There never has been. But I like a principled adherence to our Constitution. And I like the idea of a small fed and low federal taxes. That’s why I’m voting for Paul. Fiscally conservative and socially liberal is what I like, and Paul fits the bill more than the others. He, and all the others, is still much too religious for my taste. His religios…ity and work as an obstetrician has led him to believe abortion is wrong, which I disagree with. But he is only against the fed paying for abortions, which I can live with. I trust him to shrink the government more than the rest. He is for stopping the war on drugs, which I am wholeheartedly for. I trust him to not get involved in foreign wars unnecessarily, although we should have a strong military and be prepared for war at all times.

The President of the United States is a unique position. The President cannot pass laws, only influence the tone in Washington. I actually would like to see more libertarians elected to Congress. This would put us on the right track more than anything, in my opinion.

You may ask, why would I not vote for Obama? I think he was an ineffective Senator, who didn’t even show up to vote a lot of the time. He is friends with and backed by known communists and progressives, and I believe has these ideas himself. He believes the federal government should raise taxes on everyone to pay for massive healthcare programs. This is socialism. He believes in unfairly taxing people with higher incomes to pay for programs that help others that don’t work. This has never worked in history. It is utopian and goes against real human nature, in that welfare and freebies encourage more laziness and poverty in the recipients, and discourages capitalism and investment of the working classes whose earnings are being gouged to supply these freebies. The Soviets tried this. It failed. Chicago’s public housing projects of the 60’s have failed miserably and have all been thankfully torn down. And I have never given money to the dozens of beggars I pass in the street every day, because this encourages begging as a way to make a living. It doesn’t encourage actual employment, where these beggars are contributing to society.

I strongly believe in NO FREE LUNCH. I believe in holding parents responsible for their children, criminals being held responsible for their crimes, truth in sentencing, the right to a SPEEDY trial, and the death penalty. Liberals have great ideas regarding social ideas regarding gay rights, women’s rights, drug rights. But I am totally against the government meddling to get these issues pushed using taxpayer money. Ultimately, I believe federal political positions should be held by constitutional conservatives, with the social issues dealt with by the states and municipalities. Nothing is fixed by throwing money at it. And that is my position!
