(39,909 posts)good people that are disgusted with the Status Quo wouldn't be chased into arms of politicians like Ron Paul.
Ya Think?
BTW, I agree with many of Ron Paul's issues.
*End the failed and expensive War on Drugs
*Close foreign bases, use our Military for Defense Only, slash Pentagon Spending
*Repeal the Patriot Act
You have to admit that these are attractive issues.
To a young person who is continually told that Social Security is broke and won't be there for them, doing away with it won't seem that crazy.
Ron Paul wouldn't have Bailed Out Wall Street.
The Democratic Party with comfortable majorities in BOTH Housed DID.
The Democratic Party was also the Establishment Party that used the Patriot Act, militarized Police Depts, and national Coordination to persecute peaceful, legal protesters.
The Democratic Party would do better trying to understand, listen to, and support the OWS movement.
