1) Have you consistently refused to vote for Republicans and Democrats, either by not voting or voting third party?

2) Do you advocate abolishing or drastically reducing Social Security?

3) Do you advocate abolishing or drastically reducing Medicare?

4) Do you advocate the immediate removal of U.S. military forces from foreign nations, and drastically reducing the DOD budget?

5) Do you advocate abolishing the Federal Reserve system and repealing laws that prohibit currency competition?

If not, you have NO business complaining about the “state of the union.” Social Security, Medicare, and DOD are the three primary causes of our national bankruptcy. The Federal Reserve is the enabler that makes deficit spending possible, creates the booms and busts, and punishes savers. Unless you oppose welfare, warfare, and fiat currency, you cannot credibly complain about the economy, federal spending and debt, or “big government.”

If not, you really are for at least some major socialism--- without a revamp of the monetary system, big government will thrive and just get bigger no matter what, let's be honest here. Also, if against the audit, please explain why.

Where do you stand, or if unsure, where do you lean toward? Why?

What would make you up and up leave? What countries would you favor moving to and why?

Wow, he wasn't as great as many claim?

Including populists, moderates, neoconservatives, liberals, anyone who worships the state...

If Ron Paul were Pres, this is what he would do. Does this sound "kooky" or unreasonable or not? Why

Sarah Palin's rhetoric seems to be obviously more centered in neoconservativism, instead of limited government, pro liberty ideas. Do you think this philosophy will overtake what I think was the original intent of this movement? Yes or No, Why or Why not?

Check the link, is anyone actually ok with this "mistake"? What if it was a friend or relative of yours? No one was punished for this? Is that ok?

I don't see really any proposals to really limit spending and reduce big government by them and they tow the GOP party line on foreign policy, so what would be the difference other than that they are better than the Democrats? Bush lite won't cut it with me....

I just want to see the reasoning of why or why not. Please no talk of when my party is in power I trust it..., etc. Please give examples of what the government has done to make you trust it or not. Thanks

“The problem with American conservatism is that it hates the left more than the state, loves the past more than liberty, feels a greater attachment to nationalism than to the idea of self-determination, believes brute force is the answer to all social problems, and thinks it is better to impose truth rather than risk losing one soul to heresy. It has never understood the idea of freedom as a self-ordering principle of society. It has never seen the state as the enemy of what conservatives purport to favor. It has always looked to presidential power as the saving grace of what is right and true about America.”

If no, please explain.

If yes, definitely explain with details. This is mainly aimed toward Republicans. I'm curious to see how to justify a yes answer for those who believe in a higher power or more "personal freedoms" in general.

This question is for mainstream Republicans. I don't see how it is possible to do that when the two largest and most powerful avenues of socialism are those 2. Why is having troops in more than 140 countries reasonable and on what grounds? And what is "moral" about the Federal Reserve System and Fractional Banking since they help cause boom and bust periods and inflation?

Serious replies only please.
