I found the channel switcher but there were no batteries. It was 8:50 and the debate ended at 9. I scrounged up batteries from the kids' toys (a perpetual battle) and switched on the Republican debates. They were just ending with Ron Paul standing up against torture in any situation including if children are at stake (it's illegal, don't you know). My children torture me. I can never find the channel switcher. It's often days befo...re I can find it, and then it's been stripped of batteries. It's torture to not be able to watch a show I want to see. I think Ron Paul is the one Republican I would never vote for, even if Obama was the only other choice. Paul is a visionary. That's what we don't need, as the kids would say. I just want someone who's effective. Ron Paul wants to dump all the federal agencies in the Potomac, call home all our troops, get rid of foreign aid, and open the borders entirely and stop caring about the drug trade. He also wants to return to gold and silver (as if there's enough for 300 million people to really do this). There's a golden gleam in some of his ideas, especially the ones he's gleaned directly from austrian school economics: particularly Hayek and Von Mises. But otherwise, he's way too libertarian for me. It's torture to listen to Ron Paul. His voice grates up and down my spine. I hesitate to compare it to waterboarding. I just want someone competent who will get the business sector moving again. Ron Paul is always up on a high horse about something. It's just torture to listen to the man, even if he's against it.
I like Herman Cain but he's lost the women now. The Republican candidate is going to have to pull together the entire electorate to win. I love how he approaches problems. Got a Gordian knot? He approaches it with a chainsaw. Rip! It's over. Unfortunately he also approached dating in much the same way.
I think it will end up Romney as the nominee, with someone on the ticket who can hopefully apologize to the evangelicals for his being Mormon. Maybe Huckabee? We have to win all the debates, and can't have a single serious misstep or else the MSM will go wild. They want communism by any means necessary. We have got to get the economy back from the Democrats. They are waterboarding the entrepreneurs, and I think the impression of something dying may be for real.

There is enough gold (not silver--Paul is a goldbug, not a silverbug) to return to gold as currency.
One ounce in existence would be enough.
Now, that means that gold would increase in value by one, perhaps two orders of magnitude, but this would stimulate the economy as it would make some people very, very rich.
Paul (nor any goldbug I know of) doesn't want to return to gold coinage--but to gold-backed currency in order to reduce money supply manipulation.
Any amount of gold in existence is enough to do this--dollars would simply be worth a fraction of a gram of gold.
you call it a channel switcher?? not a remote?
what's with that?
Next he'll say 'clicker.'
Then we'll all be doomed.
Clicker!
Econo-types have toyed with commodities other than gold as a backing for currency. Lincoln for some time supported a grain standard. There was a cotton standard of a sort in the south-sugar as well. A wine standard--Cal merlot, 1980, etc-- or cannabis standard might work as well.
You must be missing more than the remote to write stuff like:MSM will go wild. They want communism by any means necessary. Yea right Anne Curry is a Red Guard Marxist and NBC is for state ownership of the media. Many times I appreciated your perspective, but of late your ideology seems stuck on one channel. I like some of Paul's positions and honest rebuke to the neo-cons and will vote for him in the primary.
