...and the savior might be:



RON PAUL!

I might be going out on a limb here.

Although I am a True Blue Democrat, I cannot help but agree with and admire Ron Paul. Check out his statement on high risk credit:




The real answers are, and always have been, found in the principles of the free market. Let the market set the interest rates. If we had been functioning under a true and transparent free market system, we would not be in the mess we are in today. Government, like the American household, needs to live within its means to get back on stable fiscal ground.



The Middle Class is always the victim. The Regular Republicans are only for themselves and the top tier, high net worth 10%'ers. The Regular Democrats are only for themselves and baby-sitting-check-getting-welfare-queens. Those of us in the middle that actually work and pay the taxes so everyone else can stay up late and party need to organize.

IT'S GONNA TAKE A LOT OF PAIN and probably the cable going out for the middle class divided red and blue to unite and change things.

Paul is the only candidate I can agree with on most issues.

But he has a problem, which is that he is not electable.

He doesn't have a big party machine behind him.

Most of all, he is truthful and doesn't pander. You have to pander, which is what the proposed bailout is all about.

I have to disagree with this statement. Although both parties promote regulation the Democratic party is more fervent especially when it comes to regulating the market place. The current group of politicos that are calling for bailout and more regulation of the industry are Clinton, Dodd & Schumer all Dems. Bush was right when he said he felt for homeowners who are in a bind but that it has to resolve itself. That's viewed as insensative but is the correct view.

I agree with Paul. Let the market play itself out. That doesn't mean bubbles like this won't happen and that the average person wouldn't get hurt but it's better than the government getting involved. When the government gets involved it's to late anyway. They end up throwing good money after bad.

kbr,

Bush's words and actions prove my point about the Regular (and by that I do not mean EVERYDAY) Republicans.

Bush verbalized his desire for no bail out for the FB's, a very anti-populist position. But his action of appointing Helichopter Ben to the Fed Chairman has already helped some of the elitist member banks.

I'm not talking about all the good hearted NSCAR dads and NRA members. Those people are just the tires of the Republican Party. Bush, Inc. rides on them to the finishline and then are discarded them when they are worn out.

Ron Paul....ha ha! There is no way he will be President. He is smart and logical. Why would we break tradition and elect him!
