Playing it Safe

Ron Paul is the only candidate who wont play it safe like the other cowards isn't that what we want in the white house.

The press seem to be so "anti-Romney" it turns my stomach... only mentioning his name when they have to. Although Romney has nearly twice the delegates as McCain and 3x that of Huckabee, they never acknowledge that he has a substantial lead in the contest. Instead they saidtoday "McCain is the front runner and will "enter Super Tuesday with momentum" if he wins Florida. What is that all about... What happens WHEN Romney takes Florida, then he'll have 3x the delegates of McCain and have more than momentum going into Super Tuesday.

C'mon all you self professed political experts, tell us the real storey. Wheres your objectivity?

In a brilliant debate move, Ron Paul asked John McCain for his thoughts on the President's Working Group on Financial Markets. The look on John McCain's face said it all. McCain's response revealed his total ignorance of this very powerful and secretive group. Before this debate, John McCain had admitted that ???the issue of economics is not something I???ve understood as well as I should,??? he said. But, ???I???ve got Greenspan???s book.??? Ron Paul is currently the ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee's Subcommittee on Domestic and International Monetary Policy, Trade, and Technology. He has also authored several books on monetary policy and economics. It is clear that he is much more qualified to turn around our nation's economy.

Romney won the debate.
Romney looked presidential and sounded knowledgeable.
Romney answered the economic questions well.
McCheney sounded like a tired old stump speech robo-call.
Romney is the winner!

I think the debate last night was overwhelmingly successful and satisfying that the candidates conducted theirselves very professionaalt and kept to the issues at hand. Disagreement or critising each others views makes.a good debate of course keeping on the issues. Mud slinging and smear tactics are not. Hillary and Obama needs to pay attention. There is a difference between smearing and mudslinging and calling names. Hillary and Obama, listen up, you guys will lose this election if either of you go against any of our Republican candidates. Hillary might be part of the so-called Clinton power machine, but you are no match against a smart Republican candidate. They won't wrestle in the mud with you. Thank God. By the way this sort of debate is what Conservatives want to hear. Boring it was not. If you want excitement, stick with the Democrats.

Romney won the debate.

McCain sounded like a stump speach robo-call.
Romney has my vote!

An obscure financial policy group? It never ceases to amaze me how little the American People, and press, believe their government can effect everyday life. The "Working Group on Financial Markets", the "obscure" group the article refers too, is, in fact, a Regan-era holdover from the days (specifically Black Monday) when the people feared an imminent stock market crash. The group is allegedly( a word used in the most narrow sense to avoid any undue argument) a tool for the government to use taxpayer funds to finance the purchase of stock to stabilize the United States economy.. Mostly what the group does is "enhancing the integrity efficiency, orderliness, and competitiveness of [United States] financial markets and maintaining investor confidence???. Now whether you agree with that goal or you don't, and presumably most of Congressman Paul's supporters are against more government invention into the economy, but whatever personal opinions someone might hold in a time when the economy is of paramount importance to the voter the importance of this question has gone (of course) understated. In fact, the issue wasn't even addressed by self-proclaimed economic "pro" John McCain who asserted that he would rely on his Secretary of Treasury, all the while oblivious that the Secretary of Treasury IS a member of the Working Group on Financial Markets, along with the Chairmans, or designees of the Federal Reserve, The Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Call him what you will but clearly Congressman Paul has a better, more educated grasp on the economic situation that this country has put (or voted) itself into. When so-called "Top-Tier" candidates cannot accurately identify or articulate a position on such an important financial body it becomes more apparent to me that Congressman Ron Paul is the only candidate fit to lead this country. It is appalling that a normally credible news source, like Newsweek,would so shamefully and obviously subvert an issue that voters have said time and time again is their top priority this election.
