man how do you fucking people not read anything in the topic.
the last six or so posts were about how shit ron paul was, and this topic is full of it.
good to see you're so heartless as to be afraid of being "raped in taxes" while allowing a fearmongering incubus who believes jesus gives him the right to beat his wife enter office!
ps: ask your friends who are so paranoid about liberals if they would still be doctors if their med school was free and they took a minor pay hit. if not, your friends are no doctors I'd want treating me considering money is really the last reason you should be operating on people for, win win.
Fantastic flame.
Now, let's get onto the actual point of my post. My point is that I don't care for the liberal side of things. And a "minor pay hit" for doctors? Really? More like a massive pay-hit. And if it helps people in school -- fantastic. But my doctor friends are much older and have been out of school for years. So not that fantastic for them. There's a reason that US Health Care is awesome -- it's expensive and you get what you pay for. Cuba... Hmm. Social health care. Canada? Same thing. Then why is it that it takes you months to get your busted leg fixed in Canada? Why did Fidel Castro get a doctor from outside of Canada? I had a friend in Canada who had to wait a few months to get his broken/busted leg fixed and reset by the doctors because of the waiting list.
I would prefer to have my leg taken care of ASAP. Or hell, if I get cancer, that'd be nice to have treated right away. You know, instead of dying while I'm waiting for my health care to take care of me.
And as far as Ron Paul. Fantastic. Now, let me ask you this. Aside from his poor "family skillz" and his "crazy beliefs," I'd actually like to see someone DIFFERENT get into the office. Sure, he's got some problems. Bush was an alcoholic. Clinton (Bill) is a sex addict. Everyone has their issues. But what are they bringing to the table? Ron Paul will bring Libertarian views to the US which would be a change of pace -- a very welcome change, in my opinion.
And I find it amusing that there are a lot of people in here who will go and say all of this. If you actually *Vote* then I'll have some respect for you. If you don't, then you have very little need to flame. I pay my taxes, I go to work, I have my medical insurance through my company.
What I'd honestly like to see is a cut-down on some of the unnecessary government programs in the US, a revitalized push into helping with education and boosting that so that college fees aren't so damn expensive, someone kicking the RIAA in the balls, and less restrictive IP laws and stuff that won't kill torrenting and P2P (or at least attempt to).
Wasn't Hilary also trying to really start restricting game sales and stuff too?
