    Can you back up your statement? I give it a ZERO chance that you can.

    that's not a scare tactic, I'm no fiscal smarty but at least I can understand the consequences of banks shutting down...money becomes worthless, and we're back to a barter system overnight, grocery stores will run out of food in a week, do think farmers are going to accept worthless cash for their products?...

    It is easy.

    Conservative means that you want to mantain the status quo.

    Ron Paul doesn't want to mantain the status quo. He is liberal. He is libertarian, that is the way that are called the liberals today in America.

    The Republican party in the XIX century was a liberal party, with people like Jefferson and the Democrats conservative. Even in that period there were Republicans that were closer to socialism than conservatism. So yes.

    So Rick Perry, Santorum and all that ones are the perfect definition of conservatism: defending the tradition, status quo...

    But well, in part both we have reason. There are many conservatism. And maybe we could consider everyone in the Republican party as conservative in some point, but mainly as social conservative like Santorum, Perry... that for me that ones are fascist and libertarian conservative that would be Ron Paul(that disgracefully for me his ideology leads to a capitalist totalitarism).

    How about ending the war on drugs (which really IS the Libertarian thing to do, btw)? How about getting the Christians out of our bedrooms?

    How funny liberals don't seem to think any of the GOP candidates are conservative enough. Nearly as bizarre as looking at the mix of Ron Paul supporters.
    :omg:

    Not specific. No mention of Bills passed or laws proposed on anything from either side.

    You Ron Paul guys are so painfully predictable. You keep claiming the GOP and the DNC are the same but when you are asked to support your lies with specific bills and laws passed by both sides for comparison, you run away.


    Get specific or admit defeat.
