I agree with Mr. Paul. Maybe by 2012 we will have the collective good sense to elect someone like him to lead. This is coming from someone that did not even consider him a year ago. I hope there are others that are ready for a new direction. We need a smaller more responsive government. What we are seeing now is a government that has gotten to big, to powerful and to self absorbed to even realize it. This bailout reminds me of a person that is out of control and asks for more lattitude to do destructive behavoir so we can pretend he is okay. Pretend, pretend, pretend....lets pretend what our homes are worth, what our dollar is worth, that debt does not matter. Its time to get real again America. We have let social engineering invade every aspect of our lives to the point that it has us on the verge of destruction and now the enginneers want more of the same to save us? save us? from them? no. It is time to rid ourselves of the majority of all of these characters. We need to become the people that made this country great in the first place. We have been hi-jacked by career pretend-o-crats. These people care about one thing...reelection and favors for political and monetary gain. The whole bunch of them are corrupt and have legislated away our values that made us great.

Credit??
Credit? Who needs more credit? Credit = Debt. Has anyone made this connection yet? If you are worried that you will not be able to get a car loan, well, maybe you should not buy a new car. Buy an older car and pay for it in cash. F*** the banks and their interest rates. This country does not need more debt. It needs to go back to Gold and Silver as the only true form of currency, like it was before Nixon. Has any politician (besides Ron Paul) ever mentioned that the Federal Reserve is a PRIVATELY HELD CORPORATION. It's about as "federal" as Federal Express. President "W" said "congress needs to act". HELLO. CONGRESS DID ACT. They said NO. We don't want asia to end up with all the gold in Fort Knox. Have you seen the new $1 bill? It says "Made in China". I am not afraid of a stock market crash. I would love to see rich white guys jump out of windows in Wall Street. Bring your camcorder and put it on YouTube so that we can all laugh.

Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich & the bailout
Thank God for Ron & Dennis. They're the only 2 I believe in. I make my decision, then go to their sites to see what they think Amazingly enough, we agree on everything except abortion rights for woman.
Ron, you're not a woman, you cannot imagine what it's like to be pregnant, therefore I do'nt think you should force your opinion on us. Otherwise, I wish I's be voting for you & Dennis for pres & VP to begin an fresh, honest government. The corruption in our government is unspeakable.
How can we get rid of the blue dogs, & why & how was Nancy Pelosi able to take impeament off the table?? What is your take on that?

the bail out
Whenever I hear scare tactics, "if we don't act now," I become highly suspicious. Nor am I hearing what these horrible results wil be that will affect honest, sensible people. No one has to have a mortgage immediately! Stupid people who over spent will just be getting an education, thereby probably getting a better future if they heed what they have learned. When we vote, I am writing in Rod Paul so as not to waste my vote on an unwise or incompetent candidate. We are all responsible for how this world works.

media
If the national media would tell the truth people would know and maybe we could save this country for the people.
The banking cartel known as the Fed has enslaved this country to debt, and now that it can't get back all it created it expects those of us that haven't allowed ourselves to be enslaved to bail THEM out.
Shame!

Douglas in Oakland gets it.
Bravo my friend, this is exactly what I also think.This is a rare occasion where we can repeal the foreign controlled Federal Reserve along with the fallacious Corporate Personhood law which never really was legally passed by the Supreme Court or Congress.I mean now that the powers that be are talking about it.Or, we can Amerotize the dollar when we try to pay back that $700,000,000,000 and become the slaves of the Corporate fascist State.

Why Didn't We Lsiten?
I've liked Paul's economic stance since I first saw him grilling the Fed chairman. We really need to listen to him. I am, congress, the senate, and Wall Street should.
It's a crying shame he did not get the GOP nomination. It's worse than a crying shame...
