    Anybody or anything that counters the liberal hijacking of America I'll support.

    Teabaggers are the REAL hope and change.

    Wow I'm totally impressed. Finally a leftists that can do more than sling pointless mud with no rational bases of thought. You, sir are a giant among you peers. Even though you and I may not agree on all things you have my respect. You are well read and you can formulate an argument. Which in is more than can be said for some of your compatriots. I do agree that congresspersons nor any other political candidate should be bought by the highest bidder. And I totally agree that people should not vote in accordance with the banner the candidate flies, but vote for the person that will work for the 99%. Which is almost never the case. Political parties and divicive issues are just controls on the system. If we are all arguing about frivolous things like same sex marriage and 2nd amendment rights than we will not see our freedoms slowly being siphoned away. "If you taker thee freedoms in the name of security the people will give them up willingly "

    I wish there were more as vigilant as you.

    The Tea Party occasionally is unreasonable and is destroying the GOP, not helping it at all.

    The Tea Party has created grid lock in congress and nearly destroyed the GOP primary backing a different candidate every month.

    Palin is a product of the Tea Party and she was also the destroyer of a great candidate (John McCain) chance at getting elected in 2008.

    I will add that, I have studied Reagan for a long time and feel he would have disliked the Tea Party and he was truly the father of the reborn GOP.

    I am a Reagan Democrat and approve of this message.

    The Tea Party needs to change.

    That gridlock has helped our country.

    I'm sorry to tell you but McCain would have been slaughtered in 2008 Reagan style in the electorate if Palin hadn't been part of the ticket. We conservatives are tired of being betrayed by the establishment Republicans. Why do you think we are kicking them out in the primaries all over the country.

    The GOP was OK before The Tea Party and will be better after The Tea Party. The GOP needs The Tea Party like lung cancer needs more cigarettes.

    The Tea Party wants to bring hard money back, which means the price of gold will control how much money is printed. This would never be able to happen in this world economy so right there is a big sign that the Tea Party is in the 1930s and does not understand this economy or have any kind of world view understanding of the world economy.

    You are trying to rail against the repubs to the wrong guy. I rail against both Dem's and establishment repubs. Its things like what Nixon did that we are trying to eliminate as conservative. Mostly any compromising with the leftist values is what we are most after.

    Nixon was Eisenhower's Vice President, all of a sudden Nixon is not a Republican, he was very much the Republican and close to Reagan as was Ford as well. I guess you want to rethink the GOP and there history as well and crap on these great men. WRONG!

    When did I say he wasn't a Republican. You are trying so hard to do a straight link of me to the Republicans. Either you aren't reading what I am saying or you are trying to ignore most of what I am saying. Oh btw Reagan is not conservative enough for me. We conservatives are trying to oust establishment Republicans.

    no, I stated that I don't support some or many of their decisions. You are the one that crapped on Nixon, and all I said about Reagan is he isn't conservative enough. I would still vote for Reagan, but there are many Republican past Presidents that I would not vote for today.

    How did I crap on Nixon? I said he started soft money and it was a good idea at the time, I agree that all money should be backed by gold, but its to late now. There is not enough gold in reserve to cover the amount of currency needed anyway. I give a break down below. If it were up to me I would have taken out Truman or Eisenhower and put MacArthur, he was a Republican and had ten times more experience in foreign affairs, government and of course the military then both who became president. Nixon and Reagan were very good cause and affect presidents, only the bulk of the Reagan economic plan did not take affect till the early 90s.

    If you look at the statistics his plans were affecting the economy within the first year of office. He managed to get unemployment to start heading down in that first year.

    I think your view on the GDP vs gold as monitory backing. When I was in collage around 2006 I had an accounting professor. and the question came up in class. And He told us something from his experience because he was that old. He told us that in the 1930's one toz of gold was worth about $35.00 which would buy you a nice quality hand made suit. He than pointed out that at that time the valuation of gold was about $350.00 per toz which at the time could buy you the same hand made suit. Gold will continue to hold it's value. The economic model of basing the monitory system allowed the central bank to control the value of the dollar. No bank can control the value of gold.

    See now the bank can make money out of thin air.

    The real issue is that the government can barrow against the GD with out restriction. Because the GDP is a future. with gold you can only barrow a fraction of the reserve. you can only fraction it by about 50 times. No country is going to continue to loan the US money on the diminishing fraction. There is an actual limit as to how much the government can barrow unlike now. and at some point the government has to slow down the money printing in order to repay the loan.

    The United States Bullion Depository holds about 4,603 tons (4,176 metric tonnes) of gold bullion (147.399 million troy ounces). The price of gold closed today at around 148 million troy ounces x $1,601 per ounce of gold = $235,948,000,000 Billion. I do not think the gold we have can sustain the amount of currency we have through out the world which I think is about $829 billion dollars, unless of course you shake down the public. It would take a long time do be able to adjust what Nixon started because which was of course the bill for Vietnam. He needed more money for Vietnam so he printed money. nixon and the gold standard nixon and the gold standard

    The Republican party will die if they don't turn back to conservatism, and I will personally see to its destruction. In fact the Tea Party isn't conservative enough for me, but they are at least acceptable.

    President Bush whom I greatly respected who ran this country the way it should be run, which believed in the Reagan plan if you will, was furious when he heard that McCain picked Palin. Palin was a joke, she has no understanding of world foreign affairs or the world economy. She was the governor of Alaska, population 500 thousand. There are almost 7 times that in one little part of NYC, we call it Queens New York.

    It does not take much to run such a small place like Alaska, she is not what people think she is.

    Michelle Bachmann is ten times more the person you would want running government and she has her problems as well. michell bachman

    I think you have been listening to leftist propaganda to much. Palin is very smart and probably would have been a much better president than McCain. She is at least willing to challenge the left and stand her ground all while challenging establishment republicans too.
  • Christian Adam 2012/08/02 05:00:10

    She is an embarrassment to the GOP and is party to its destruction.
    There are many ten times more qualified Republican women out there then her, your scraping the bottom of the barrel and you don't have to.
