After watching the last two debates, the polls, and finally the results of the South Carolina Primary, I am finding myself consistently surprised that the American people are choosing candidates with poor records. Both Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney have horrible records. They seem to have changeable opinions based on what they think will get them elected (which I consider business as usual for politics in America). But my point is, I really thought that after doubling our debt in three years to $15 trillion, and seeing how Obama has flipped on so many promises he made as a candidate (ending the wars), the people of this country would be looking for somebody incorruptible. Only Ron Paul has the record to back up his rhetoric! He has never had an inconsistent vote! His record is unassailable! Even if you don't agree with everything he says, at least you know what you are getting, and you can count on him to abide by the limits set by our constitution.
No President can come in and just do whatever they want, though we are getting close. Wouldn't it be nice to have somebody in office that you could trust not to abuse it's considerable power, for a change. With Mitt and Newt as our anointed front runners, we are left to wonder what agenda they would push as president, and what parts of the constitution's limits they would choose to follow. Would we end up in another war (with Iran), without the people's representatives in Congress getting a vote?
The race is still young, but I fear that if Ron Paul doesn't score a victory soon he will be completely marginalized, and the American public will get in line to follow whoever they are told the favorite is. If you want somebody you can trust in the oval office, I suggest you do whatever you can to lend your support to Ron Paul now. There is no time left to decide. Volunteer time or money, or both, so we can get America on the right path again. I have.
