It's all good man, I didn't mean to rush you lol. I'm just kinda taken aback when I hear people saying they like a politician because he's cool ya dig? I watched a lot of smart people vote like fools because of slogans (remember hope and change). I did not vote for the big o and I'm honestly not sure who I'm voting for yet. He kinda scares me to be frank, how does he plan on making these changes? Obama was gonna change shit as well as Stalin and hitler, change is good but at what cost? Sorry if I am a rambling its been a long day.
That's the biggest misconception people have about Ron Paul. His respect for the constitution would extend into Presidency where he would not use executive orders to write laws like Obama has. Ron Paul has stated countless times that he would rely on persuading the public and the congress. Executive orders are constitutionally permitted in situations like repealing the NDA/PAtriot Act or ending wars and overseas troop deployments.
I'm not sure who you are saying scares you but under the assumption you are talking about Ron Paul there would be no logic in fearing him or his policies. With President Paul (based on his word) you probably wouldn't have a President providing dictatorial powers like our past two have been. A strict constitutionalist believes in having public support on the issues and policies put forth. The ones you should fear are the ones who are afraid to tell go against their political base in the election cycle but the moment they take office they start bypassing their constitutional power in order to impose new laws.
You're right. I myself will admit that I believed Obama actually stood for something in 2008 (even though I still voted Libertarian). I think the biggest lesson that I learned is that the media is not our friend. The corporations with the big lobby money is not our friend. So when those two get together to back a candidate as much as they did Obama in 2008, don't expect things to turn out as you are being lead to believe.
I agree, with your first sentence too. I don't like when people vote who don't pay attention and only take a candidate for face value. Our country has too much of that and we have been raped because of it.
edit:
One last thing, I know that you are Jewish and probably support the state of Israel. There has been a lot of propaganda flying around about Ron Paul hating Israel and all of this, but I think supporters of Israel need to realize that if the country depends on the US than it is in the best interest of Israel that America begin to worry about its self for a while. If we continue to spend our selves into economic destruction, or meddle in the worlds business to the point that we can no longer defend ourselves from creating so many enemies.. Israel will be left alone without one of it's closest friends and allies. (Just my opinion on the matter)
