You need to come out of the closet as a libertarian.

Bullcrap. The only reason there are two parties now that promise handouts to their respective groups is because Americans have become extremely lazy, have an attitude of entitlement, and have become too fucking ignorant to realize that this country is going down the shitter fast; certainly alot faster than ever before. If we keep up our current policy and we don't change our act within the next two elections, I don't see any way we can avoid a huge economic meltdown, a broad loss of international respect, and an overall loss of power. China is huge, they're already a huge threat to us. The economy is sliding and the dollar is crap. We have an upcoming election with a whole new group of shitheads, and of the major picks not
one single candidate strikes me as the kind of person that can lead this country effectively. Not one.
I'm not a libertarian. I just don't want to see us fail. Forgive me for thinking the only
honest candidate that can keep this country from getting derailed is one who is a traditional conservative. Do I think he'll be able to eliminate the FBI, DOE, IRS, etc? No... don't be stupid; the senate and congress will never let that happen. I do think he has a level head though, and his policies are exactly what we need right now.
