Tom Woods: 26 Things Non-Paul Voters are Saying
Submitted by Truth and Culture on Wed, 02/08/2012 - 13:56Tom Woods compiled a thought-provoking list of 26 things voters are saying (aware of it, or not) when they refuse to vote for Ron Paul.
(1) The American political establishment has done a super job keeping our country prosperous and our liberties protected, so I’m sure whatever candidate they push on me is probably a good one.
(2) Our country is basically bankrupt. Unfunded entitlement liabilities are in excess of twice world GDP. Therefore, it’s a good idea to vote for someone who offers no specific spending cuts of any kind.
(3) Vague promises to cut spending are good enough for me, even though they have always resulted in higher spending in the past.
(4) I prefer a candidate who plays to the crowd, instead of having the courage to tell his audience things they may not want to hear.
(5) I am deeply concerned about spending. Therefore, I would like to vote for someone who supported Medicare Part D, thereby adding $7 trillion to Medicare’s unfunded liabilities.

This needs to go viral!!..
This needs to go viral!!.. unfortunately I don't really know what that means or how to do it.
Well done! Confronting, but not mean and blaming.
(18) I am deeply concerned about radical Islam, so it was a good idea to depose the secular Saddam Hussein — who was so despised by Islamists that Osama bin Laden himself offered to fight against him in the 1991 Persian Gulf War — and replace him with a Shiite regime friendly with Iran, while also bringing about a new Iraqi constitution that makes Islam the state religion and forbids any law that contradicts its teachings.
Is this true? Never head that. Bin Laden was Sunni himself, like Saddam.
