Great Depression, here we come.

Quoted from Box A Rox

LMAO!  NO FEAR?  The Republicans led us into this mess, then refused to help solve the problems of their disaster...
but somehow if Paul is elected president (and pigs can fly) the entire congress will work as one to support the Paul
agenda.  (science fiction)

Quoted Text

Well, I guess I really have
tried to say these things all along, but I would make this point:
criticisms of the Congress are often legitimate but incomplete, because
they act as if there was some autonomous entity here called the Congress
into which people somehow parachuted and were inflicting these terrible
pains on the rest of the country.

The fact is -- as your former boss, my great idol, Tip O`Neill, used
to say -- nobody serves in the House of Representatives who didn`t win an
election. There`s no appointment. There`s no way you get to the House of
Representatives unless you won an election. Everybody is there because he
or she got more votes than anybody else in the last election.

In other words, as the public is critical of Congress, they got to
include some self-criticism because they are the reason we are here.

.
You know, if you moved into a hotel and -- and the guy banged up your
car when he parked it and the bellhop lost your luggage and the clerk
couldn`t find your reservation, and the laundry wasn`t done when you got to
the room, you wouldn`t say, my, what a strange collection of incompetent
people. You`d say who is running this place? Who hired these people?

Well, in the Congress the "who" who hired these people is the
electorate. And let me extend that to some people that I agree with on
some of the substance, the occupy people. I am sure that there are people
who didn`t vote in the last congressional elections, and I am not happy
when people who didn`t vote blame me for the consequences of people winning
elections because they didn`t vote.

Quoted from CICERO

I honestly don't care if he wins the primary or as a third party candidate.  Ron Paul has changed the national debate.  We are now actually debating OPPOSING IDEAS, and not just a variation of big government ideas. Ron Paul planted the seed in the generation of 18-35 year olds.  I think Ron Paul is very aware that he has little chance of changing enough baby boomer(largest generation/voting bloc) big government FDR indoctrinated minds for him to win a national election.  But...As the boomer generation begins dying off, and the young generation begins to wrestle the power away from the statist big government philosophy of the boomer generation, that is when the seeds of Ron Paul will begin to blossom.  

Every presidential election since I was old enough to vote was framed as 'the most important election in our lifetime'.  Which now looking back, I know that it not to be true.  Each new administration has most of the prior administrations bureaucrats working in the new administration.  in this case, I believe the Paul movement will slowly begin to come to power, and it will most likely happen through Congressional election, no the Presidential election.

But, I will not count Paul out this year.  Americans are DISGUSTED with ALL LEVELS of government and both major parties.  The more Ron Paul's arguments are heard, the more minds he will begin to change, the more people that were never involved in politics will now get involved.

RON PAUL WINS EVEN IF HE LOSES...IT IS JUST A BELATED VICTORY.

Quoted from Box A Rox

A very long explanation of why Cicero thinks Ron Paul Doesn't have a chance.
