I finally watched one of these presidential candidate debate thingies all the way through. (Because Patt told me to lolz*.) The most important thing I learned was that Wolf Blitzer is really, really annoying.

patt endorses ron paul? given your descriptions listed above, i might have to start looking into this ron paul business.

[sallysquirrel]

He wants to abolish the federal income tax and go back on the gold standard.

1) sure, 2) whoa. interesting. i bet he would run into a lot of resistance from the status quo, and even his own cabinet...

YOU HAVE TO BE JOKING ABOUT THE GOLD STANDARD. in my world economy class, we just spent the last month studying the gold standard / pax britannica / bretton woods / etc etc... and believe me there is no way in hell any kind of return to the gold standard could work. that would fuck over the world economy so badly and the system would collapse within a few yrs. um just for that ron paul gets crossed off the list IMMEDIATELY.

oh god, the wikipedia entry on him is scary as fuck. he wants the US to withdraw from nato/un/wto? he wants the US gov't to fund itself w/ TARIFFS?? ew and he's all about states' rights. i wish states could just be abolished altogether, but that will never happen. i also like how he claims to support free trade but wants the US to leave NAFTA and put in tariffs... um please explain the logic??

dude, this guy is my anti-candidate. consider me terrified.
