The McCain Bandwagon, a Lost Cause

The value of the dollar is falling & the deficit grows every minute. 72% of Americans believe the economy is getting worse, yet none of the leading candidates have a clear solution. In fact all of them support programs or actions which increase government spending. On this issue there is no clear winner, they are all equally poor choices. Therefore despite the fact that most Americans believe the economy to be a larger problem than our foreign policy it will not be the deciding factor in this election.

The deciding vote will be cast for or against the war & our current absurd foreign policy. Roughly 60% of Americans are dissatisfied with the war in Iraq and believe that we should bring our troops home. Coincidentally primary / caucus exit polls indicate that approximately 60% of voters voted Democratic. Why is that? It is because the leading Republicans profess a 100 year commitment to an unconstitutional war. Republicans will not gain the Presidency with a pro war platform. A vote for McCain is a wasted vote. He cannot win.

The only hope, slim as it may be, for conservative America is Ron Paul. He seems radical only because the party majority has slipped so far from its intended course of constitutionally based limited government, free trade & personal liberty. Ron Paul is the only republican candidate whose platform is capable of beating the democrats, sound, clear economic answers & a plan to bring our troops home. Dr. Paul is the only candidate from either party w/ a vision of and desire for real change. He is still in the race, nothing has yet been decided. Most of the delegates have not yet been awarded. The Utah republican caucus will be held on March 25th. Unless Ron Paul gets the Republican nomination the democrats will win the presidency. STAND UP and make your voice heard.

For what it’s worth

Isn't it sad when a Constitutionalist is considered radical? Thanks for your hard work and dedication to the cause of freedom!

GO RON PAUL!
