Ron Paul is polling second in Iowa right now, and 3rd in the country. He also wins almost every straw poll. Not to mention his supporters do not leave him like the others. He doesn't ever fall in the polls, just a steady gain. I agree the system is rigged, and like you I sometimes feel hopeless about it. I won't give up on Ron Paul though. If he isn't elected I see no hope. We will just get more of the same if he isn't. I don't agree with everything RP says, but you can see his 30+ year voting record, and he votes with principles, not for lobbiest or money. |
I do not feel hopeless about it, I am grateful for what I do have..and enjoy my life despite the state of politics.. as I know it could be a lot worse... A LOT. More later
