Ham:
"My priorities" are on the side of reducing government, not expanding it.
The exercise of individual liberty is not the root of the latest crisis.
The financial meltdown is a consequence of irresponsible government programs
since the New Deal that encouraged people to purchase what they could not
afford and taking on increasing debt in the process. As with every
overextended nation since the fall of Rome, there is a point beyond which
which monetary credit can no longer be sustained, and this was it. That's
why I'm not voting next month for a leftist who promises to increase
government welfare in a country that has accumulated the largest debt in
human history.
woods:
This is all said and good, but I wonder if you voted for a real
conservative in the primaries or would have considered voting
for a real conservative named Ron Paul.
Ham:
When people start trading in love instead of dollars, let me know, and I'll
give some consideration to your theory. Until then I'm voting Republican.
woods:
You might think your voting Republican or conservative, but that's
the ticket Bush ran on and he was way more left in gov't expansion and
spending than most leftist. I don't think Obama or McCain will actually do
what is necessary to make a smaller gov't. The Republicans run on these
ideal pipe-dreams, but they don't follow through with them. I believe Ron Paul
would have or at least he would have tried. He tries all the time. He didn't
vote
for the bailout. His record shows he's true conservative. Everybody knows
this,
and he has the awareness, the intellect that knows what's going on. He
hasn't been influenced by big government and look how long he's been
in the Senate. So on that argument it would seem big government doesn't
influence the politician the politician freely chooses to be big government or
not.
Would you consider Ron Paul or is he too scary?
