Ron Paul 2012

I have written two posts discussing the reasons I believe Herman Cain would make a good choice as president in the next election. I cannot however say that he is the only good choice. Ron Paul, who is again running for the Republican nominee, is another good choice for president. Ron Paul brings experience and integrity to his campaign. The experience comes from 3 different terms in congress as a representative of Texas, the integrity comes from the simple fact that he says what he means and means what he says. That fact is a big reason why many do not take him seriously. I mean what is the point of having an 'honest' politician? Right?

Ron Paul is one of the very few honest politicians we have. When he says he is going to do something, he does it. When he says he believes in something, he doesn't just say that to get votes, he really believes it. This is truly an oxymoron when you hear the term 'politician'.

One of the biggest reasons Ron Paul is dismissed by many in the main stream is because of his so called 'isolationist' views. However, his views are not truly isolationist. A true isolationist wants America to have nothing to do with any other country period. Ron Paul wants to continue friendships and trading with all the nations we can. His opponents call him an isolationist because he wants to bring all our troops home from every country they are stationed in and shut down all overseas bases. He also wants to stop us from fighting everyone's wars for them. I personally see this as a great thing for the American people and the American military. Ron Paul still wants to have a powerful military, he just doesn't believe we need to have troops stationed in every country to do so. The money saved from shutting down all the bases over seas alone, will help to strengthen our military and make a huge dent into the debt we have incurred over centuries.

I see Ron Paul as another excellent choice for president. He has experience running his own business as a private practitioner in Texas. He also understands economics and the way money works. He has studied Ludwig von Mises and many other Austrian economists. Also F. A. Hayek, who discussed the dangers of socialism in "The Road To Serfdom." Ron Paul knows that the path this country is on today has been followed many times before and always ended up in tragedy for the nations involved.

I personally would love to see a Ron Paul/Herman Cain ticket, or visa-verse. Either one would make a great president and either one would make a great vice-president.

Is Herman Cain a good choice?

Herman Cain, a GOP Presidential hopeful, has made a lot of noise in the last month and has risen rapidly to be one of the top contenders in recent polls. With all of this said is he a good choice for president?

I would have to say yes.

Herman Cain, former CEO of Godfathers Pizza, former Vice President of Pillsbury and former regional Vice President of Burger King, has been a successful business manager. He has taken under performing and failing businesses and made them profitable. Through all this Cain has learned how to cut expenditures without cutting quality to increase profitability and keep the public coming back. In short he understands how to make business work.

In these troubled times that America is facing, with record deficits, high unemployment, skyrocketing national debt and the possibility of it all getting worse looming on the horizon, I believe that Herman Cain is the right choice to send to Washington D.C. With his experience in business he will be able to cut deficits and trim programs that do not work or are costing more than they should.

Herman Cain's plans for America are simple, yet can be very effective. Simply put he believes in cutting back excessive regulations on businesses, cutting the tax burden for "all" Americans, not just a select class, reforming entitlement programs to coincide with America in the 21st century, supporting the military with any and all equipment and training necessary to get the job done and win, giving real support to the veterans who have served our country bravely and sacrificed and cutting the size of government to what it is supposed to be by returning many powers back to the states that the federal government never should of had in the first place.
