No matter what the era. Just because we have cell phones and internet, does not mean we had to change the winning strategy that made this country great in the first place---heads and shoulders above all others that ever existed. Better than all of those socialistic countries. They all rode on our backs, we were kicking their asses so bad. They hated us (and many still do) because our people were earning great lifestyles. It is not the different time we live in that is the difference---it is different people. People that strayed from their oaths, incrimentally--a little bit at a time, until we forgot what worked and made the country the best---in unbeatable record time. Greed and power took over, and money started ruling the government, instead of the people. The people were cut off from happenings within washignton--we wern't getting the whole story on issues that effect us directly-and decisions are made behind closed doors--or jammed through as quickly as possible, in hopes nobody will notice. Ear marks can be in massive numbers--attached to one bill, instead of dealing with one issue at a time. It is not that the times have changed---It is the fact that the people we elect have changed. The old proven philosophy of being a constitutionalist has worked exponentionally better than any other form of government----yet that winning philosophy keeps changing along with the people we elect, by the people we elect.
In my opinion--the perfect candidate today, would be the same person as the perfect candidate from the late 1700's. A person that knows it is not about the party, it is about the people. A person that remembers when it was considered a responsibility of our employeers to keep their home based American workers employed. (ya never hear any Cathy Lee Gifford fights about China) A person with the integrity to not take what he himself has not earned. A person that allows a nation of laws, and a free population at the same time. A person that friggen remembers the governments that were fled from to form THE GREATIST NATION ON EARTH! A person that truly knows that all men are created equal, and should be treated as such. No other country can beat such a mass population of perfection. Every citizen in the world wanted to live like Americans, yet we assimilate to them.
I select Ron Paul with Dwight D. Eisonhowers (sp of course) military knowlege. (the last militarially responsible predident we probably had--he knew when to hold, and when to fold--and he had the balls to warn us about the military industrial congressional complex and the possiblity of imperialism)
Anybody got any DNA? Wierd Science for the perfect politician?
Ya gotta admitt--a liberial can't tell a story like that --touching the heart of real free Americans--without wanting to gain power over the people--for the good of the socialist all---- whos ass we used to kick--and still and always will be able to.
RON PAUL!!
