And Romney will bail out the banks again. They both will, in fact.

Exactly. SURE they paid you 1.6 mil to tell them they were creating a bubble. Liar.

He's not even CLAIMING he'd come near to balancing the budget! Whom does he think he's kidding? His RHETORIC isn't even any good.

Ron Paul can singlehandedly guarantee a Romney loss if he wants to. There's a reason the left wants Romney. Even if they lose, they still win.

The President CAN'T throw out the tax code. Read the Constitution again. No one will pass 999. He can kill a lot of spending, however, just in the executive. Ron Paul, 2012.

Obama hasn't a chance in H#ll of getting any percentage that starts with a 5. No way. Even less with Paul on the ballot 3rd party. Could see a winner at 45% then.

999 is a disaster. ANY "revenue neutral" plan is a disaster. The problem is the big government tab, not divvying up the tab. Revenue neutral means the same weight on the camel's back. The problem is spending. The problem is how much money is directly and indirectly controlled by government. Cut government to less than half its size. Get the annual budget down to 2 Trillion or less. And once it's far smaller, arguing who pays how much is a lot easier anyway.

Agreed it's a huge step in the right direction. But a LONG way to go. Many of the "tea party'" candidates are already siding with the party establishment hacks. Primary challenge...

Ron Paul was right last night and Romney should (hah) be ashamed, as if he were capable. There ARE NO CUTS. The only year that cuts are real is the current year. Ann is right about the falsehood of future cuts. But even what most call cuts are BS. A friend of mine, a nonsmoker, when he wanted more spending cash, would increase the amount of cigarettes he didn't smoke. Once he was up to not smoking like 3 cartons a day. WHAT A SAVINGS. Romney stood up there last night and rattled off all thes defense "cuts." Total BS. He was rattling off all these huge potential defense budget increases. Until the total number of dollars spent in a year actually drops, don't get suckered into believing anything has ever been cut.

OF COURSE there is a double-standard. Duh. Don't waste your time reading any more comments. Spend your time studying sound money or something. Or reading about Patriot Act abuses. Something, ANYTHING useful. This story is real, but a complete waste of your time past knowing the first two sentences.
