If You Are Afraid Of Change - Don't Vote For Ron Paul

COMMENTARY - What is it we Americans see in the Presidential Candidates that leads us to believe either party - the Republicans or Democrats - will steer us out of the wilderness of debt that has been thrust upon us? If you look at the chart below you'll see that it hasn't made a difference which party is in office, the debt just keeps climbing. Even in the economic boom times of the mid to late 90s and the early 00's - when we had budget surpluses - we were unable to pay down the debt. Both parties say they will work to lower the debt, blaming the other side for our fiscal and foreign problems, but the reality is, neither side follows through on the campaign promises. And that's all they are, promises - empty promises.

So why do we, as voters, continue to go with the same old, party-line thinkers? Do you, as a voter, honestly believe that Mitt Romney will suddenly do something different than whats been done in the past? How about Newt Gringrich? After all the years that ol' Newt has been around politics, what makes you believe he will somehow change what's going on in Washington? Really? You believe the mojo these guys are spewing?

Or do you just cross your fingers and hope? Or have you been snookered? Or worse yet, given up?

There is only one man running that has a completely different view of what's needed to return this country to the great and prosperous place it once was. Ron Paul. And how crazy are his ideas? Why don't you ask the men who drew up the Constitution, as this is his guideline to return sanity to America. If you are tired of protracted wars abroad that never seem to be won, wars that guzzle lives and money like a soulless black hole, then why are you voting for Romney, Gingrich or Santorum? Again...Why would you do that? Ron Paul is the only candidate that will bring our troops home and then use those troops to protect and lock down our borders - and it won't cost taxpayers to do this.

Tired of spending billions defending Europe, Japan, Israel and countless other countries? Even while many of these countries hate us? Isn't it about time for each of them to reach into their own pockets to pay for their own defense? Spend their own money building a military instead of living under the umbrella of our protection? Then why are you voting for Romney, Gingrich or Santorum? Again... Why in the world would you do that? Ron Paul is the only candidate that will change all that. Dr. Paul will bring home the troops and shut down bases all over the world, saving money and forcing countries who have been using us, while laughing at us behind our backs, to spend their own money to stay safe. He will save us billions of dollars while still defending our country should it ever be attacked. And if that should happen, he will go about it the right way - getting a Declaration of War from Congress - then go in and finish it quickly, bringing the troops home, not letting them linger in a far away place for years and years. Am I wrong in assuming that this is what you want?

Do you want to see the economy get better? With less government? Do you want freedom from Washington telling us what to do and how to do it? Do you want to see our debt begin to be paid down? Then why are you voting for Romney, Gingrich or Santorum? None of them is going to do it! Look at the chart! Its not going to happen with any of them! When you look at these candidates, what is it that they say to you that makes a difference? Its time to smarten up - Ron Paul is the only one with a plan to save us one trillion dollars the first year and balance the budget in three! Are you telling me you are against this? Really?!

What are you, the American voter, afraid of? Are you afraid of peace? Are you afraid of having more money in your pocket? Are you afraid of becoming a strong and prosperous country that once again leads the worlds economy? Are you afraid of taking back our great country? Are you afraid of telling the political whores in D.C. that enough is enough? Are you afraid to say to them that We The People tell them what to do and not the other way around? Are you afraid of Term Limits? Are you afraid of returning our monetary system to the Gold Standard so the money you make has real value - here and worldwide? If you are afraid of these things, then by all means, vote for Romney, Gingrich or Santorum. Any one of them can keep this country going just the way it is - Swirling right down the drain. But if you crave change, if you want liberty, if you need to see the US of A on top again, there is only one man to vote for... Ron Paul.

For change.  For America
