trojan horse that brought massive wide spread damage to the US democracy and our economy from within our own midst, something the terrorists and our world enemies could only dream to accomplish.

Ron you should have left the GOP years ago when you discovered they were beyound redemption.

Now you are nothing more than a shadow of your former self and no true American will listen to you.

Too little too late.

I am tired of always being frightened into voting for the lesser of two evils. That''s how we got into the mess we are in today in this country. Maybe third parties do seem like a long-shot at this point but at least they make a statement of our dissatisfaction with the status quo. Neither mainstream party has anything to do with real change.

Libertarians have gone too far towards the fringes, I will still vote Ron Paul in November anything else just perpetuates the crimes of our Government.

- You''ll need an hour before you imagine his name on the ballot, and put your X next to his name. He won''t be on the ballot card. Would it?

Ron Paul wanted to legalize prostitution. Eastern European, Pittsburgh, PA, and Canadian and California college girls have been whoring for cash for a long time. Since whoring is illegal in Neocon land, then there is undetected disease. Legalize whoring, and the cost of an education for so many beautiful American girls is payed for in advance. Ron Paul was right on in his desire to legalize prostitution. I will readily support having sexxual with any college girl that I am attracted towards. Thus, no, debt, no shame for any of US. Just consesual sexxel.

The people I don''t understand are the Lyndon LaRouche supporters. Quite a few of the ones I have seen are young. Have you read the stuff they hand out on the street? Oy. I think one was comparing Bush to Hitler. I don''t get his appeal at all to anyone who is sane or has at least one brain cell left.

I think this Presidential election will have the highest turnout in the history of our country.

McCain is running at the wrong time to be a Republican. And his opponent is not just another white male.

The people with the power will always be the Democrats & the Republicans. I just can''t see a viable third party that will be on their level. They''ll always be very far behind & not taken seriously. They won''t be able to raise the kind of money you need to compete.

Normally i would agree with you about the name calling. But after the DNC has tried to shove obama down our throats i have lost all respect fopr their party.After what Bush has done i can say the same thing about the republican party. I have always been non partisan. I think one should look at the issues and what each candidate offers, not what party they belong too. Now because our candidates have never done what they say they will we have the mess our country is in. I have received three letters from senators this past week, all republicans telling me the economy is doing great and what a fine job bush is doing. And they really think i will vote to keep them in office ? I think with people losig their jobs, homes and life savings, that if the officials we elect do not do something very soon, we may have our own revolition . If a person cannot feed his familty, he will do what he has to to survive. I am hoping we can avert such a tragedy from happening thru due process.

Isn''t it time the name calling ended? The two major political parties are the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. Barring some major incident, their candidates are Barack Obama and John McCain. Calling any of these four anything else is childish and reflects badly on the author and his or her ideas.

One major flaw of Ron Paul. He was connected to the RepubliCON losers. Too bad. He gave a good effort and a brave, honest run for office. Too bad the message fell on deaf ears among a very corrupt, pass the buck, unaccountable, point the finger at everyone else, party.

Ron Paul was my first choice in this election because of his campaign tom bring the troops home and make federal govt smaller. I am retired so i do what i like every day. Right now i enjoy traveling to different countries. I have been in Thailand for past 18 months. I got the travel bug when i was in the military.

WarDogLRS,

I have two initials that are worse than all of those combined - EU. England has one CCTV camera for every 14 people, in Switzerland it is a crime to flush your toilet after 10.30pm, etc.

I have traveled to several countries andyou are right, they all have their problems. I am in Thailand right now . The elected a new PM a few months back, over night the food prices doubled. Now they are protesting to get him to resign. His advocates are paying protestors 500 Baht a day, abour $15 to protest. The average wage here is $3 to $11 a day. This is a very poor country so the cost of living for me is great. I love the people, the country and the culture here. I have to return to the U.S. in September but i will really miss being here. I am very sympathetic to the people here. They are poor so they work very hard just to support their families. Even the animals are suffering from this world wide depression. Elephant owners are out of work and it is expensive to feed an elephant. One trainer birngs jhis elephant about once a week and sells sugarcane to let people feed to the elephant. I love the interactin with the animals here, even the cobra''s.

patriot12436,

This is a complaint I have heard ever since I became politically aware. Don''t fool yourself that any overseas country has any better choice.
