no..you are right he does not sound very republican...except for the racist comments he made early in his career..
so if I'm a republican does that make me racist?
As i'm sure we all know, it is almost impossible for a third party to ever win anything or benefit in any way when it comes to the democratic american system (lol). I look at it this way there are two parties in this country, doesn't leave us with many choices does it. And yes I am a registered republican, I've been voting since 1992 and not once have I voted for a republican or democrat...lol. I registered republican just so I could vote in the primaries, if I had chose third party I would have limited myself...great system we have here.
I think the thing that upsets me most is we could get someone like Ron Paul in office, who has some different ideas. The problem is will any of the other powers that be back him, probably not. The systems broke it's extremely difficult for anything to change it really is. not trying to discourage anyone but the president does not have all the power to make things happen....at least he's not supposed too. Ron Paul can step in and say end this drug war, and congress and the House will laugh and make sure it doesn't happen, people seem to forget that politics isn't about a better world or a free country but rather it's all about control. So if Ron Paul ends the drug war, how does he explain to all the LEOs and others that are employed in this war that they are unemployed. Everyone seems to think the US will make a killing if they legalize weed, not true. They will lose a major money maker in the drug war. Also if they legalize weed tomorrow, are we all going to go out and buy gov't weed? I know I won't so what does the US government get then? Nothing. The Drug War is also about control, careful what you wish for. If legalization does come it's not going to be what we think. The US gov't will have full control and that means FULL CONTOL. Think about what that could mean......
