I trust their governor, paul and even bush more than pelosi, biden and obama... hellofa lot more. I was a bit stilted by the banks reporting of higher profits. The numbers just don't jive with what was reported just a few months ago... so when were the books skewed; a few months ago or as of late? It just doesn't make fiscal sense, no matter how you look at it it is impossible. One or the other report was fabricated. Quite frankly I could care less which one was a lie; just that there is a lie is enough for me. I have had it. Ron Paul was right, it has only pissed me off more. If texas succeeds color me texan!!!

That of course is when Rush limbaugh got all pissy faced over bushs massive spending, then did a 180 after having a personal talk with the mighty bush, then rush spent the next several months trying to convince the conservatives throughout America that bush was some sort of a genius. That he was spending this money in order to keep democrats from having an issue to show the American people that bush was an uncaring Butt head. But in reality, everyone was told to put their Conservative ideas on hold, support the parties leaders and do what the party demands of them and don't question the supreme authority, So that is exactly what the wanna be conservatives in our congress and senate did. They put their Conservative values on hold and gave the heil hitler salute to the Bush Administration and they followed orders. The following election, many republicans who were not conservatives got their sorry a$$es thrown out of office. George Nethercut from washington state was one of them who was removed because he was seen as a non Conservative Bush butt smoocher. So again I will say this. Government is full of conservative wanna be's but ya usually don't hear a peep out of them until the democrats take control of the white house ,the congress and the senate, then all of a sudden the conservatives are everywhere screaming waste, fraud, corruption and all those things that the Bush administration wrote the book on.

I watched the government balloon to a massive size under the bush administration and I have seen trillions spent by both Republicans and Democrats. I am also not aware of even the slightest reduction in the size of the federal government from either of our two parties in the five decades that I have been alive. The federal government has expanded many fold in fifty years, so if the Ron Paul look alikes are out there, they certainly haven't been making much noise. I guess they might want to speak up so that we can hear them. And as to your other post, The dream will surely die after Ron Paul retires if we don't start replacing Republicans in government with true Conservatives, whether they be Republicans, Libertarians or anyone else who wants to practice true conservatism. I agree that there are many who believe in conservative ideas in our government, but when bush was in office, Not too many Conservatives were screaming, stop the spending bush. Bush actually gave massive amounts of money to churches when he first took office. Not only did that destroy the separation between church and state, the conservatives in government were nowhere to be found. Thats just one example of our current government conservative makeup. They might be hiding amongst the Republicans but Ron Paul seems to be the only one making any significant noise.

He is not exploiting anyones anger, he is merely expressing his understanding of the United States Constitution to anyone who wishes to listen. The man is one of the only politicians in government today who actually understands and practices the constitutional restraints on the size and scope of government, and he is one of the only persons in government today who actually votes according to the principles and guide lines set forth by the Constitution. He is also not espousing the idea of secession, he has simply stated that it is not un American to discuss the idea of secession. Please take some time to read and understand the constitution before attacking Ron Pauls character. You will see that they both make perfect sense. (Ron Paul and the Constitution).

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”
– Thomas Jefferson

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
– Mohandas Gandhi
