About the Paul error:
You’re talking about sacrifices by the American people. There are people on the federal gravy train that will have to sacrifices a lot. The average American doesn’t see very much of the gravy though. I’m hoping the farm bill gets axed and then it’ll be the corporate farmers making their sacrifices.

About the rest, it seems like Huckabee survived the debate, but the media’s having a nice time unearthing all his negatives and total lack of foreign policy experience. It seemed like a hands off debate, and lots of people sounded like Democrats when they stated their positions. What happened to the Republican Party.

That said, it was a pretty blah debate in an otherwise extremely blah presidential race of late. I’m half-wondering if the voters are even paying attention anymore or if they’ve finally hit their saturation point.

What part of there was absolutely no substance to this debate don’t you understand ?

The war isn’t the major issue in this country, unless of course your talking to Ron Paul. I do like a lot of what he stands for but he is a 1 issue guy. At least Ross Perot wiped the floor with nearly every person he debated. When he was in the debate with Bush 1 and Clinton, most of the debate was Clinton saying, “I agree with Ross.”

Yes we will need to reduce the size of the government, which in turn will make some American’s sacrifice.

“Agree with most everything you said except the part about Ron Paul’s comment on sacrifice.

We spend almost a TRILLION dollars on overseas policy, so by bringing our troops home and cutting spending overseas, what sacrifice would have to be made here at home?”

You are dead wrong. Music and art may not be the most important subjects in school, and I agree. I wish logic was taught in high school. Auto tech and machine shop are not taught because 1) there is not a demand in the job market like there used to be 2) most training for those jobs occur either in a 2 year technical school, or on the job. Also, math and language are SERIOUS needs in our economy due to the large amount of higher end jobs that globalization has brought us such as business, R&D, Information Technology, etc. Manufacturing has been on the way out for awhile now, and lets not forget that school is for more than just getting jobs; it is important in developing and sustaining a well rounded, educated populace. There are some private schools who specifically focus on vocation, and this is ok. This is why school districts should be in control of curriculum and policy, and not the federal government.

Thing is, even if they could make the shirt, they won’t do it for $1 a day and no bathroom breaks, so I guess we’re back to where we started.

We spend almost a TRILLION dollars on overseas policy, so by bringing our troops home and cutting spending overseas, what sacrifice would have to be made here at home?

Familes having their loved ones here instead of abroad? Is that a sacrifice?

Our troops protecting our own borders instead of Korea’s and Iraq’s? Is that a sacrifice?

Making our country safer, and less likely to be attacked by terrorists, by removing our troops from their country? Is that a sacrifice?

Spending our tax money on building our bridges and roads instead of bombing the Middle East and then paying to rebuild the very bridges and roads that we just paid to destroy? Is that a sacrifice?

Earning some respect back from the rest of the world instead of being mocked and ridiculed for our terrible foreign poliy and our policing of the world? Is that a sacrifice?

I’m sorry, but I find your statements flawed and offer no substance to back up your claims.

Ron Paul has the only ideas and ways of stopping our country from going bankrupt and it’s a shame no one gives him any press. Everyone’s enamoured with Huckabee and his “aw shucks” demeanour. He is nothing but a smoother-talking George W. Bush. If you’re happy with the way this country has been run the past 8 years then Huckabee is your man.

If you’re tired of the same old crap from Washington, and tired of seeing our country going downhill, then elect Ron Paul. He is the ONLY candidate that can get us out of the mess we’re in. Wake up people.
