Who do you support for US President? - Virtual Bison - 10-11-2011 This is an Americo-centric poll but anyone can answer. Who will get your vote? Choices can be either in the primary or general elections? Also, which presidential candidate will most likely support Academic freedom in the United States?

This is an excerpt from a much longer article by Tom McClintock, but I think it addresses that issue. Government is not the answer, it is the problem. Cain and Bachmann are the candidates who best seem to understand that.

Paul interests me a great deal though I am not 100% in support of everything he stands for. RE: Who do you support for US President? - Armando Ramos - 10-11-2011 RE: Who do you support for US President? - WilliamW - 10-12-2011 Survey says... 51% Don't Want Second Term For President Obama Perry is weak on immigration and Romney is a socialized medicine guy, so that leaves Cain and Bachmann as the true conservatives. Paul is an isolationist on foreign policy, or as he puts it, a "non-interventionist." Whatever you call it, this is a problem when the country is being attacked by foreign terrorists. There's a difference between "avoiding foreign entanglements" and protecting yourself. Palin would win if she ran, which is why the socialists fear her the most. The convention is still a ways off, so if a clear consensus isn't reached she might be back.

On the other hand, Obummer is running the illegal alien welcome wagon. Compare and contrast: Perry and O, age 22....

There's a difference between "avoiding foreign entanglements" and protecting yourself.Ron will never get the nomination. He is too much against the status quo. Keep in mind that he is opposed to the military industrial complex, the "war" on drugs and the existing corporate power structure which has contaminated government on all levels. I would dare say that he is the most libertarian of all candidates including Obama. This is why the elite will never let him get the nomination. I would guarantee that once he pulls ahead the corporate media will do their best to destroy him the way they did with Howard Dean. I would like to get back to the second part of my question, which is to say what candidate would best support academic freedom. In this respect I would say that Ron Paul seems to be the most opposed to the concept of uber government. RE: Who do you support for US President? - Virtual Bison - 01-19-2012 I would like to mention something else about Ron Paul. I believe that he just might be the only Republican who can get support among voters from all segments of American society. Consider that his anti-militaristic policies as well as his support of basic civil liberties will appeal to progressives, whereas his economic policies are rock solid conservative in nature. This may be why he joined with Dennis Kucinich in demanding the audit of the FED. It may also be why he is the only Republican candidate for US President demanding an immediate withdraw from Afghanistan. And Arch-Conservative pundit, Pat Buchanan described him as being "200 Proof" on conservative issues. I only like Paul because he seems to be most dedicated to the cause of individual liberties. I believe that he would undoubtedly support the cause of academic freedom, including the rights of non-traditional education institutions to exist. |
