It is official, Fred Thompson has QUIT.
Do you think that is a good thing or a bad thing??

Because Ron Paul is the only one who is in favor of a smaller government. He's the only one with the guts to say he would do away with the IRS and Federal Reserve. He has the best economic strategy of any other candidate running. He is the only one who believes in strictly following the constitution. He is the only candidate who truly believes in securing our border and is against amnesty for illegals.
All of the candidates keep talking about change. If you really want change, vote for someone who doesn't fit the republican or democrat mold. The only one that applies to is Ron Paul.

Not to open up a can of worms or anything... I've just never heard that, and would like to know what kind of basis that statement has.

So, we get rid of the Federal Reserve and the IRS... what does this resolve? and how do maintain financial security without those two? I do think that many changes need to be made to the tax codes, but how does getting rid of those help us? Who is going to collect taxes or regulate the economy? I'm all for free markets and the government keeping its hand away from economic forces as much as possible, but the FED is about to keep us from going into a depression... I think I'd like to keep them around to keep the money supply in check and the interest rates where they need to be to give buyers and sellers of all markets the incentives they need to be able to sustain the economy. I'm all for smaller government, but I have to admit that having the Fed around has kept us out of experiencing another Great Depression.
