Thread: Ron Paul 2012

Some people like to act like Ron Paul doesn't know what he is talking about when he says things like there is no proof of Iran trying to develop nuclear weapons, or talking about how actions increases the likely hood of blow back from middle eastern countries. However it is our own CIA that has been saying it.

Ron Paul is the only one actually listening when people speak. The CIA comes in and tell congress and the president that there is no evidence of Iran trying to develop nuclear weapons and everyone else for some reason takes that as code for yes they really have them. What is the point of having experts in the government if we totally ignore what they say?

To increase the air of legitimacy. Just like how in the Roman empire they used to pay priests to bless the emperor before a military campaign.

Haha. This is the point of experts.... to back you up when you want to do something, and to ignore them when they don't back you up.

Also that's fucking ridiculous that you have to register which party you're going to be affiliated with before voting in some states. I wasn't aware of that.

Oh and I like this poll too lol

Only for primaries and stuff, which are not actual elections ran by the government but are elections ran by the political parties and its members. In a real election you can vote for anyone you want, and you do not have to register for any party. In fact you don't even have to be a registered voter to vote. They might give you a hard time for not being registered but by law, since you are an American citizen they have to allow you to vote. Usually they hold your vote until they can confirm you really are a citizen though.
