Dina Gusovsky of Russia Today, and a friend of mine, did an interview with Ron Paul. I’m a little jealous. Dr. Paul discusses libertarian views and faith in the free markets. As usual Ron Paul is amongst the few people in D.C. speaking with any intelligence.

My position on guns and gun laws is simple. An individual has the right to own anything they want as long as it does not intrude on the property rights of another individual.
I went into the debate expecting a meltdown of epic proportions for Sarah Palin. She has been unable to put together coherent sentences in interviews in the past weeks. One would naturally assume that this debate was going to be the equivalent of a goat heading to slaughter. If you watched the debate, you would know that it wasn’t the case. I once again viewed this year’s Presidential debates from Pace University’s Schimmel Theater in New York City where almost everyone was an Obama supporter.

The first of 4 Presidential debates took place today and I watched most of it at Pace University in New York City. It was a very pro-Obama crowd as one would expect at a university in New York. I am against both of these parties because neither of them are speaking any sense and that was on display at the debate. I may have been the only person in support of a third-party candidate at the event.

I hate all kinds of central planning. I love free markets. The actions of the United States government in this past week and in the past months since our financial system have started its collapse has been the definition of socialism. Our politicians keep telling us that this is a necessary evil. It has to be done in order to protect our savings, our money, our economy. The reality is that they are destroying our savings, our money and our economy.

Instead of going to the voting booth in November and picking between a giant douche or a turd sandwich, go and vote for an independent candidate who is really about change.

It was just a matter of time before Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac became nationalized. Secretary Henry Paulson had pledged the full faith of the United States government behind these two bankrupt institutions to try and calm investor’s fears. Fannie and Freddie lost over 90% of its stock value since the beginning of the year and is holding onto at least a trillion dollars in bad mortgages–$5 trillion in total mortgages.

This might be premature–by definition it is–but, the Democrats have squandered a chance handed to them on a silver platter to put themselves in the Oval Office. With the horrible decisions that the Bush administration has made in the last 7 years, who was going to vote for more Republican control? Comparing the candidates of the two parties during the primaries made it almost crystal clear that the Democrats had the strongest candidates and the strongest candidate: Hillary Clinton.

I like having political debates and discussions. I live in New York so liberal thought dominates the political conversation in this town. From all the people who I’ve talked to about politics who consider themselves liberal or progressive, I have concluded that they mean well.
McCain has a picked his VP and it was a shocker to me. Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska, is the running mate for John McCain. The first thing I thought was, “he picked a woman”. Strategically, I think this is a pretty good move for the Republicans. I initially thought McCain wouldn’t stand a snowflake in hell of a chance against Obama. As the political process went on, they got more and more similar. Now our choice is between young minority and experienced politician or experienced politician and young minitory.
