Many other conservative forums where I've visited there are a majority of people mostly Newt and Santorum supporters who have been so disillusioned being left with Romney literally shoved down their throats, they feel trapped into supporting him. The MSM isn't giving them anything else either. I've seen more and more people waking up and listening to Ron Paul. Surprisingly enough...many of them haven't really understood many of Ron Paul's positions. I've been pointing that out lately. Even up until recently...I didn't throughouly understand them all...until I did my homework.
Getting the feds out of the drug war business and allowing the states to make their own laws against drugs and abortion... I really don't think a lot of people understand what this means. No more drug related crime, prisons won't be over crowed, no more drug dealers or drug lords...this will solve a lot of the illegals bringing drugs over here across our borders. Let the states make their own laws. Get the feds out of the drug war business...it's making the feds rich...they don't want out because of that.
Ron gets huge applauses for his stand on the Constitution, but when he tried to talk about his foriegn affairs policy...many people get turned off as I did once. After actually reading a history of Paul on his foreign policies...I became more and more agreeable to them. Because what I believe is that many people are not seeing is the big picture here right now with these sanctions on Iran. We're shooting ourselves in the foot with these sanctions on Iran...countries like India, China and others are paying in gold to avoid the American dollar. When all of these sanctions take affect in late June and early July...is when all hell will break loose. Iran is getting around those sanctions with the help of other countries using currency other than the American dollar. If the American dollar fails...we're doomed. We need to stop this, remove those sanctions which are an act of war anyway... It's like Ron Paul said...if someone did that to us, would be considered and act of war. We need to get out of the war business. I can't understand why the MSM is ignoring this huge elephant in the room while preoccupying themselves with polls.
While people are being distracted by the possiblity of an Iranian nuke (which there's no proof of that positive anyway)...they're not seeing the big picture, that if we continue on this road towards war...it will be to our own demise if the American dollar fails...so will this country. It'll send us spiraling into a third world state. They don't understand is that why worry about a nuke if we're doing a better job at destroying ourselves without it. If our enemies want to destroy us quicker...all they have to do now is just leave us to ourselves.
I think people are too busy wrapped up in their daily routine to take the time and actually listen and learn... Then you hear them whine because our country's going to hell, while they're not seeing they're the cause of it... Our Founding Fathers warned us about voting for and electing these kinds of people into office and where it would take us...well...we've arrived and to our shame.
There's a lot of lazy people out there who refuse to become informed. They'd rather believe the MSM or the press without actually using their own brains and do thier homework, but some are waking up and they're headed this way.
