However, say to much to the right or too much to the left and the nation suffers. We have been down this road once before and it is so eerily similar. We need balance or we dive head first into an abyss. We need capitalism to create work and industry, but we need socialism to temper the evils of pure capitalism. We need banking to handle the ability for our economy to grow, yet we need to keep a firm hand and regulate those banks so they don't kamikaze the citizens as they are doing now to the mortgage industry. We need to get rid of free trade which has harmed every country it has touched stopping the protectionism every country had. In ours, it has moved jobs oversees and increased immigration at the same time. In others, it has made them desolate. Above all, we need representatives who will make these tough decisions in order to put us back in a economic movement again. If its not Rand Paul you feel that can do this, then Vote for someone who will. But it is no longer an issue of Liberal v. Conservative. It is an issue of what is right for America.

Once again, emotion trumps intellect and the days of McCarthyism and paranoia rear their ugly heads. Although it may be too much to ask, the only way to form an educated opinion about anyone asking for our vote is to do some research. If you're unsure of how to begin doing that, watch Rachel Maddow's news show for five minutes and you'll see how she uses documented evidence, pure and simple, as chapter and verse in providing the background checks we need to know where these vote-askers have come from, who's backing them, and how they formed their belief systems. If you can't be bothered, then continue listening in proud and blissful ignorance to the Glenn Becks and Rush Limbaughs whose cherry-picked "facts" cited entirely out of context or fabricated out of whole cloth are easily disproven by anyone interested in an objective and clear-headed search for the truth.

He is not certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology at all. He didn't like their rules so he started his own board with his wife and in-laws as the board members. Now I have to think that this guy if elected any rules including the U.S. Constitution has no meaning to him at all. This man is a wacko and should not be elected to any office that decides rules of government to the rest of us. No to Mr. Paul and the fools that follow him. If this is the best the Republican Party has to offer this country is indeed in deep trouble!!!

The income taxes we pay is to pay for the armed services to protect the citizens of this nation and that includes our borders.........

September 09 2010 at 12:27 AM Report abuse Permalink +7 rate up rate down ReplyI think some govt. control is necessary to prevent{or at least try} to stem abuses. I don't feel good about the bank bailouts....but ..where would there have been enough liquidity {money} in the banks to back up the deposits. If there was a run on the banks would you have been able to get yours? I just wish there was a candidate that really represented the backbone of this country, the shrinking middle class...I think Rand Paul and his Father Ron have alot of it right...but it needs some tempering...Also I wish the media would stop claiming he's a Tea Party candidate.. The Tea party has it mostly wrong I believe the Wall St.wolves would love a Tea Party president........no controls ..time to rape and pillage and destroy your 401k's and pension plans.......
