in spite of the popular and misguided opinion of Ron Paul supporters... presidents don't make laws, massive, sweeping change can't happen through unilateral actions of presidents. it requires getting congress and the senate on board and the populace at large... and that requires leadership and a vision that they can all buy into and get behind.

in spite of your personal opinions and beliefs... the system is specifically designed so that a renegade that doesnt represent the will, values of beliefs of the majority of voters shouldn't become president... so right away, that should tell you where you stand with your chances of getting your nazi into office to replace the current nazi (ok dipshits, cue your "bush stole the election" rhetoric as if thats an insightful and intelligent reply... while ignoring the reality of how the system is intended to function and as if Bush had very little popular support - TWICE)
I think many people don't realize it's a fixed system. Also, many realize this and are too lazy/comfortable to want to change. I mentioned that things would have to get bad before many wake up. Maybe $8 gas will help. But I am proud to be called naive if the alternative is resignation to impotence. So thanks- and vote for R. Paul.
