I am not loyal to either party -- which may in part explain why i am taking time to write on this forum and ask questions.
you are correct about neither person doing anything about the Fed.
...and the monetary inflation of QE3 is far and away the most important issue of the century. I never used to think so, but Ron Paul set me straight on that one.
Unless something changes, we will be in a hyper-inflationary spiral by December of 2014. That makes everything else (except foreign policy) completely irrelevant. And Romney is worse on foreign policy than Obama.
though, is there no thought that Romney will push to cut Govt Spending....even if he spends more on some parts (ex military), that he will cut in other areas?
I don't believe that Romney will even cut PBS / Big Bird, and that's what... 0.0001% of the budget? He's too beholden to the politics of special interests.
and look to make some items such a S.S. private rather than the way our system now works?
Do you really believe that Romney will lift one finger in the direction of privatizing Social Security? I don't. He's too beholden to the politics of special interests.
I do agree, Romney is not a conservative (though not all republicans are conservatives), he wants to spend money and grow the goverment, it just doesnt sound like he wants to grow it as large and as fast as Obama.
So we go over the cliff at 55mph vs 60mph. I agree that 55 is
technically slower than 60, but does that technicality really make any difference whatsoever?
So without looking and hoping about what may or may not happen in 2016
I didn't mention 2016, if I had then it would have made my whole argument irrelevant. My argument was that we will be in a full hyper-inflationary spiral by December 2014, which will be blamed on the party/philosophy in the oval office at that time. If that is Romney, then the kickback from the collapse will lead to rebuilding in a communistic/socialistic model.
If the principled voters of America only ever look in four year chunks, we are lost for certain. It is awfully short sighted to accept a slow death over a fast death now, in exchange for a dystopian communist tyranny a decade from now. Are we supposed to simply not care about our posterity?
-- if those are the two likely options of the two, I'd rather the slow death with Romney over the quick death with Obama.
Slow deaths are always more painful than quick ones. There will be more blood in the streets, more death and destruction, more pain, and more tyranny from a slow death than a fast death.
This should not come as a surprise. Arsenic poisoning is more painful than cyanide poisoning. Burning to death is more painful than a bullet to the brain. It is certain enough to be axiomatic.
And I would like to hear from you, if you'd care to share -- why vote 3rd party...to make a point? to take a stand? because you like Gary Johnson's views on the issues? Just curious.
I never said that I would be voting for Gary Johnson. That is an assumption you have made. For a point of fact, Johnson lost my vote when he started discovering 'Constitutional rights' never envisioned by the founders or the framers. Were Virgil Goode on the ballot in NC, I would likely vote for him, even though he has his own issues at least he isn't shredding the Constitution.
And why demur from either of the Goldman Sachs candidates? Because I am a strict construction constitutionalist. I will never vote to further abrogate the Constitution.
Both RomBama and ObaMney will piss on the Constitution. If any party wants my vote, then they will nominate candidates that will honor the Constitution. As long as they continue to nominate candidates that spit on the Constitution, they will continue to forfeit my vote.
That pledge I will take to my grave.
Thanks. and if you are a marine, thank you for your service!!
Thank you, it was from a desire to pledge my life to uphold and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic that I joined. That same exact desire to lay down my life for the Constitution has led to my voting pattern whereby I will only vote for those who will honor it.
Death before dishonor.
I will die before I vote to piss on the Constitution.
