So what you will about Ron Paul, he's sure as hell not owned by the MIC or any special interests. He's not afraid to tell it how it is, consequences be damned. Obama, and pretty much all major politicians have sold their power to the corporations, special interests, and anyone that will keep them in power. The true TEA Party centered around Ron Paul, before it was completely subverted by the Sarah Palin and the neocon right. It's time for We The People to take this country back... but unfortunately all of the sheeple out there are clueless. They don't care about anything but what directly concerns them, not realizing that what concerns the rest of the country will eventually concern them as well. They believe what the news media tells them to believe --- whether it be coming from the left via MSNBC, CNN, NPR, etc., or the right via Fox News and talk radio. They'd sooner just trust what they're told rather than to do their own research. From the hardcore environmentalists all the way to the religious right; by and large, none of them really bother to look into the issues and the candidates themselves. The Republicans and Democrats are simply different sides of the same coin, they're owned by the same people, the same interests, the MIC, etc. Ron Paul, and others like him, symbolize a completely different direction; one that hasn't been bought by the corporations. It's just too bad people have their blinders on and are unwilling to see the truth.
 
I don't feel like the Obama characterization is a fair one. It's just a politicized poster to win an election. I believe Obama is making decisions based on what he thinks is the best for the situation, not simply pandering to Big Corporations and the MIC. You need to have a W. Bush image replacing him, then it would fit. Obama did not start this mess, but he appears unable to finish it on a timely basis.

of course you would find the characterization unfair. You are a died in the wool liberal that gags when it comes to finding fault with democrats. A good leader changes course when things tried do not work. A fool keeps trying to do the same thing over and over again that does not work. Obama was a pretty speaker with no substance and no background to deal with being a president. But enough lackies bought into the hope and change bullshit to get him elected. Just one of many recent cases where it was more of a vote against somebody versus a vote to support somebody when it comes down to it. McCain was a lousy candidate that never should have made it that far. It was a cake walk to beat him.
 
Obama is unfortunately a corporate shill just like Bush. Paul is the best thing the right has - I don't agree with a lot of what he believes, but he seems to be outside the lobbyists reach, which makes him better than the rest. I'd consider voting for Paul, but none of those other Republicans.
 
I'll say this. Ron is the ONLY politician I've ever heard say on the 'campaign trail' (2008) that he COULDN'T guarantee that he wouldn't be assimilated into the sold-out status quo if he were elected President.

That's honesty I can appreciate. It's also a sober reminder of just how deeply entrenched the pit of soldoutness is. BOTH sides of the aisle.

You beat me to it, John. There's no appreciable difference between Bush & Obama.
