First of all, the people voting saying that America will be a police state are very naive and are severely overreacting. Secondly, we will have a chance in 2012 but only if we get rid of the dead weight. We can't have truthers and white supremacists bringing us down. We also can't get hostile with people and shout in other supporters faces. It doesn't work and it just turns people off. It's a shame that these people are so selfish that they don't realize how much harm they're doing to the movement.
Third, someone with a little bit more moderate views is needed. And preferably someone who can speak and debate better than Ron Paul. You're not going to win a national election with a platform of abolishing the federal reserve, the irs, social security, medicare, repealing the civil rights act, the voting rights act, and withdrawaling our troops from all over the world. Realistic solutions are needed and hopefully the 2012 candidate has them.
