His solution to nearly everything is to drastically reduce the role of or completely dismantle government. That's just not practical. If Ron Paul were president, we don't ever catch bin Laden.

A lot of his rhetoric sounds good to the average voter, but when you boil it down to actual policy and how it affects our everyday lives, some of his positions are really kind of dangerous, in my opinion.

And how practical is it to keep spending a trillion a year more then we have?

I think the real question is how did we get there?

I know its because of Bush. Obama's failures are all because of Bush. Obama does no wrong because of Bush. Bush made him do it. The buck stops with Bush. Lets beat around the Bush. Bush made me do it. Funny when it was killing Osama it was Obama only but everything bad that happens is because of Bush.

I didn't say it was because of Bush. Bush actually contributed to the current economic recovery by getting TARP passed. As much as Tea Party types and so called fiscal conservatives bitch and moan about the deficit, had it not been for TARP we're facing one helluva unemployment picture and tons of banks would be out of business. Not to mention GM bouncing back and about to reclaim their spot as number auto maker. So I think TARP was a policy success.

See, I gave your boy some props.

ya know its kinda funny cause i saw alot of old Bush cabinet people and advisors out heavily touting Bush policy this past week. Ole Ms Rice and All time liar Karl Rove even said Bush was the reason Osama was killed. Man, thats rich coming from a White House who spent most there time fighting an unjust war in Iraq and the other half other time making excusing of why were in Iraq. Wow I laughed my ass off thinking how poorly the Bush adminstration failed at killing Bin Laden.

By straying from the constitutionally restricted powers and responsibilities of the United States Federal Government? Which is precisely what Paul is calling for a to return to?
