					<description><![CDATA[If we are serious about our rights and liberty, then there is only one candidate to choose from - and I believe he&#039;s the elephant in the room - RON PAUL. 

We really need to ask ourselves a question: If we were in control of a major news network and we had companies and bankers (who actively send lobbyists to DC to protect their interests) throwing billions of dollars money at us to advertize on our network(s), would we call them out on their ethics and speak out against this corporatist path we are on, or would we be greedy and keep the money flowing by either a) not focusing on what would hurt them or b) not supporting a candidate who is fighting them? 

Let&#039;s ask ourselves another question: if we were in control of a university or hospital and had systems in place that guaranteed payment for our services (i.e. federal student aid, medicare, medicaid, etc.) what is stopping us from making it more and more expensive as time goes on for people to take advantage of our services?

Here&#039;s one final question we should ask ourselves: What could possibly be gained from invading and occupying small nations whose threat is insignificant when compared to the threat posed by the USSR during the cold war other than commandeering their natural resources(i.e. oil, minerals, etc) for a profit? These are human lives we are playing with!!

Ron Paul has NEVER taken money from ANY special interest group, including the ones who sponsor mainstream media. He has ALWAYS defended liberty by voting with strict adherence to the constitution in all 30 of his years and 11 terms serving as a Texas Congressman. He wants to bring ALL of the troops home and end all of the congressionally-undeclared wars we are involved in, saving billions of dollars spent every year in our budget. He believes in sound, market-controlled monetary policy instead of the current Federal Reserve system we have of making money materialize out of thin air - only to bail out the same special interests who sponsor the mainstream media. He has consistently stood his ground on his principles of sound money and liberty and has a stellar voting record to prove it. 

As a Christian, I believe that no one is perfect(&quot;For all have sinned and all fall short of the glory of god.&quot; - Romans 3:23), but people with this kind of integrity are a rarity in this world and are UNHEARD OF in a politician. It&#039;s time to stand up for our rights and let the wall of race separating this country collapse. We are all in this together - not as Blacks, Hispanics, Whites, Oriental, or tribesman, but as AMERICANS who cherish the liberty we were given by God. We need to wake up to all of the corruption in our government and call them out on it. We need to vote out  the incumbents and vote in RON PAUL.

I&#039;m only scratching the surface of what makes this guy great... Please don&#039;t take my word for it though- research him for yourself and judge him by what comes of of his mouth, not by what the mainstream media says about him(in fact, I challenge you to try and find any concrete &quot;dirt&quot; on him). If we can get past how we are all being manipulated, then I am hopeful that we can take our country back and send the greedy, treasonous criminals who got us into this mess to begin with where they belong - PRISON.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As a Christian, I have witnessed that Christians are expected to emulate the perfection of thier faith. The idea that as a Christian, you... YOU.. of all people.. should be righeous.

It is a huge responsibilty, and an honor, to be held to such standards. 

But true Christians will be the first ones to tell you that Christians are not perfect. &quot;We all fall short of the glory..&quot;.. and we all fall prey to sin.

But for those that don&#039;t recognize sin, the huge connotation has no meaning. They don&#039;t understand why a three letter word can conflict with something they know a Christion holds sacred. 

This apparent polarity instantly becomes hypocracy in thier view, and can distort further communication. 

There are many facets to this topic, but I should tie it back to the original article in how Republicans are treated differntly than Democrats. 

Its simple to me. Republicans are more closely tied to Christianity, and conservatism, which takes on an air of piety. When anyone transgresses from the conservative/Christian norm, they are not only met with disaproval for their actions, but they are hit with the notion that they are hypocrits for sinfully failing to uphold their morals. 

Its a tough position to defend... to be perfect. But the way the world vehemently attacks those that diverge, even the slightest, from the way.. speaks volumes to what the world holds in their hearts as the true way.... otherwise, why the outrage??]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Very good comments. It is frustrating that we do not have a perfect candidate. Actually I would consider any of the twelve that we do have as preferable to President Obama. Apparently a lot of independents, and some Democrats agree. I think it will be a close race, but that the electoral system will put us over the hump. I actually think that President Obama has been a fairly good Commander in Chief, at least compared to what he could have been. Unfortunately that seems to be about his best area of performance. We cannot continue business as usual, when we are borrowing trillions of dollars to meet our annual budget.]]></description>
