How does isolationism benefit our economy? How does getting rid of regulation make the market stronger? If you take the founding fathers on their bare words, you have misogyny. That was the norm back then and I'm ALL about the constitution but things have changed. Companies, since America was founded used children to climb into their machines and forever disfigured them without the disability benefits or settlements for the children. Companies used paints that KILLED people. Companies used insulation that is STILL killing people.
America from it's foundation was made with room for improvement. There are ALWAYS oversights, so breaking the system to its bare bones do NOT benefit us. That is why I refuse to give Ron Paul my support. The ideas he has sound GREAT, but will never come to fruition and he will be a lame duck President if he were to be elected. Instead, we're left with two grumpy old men and a "cheerful" one. Let's take a look at that, there are candidates with no morality, no substance, no grasp on christian values, no grasp on American values, no mercy, terrible business ideas, and then there's Santorum.
I could write books on how bad Santorum is (I'm from Pennsylvania). He bankrupted our state and ruined education here for years. He voted for No Child Left Behind, and intervened with government decisions about a private manner. He extorted the state for Charter School Vouchers while homeschooling his children. He moved OUT of the state while serving in it's senate. When he moves into the White House, he's likely to lead it from Canada at that rate.
This leaves me with my candidate. President Barack Obama. A man that has done more things that were left unsung or unpraised in 4 years than we've seen from any president since Lincoln. Look it up, Lincoln almost lost re-election because Americans felt he was betraying them. During his first term, America SPLIT. He was threatening to bankrupt the economy by REMOVING their source of cheap labor. He ran on a platform of "We can't backtrack progress and I'm the only candidate to stay the course". It was what America needed then, and it is what America needs now. Look him up on Politifact. He kept a LOT of his campaign promises. The ones he broke were earmark promises that we couldn't afford to support. Better than that, check out his In The Works page. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-me.../in-the-works/
Most of his accomplishments wont be recognized for another 2-10 years and when they are, he will be praised. That is why there is still Hope and he is my candidate.
