The whole concept of “campaign finance reform”- limiting cash contributions to political campaigns- is complete garbage. ‚ In a free country, I should be able to spend my money however I please. ‚ If I wish to get drunk daily and ride roller coasters, I should be allowed to do so. ‚ If I wish to try to help a candidate get elected by giving him money or effort, I should be allowed to do so.… read more “Campaign Finance Reform BS”

Ron Paul is an interesting character. He’s a bit nutty on some topics, but right on on other topics.

I think I am closest to the Libertarian party, if I was ever to be a part of a party.… read more “Interesting Ron Paul Video- He Predicts Economic Collapse”

Can anyone tell me if it is true or not?

Sarah Palin is John McCain’s running mate.‚  Due to John McCain’s very advanced age and his mild Alzeimers, if this duo wins we will likely one day be saluting President Sarah Palin… so what do we know about this woman?‚  Very little information about her is known other than that she was a small-town mayor and later the Governor of Alaska for about two years.‚ … read more “Sarah Palin Scandals”
