statement about 2 political factions duking it out happens to be
entirely correct. The system was intentionally designed this way so the
country could adjust itself between Jeffersonian democratic and
federalist views.
I think I'm in love. You're the only person in this thread who understands this.

Here is why I am not voting for Ron Paul. Because I feel that, while he
has some amazing and incredibly needed views on limited power, size,
and scope of the federal government...
...I do not want the age of Pax Americana to end.
...I feel he uses religion as an influence for his views, far too often for my tastes.
...I feel that his isolationist views, while idealistic, are unrealistic as a legitimate tactic for American foreign policy.
...I
feel that his espoused foreign policy views would leave many of our
valued, long-time, and/or important allies across the globe out in the
cold, or utterly annihilated (Israel, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, much
of NATO). I do not believe this is a desirable, admirable, or
appropriate course of action.
...I feel that while many of his
proposed economic and governmental reforms would, in the long term,
yield a benefit, that their short-term effects would be little short of
devastating, and that there are better, less dramatic alternatives.
...I
feel that he, along with the overwhelming majority of other candidates
that appear viable at the moment, have a very poor idea of just how much
of a threat China is our way of life.
Among other things.
Guy's got some good ideas, but he's kind of batshit. |
