Your kind of agreeing with me as Paul is a part of the old system. I think however we need no Parties at all. Each Candidate stands or falls on their own. The Parties are and were just asking for what we are seeing. Having these Parties give them too much power and control. No outsider has a chance and I'm sorry but Paul is an insider. I don't know where he stands on lot's of issues and he only talks about very few.
Sadly people are in fact sheep. Give many a couple of handouts a year and you own them. Nobody wants to give up their handouts (welfare) and bribes for their vote. Look at the kids in the UK rioting for more handouts. It's insane and proof of how this works.

Good, my friend...GOOD....
Aye... these are the same sentiments I've felt for a long while.
If I ever feel that someone is worth leading one of the biggest countries in the world, I'd most certainly get up and vote for them. I'd rally with a "I THINK THIS GUY WOULD BE A GREAT LEADER. NOT A GREAT DONKEY/ELEPHANT" sign. Unfortunately, that time has not come.
With so many people, with so many opinions, living such diverse lives and a country with so many issues... how can you possibly, and why would you want, a country divided in two? With a huge division as such, it's not possible to unite as a nation. If our government is on a side vs side war with itself, how will the wars against the world ever end? How can you have peace with utter division?
I was under the impression that from my personal beliefs, my upbringing, education, and government propaganda that we should see someone for who they are as an individual... not what race they are, area they're from, or what party they belong to. That's so counter intuitive to me, it's no wonder I don't vote. We may as well be fighting over Black vs. White.edit on 19-4-2011 by shagula because: (no reason given)

I find it ironically stinging that even if the machines were not rigged, the Electoral College does the real voting..... the voting that "counts" anyway....

Testimony under oath.
This testimony is important! We have future elections! Have they 'earned' our trust?
Far too many things are judged in the court of public opinion, then we just move along. Can we move along, when we hear the truth and nothing but the truth, stating our voting machines can be hacked?
Has this been covered by our media? I hadn't heard this damning testimony. Facts matter. The 'truth' matters more. If our voting machines are hackable, it should be addressed today. Af
This is old news, Ohio if I remember right. Elections are rigged coming and going, Republican-Democrat, all pretty much the same. George Carlin had it right:
