SlapItHigh Writing candidates in is always an option but the vote will not be counted unless the candidate files a declaration of intent after failing to get on the ballot. Regardless, no candidate has ever won as a write in for a major election. Getting your name on the...

SlapItHigh I'm glad to see another person who has voted for many third party candidates! If more people voted on pricincple rather than party, we would have probably had very different people in office over the years. I'm pretty sure Bush would have never been elected...

Ok as most know the US is considered a Democratic Republic, but to be frank it's more like a dressed up Dictatorship. We are suppose to be the land of the free yet so many of our "freedoms" are slowly being taken away from us "for...

SlapItHigh Ron Paul is personally pro-life but he does not think it is the federal governments job to say either way. The constitution does not allow for the federal government to get involved with social policy. Google "Ron Paul" + "federalizing social policy" for a...

SlapItHigh I didn't really buy anything beforehand. I didn't see it as necessary. I had a few hand me down gowns to put the baby in but I mostly planned to wear him on chest, skin to skin so he didn't need much clothing. We had plenty of money but I didn't see the need...

I now have three kids in diapers. One is in the newborn size, the next wears a size 4 and my 2 year old wears pullups. The cost of this is over $100 when I buy big packs. That's pretty ridiculous for something they just potty in,...

SlapItHigh This is why I use cloth diapers. I bought a couple at a time until I had enough for 3 days in between washing although I usually wash every other day anyhow. I don't have to throw away my diapers and keep buying more, I wash and reuse. It helps the enviornment...

SlapItHigh I won't be voting for her but not because of the reasons you mentioned. I would disagree that the war has to do with "private industry". Haliburton has little to do with the "private sector" since the federal government is assisting it greatly. Unfortunately,...

SlapItHigh Part of the problem is in your first sentence. We are not considered a democratic republic, we are a constitutional republic. But the constituion and the republic part have been ignored and now we have all become democrats. Democracy = mob rule. Even the...

SlapItHigh You would deal with your neighbors the same way that you deal with them now. Most people already deal with their neighbors on a Libertarian basis. For some reason, people seem to have a gap in their logic and don't realize that the same way we deal with people...

I never realized how important every election is. The primary elections are coming up in a few short months to select which Presidential candidates will move on to the general elections. Will you be voting?

1 response

SlapItHigh Yes Ron Paul is going to get us out of Iraq. He is the only one who will actually get us out of Iraq and NOW. He is the strongest anti-war candidate by far.

SlapItHigh I think it is downright frightening. One step closer to a North American Union (NAU) and one step closer to a one world government. The CFR's end game.

SlapItHigh There are no faults in libertarianism. It is logical, 100%. The only real arguments I see against Libertarianism claim that a Libertarian society does not solve all the problems of the society but that argument is flawed because Libertarianism doesn't claim to...

SlapItHigh Because the primaries are much earlier than the actual election. States are moving their primaries earlier and earlier. For example, in NH for the republican primary you MUST register as a republican or an independent by October 12th. That only gives people a...

Tell me what you think. Are we any closer to a candidate that really has the country in his/her best interest or are the present candidates just playing us all for fools? Are they only looking for a vote, hopefully to win the...

SlapItHigh We are not just close, we are there baby! Ron Paul definitely has the country in his best interest. No one denies that, even the nay sayers. He is the only one who is not power hungry. He doesn't even except his congressional pension so the proof is in the...

At the Democrat candidate debate, none of the candidates would say that they would end the war during their terms. Apparently the Democrats aren't any more interested in getting out than the Bush administration. It also shows that...

SlapItHigh The only candidate who will end the war is a Republican - Ron Paul. 70% of the country is against the war. I guess that is why Ron Paul earned over $5 million this quarter for fund raising from everyday citizens. The top tier democrats are no different...
