Researching The Politicians
July 7th, 2007Okay, I’ve already done my research. I’ve gone to http://www.issues2000.org/default.htm and found which candidate most closely resembles my beliefs. There are some things I seriously disagree with him about, but he’s the closest.
It’s Ron Paul, not a surprise to a lot of you. He puts Freedom first, and strongly believes in the Constitution, not as a living and breathing document, but as something that protects yours and my Rights, Rights we were born with that government will try to erode if given the chance.
Paul is hated among the current Republicans in power. Today’s Republicans are liars and frauds. Bush is one of the politicians I hate the most, for he’s as fake as they come. Bill Clinton cut spending and gave us a surplus. Bill Clinton, a Democrat, is economically the true conservative. Clinton leaves office, and Bush immediately raises spending to enormous levels and will leave your kids a deficit to pay off for decades. That’s not a conservative, my friends. That’s a failure who can’t balance a budget.
What’s worse is a scary amount of that money we owe is to China. China, one of the most evil nations on Earth (the government, not the people). But Bush puts the interests of his corporate sponsors and China’s banks above the interests of America and America’s people. That’s Bush for you, only looking out for his own interests.
Paul will change this. Paul believes in protecting the Constitution, not going into war without an official declaration of war by Congress (how it’s supposed to be done), and protecting American interests first.
If you truly care about your nation, keep what I told you in mind. Feel free to disagree with me. You may have different opinions, and that is fine. It’s a Free country. All I ask is you consider what issues are most dear to you and do your homework.
Do some research on http://www.issues2000.org/default.htm to find out where your favorite candidates stand on the issues you care about the most. And vote! Don’t make excuses not to vote either. As far as I’m concerned, if you’re not dying or attending a funeral on election day, you have no legitimate reason not to vote.
