Clint Eastwood's RNC Speech

[moreluck]

He's 77....that's the main problem of all of congress....maybe they should have a mandatroy out at 67 or so.

How much future do you think Ron has??

How old was Reagan when he was elected for his second term?

I think you're correct, this will be Ron Paul's last Presidential bid.

But the general concept of a 'Ron Paul' freaked out the RNC so much that they tightened the rules regarding 'insurrection'-style candidates (word choice is mine, not theirs...).

My larger point is that the system, on both sides, and as a whole, is weighted towards money raised, obeisance to lobbyists and Big Business, etc. etc.

The system we have now winnows candidates down to who can give the best h-job to the real players that run this country, I.E. Corporations and BIG MONEY.

As citizens, we're ultimately left with a bogus choice between 'competing' ideologies, when in reality these candidates are 95% identical.

It's unfortunate.

I think two terms for any is enough.

If corp. capitalism eg big business is so much for absolute free markets that are free of all regulation and the same are all for extremely small gov't (or even no gov't), then why didn't said corp. capitalism/big business go all in with Ron Paul from the very beginning?

I mean corp. money backed Obama in 2008' who came out of nowhere behind the strength of a new American fiction sold to the American people which begged for more gov't. This election, a lot of that same money and corp. backing has shifted over to Romney and we are expected to believe we will get something different? A smaller gov't footprint?

So I return to my original question, why was Paul ignored if American capitalism hates big gov't and regulation?

As citizens we had a choice this time. In the end 95% didn't want a choice.
