In 2012, probably 70% or more Americans want out of Afghanistan and yet the delegates to select the next President are 98% for pro-War candidates. What the hell does that say? Kucinich, who respected peace and civil liberties, gets thrown on his ass by a pro-War labor union Democratic hack.

Here is an interesting essay on the ILLUSION of DEMOCRACY:

Well, I voted and I can be proud that 40% of the vote of the state of Jefferson and Henry went to a pro-freedom candidate.

I’m skeptical of the concept, but on the off chance it happens, I’d be willing to root for Romney/Paul to get Rand into the White House. (Note that I said “root”. I will not vote for Romney, regardless of running mate.)

Frankly, without his $300 million personal and Mormon Millionaire buddy war chest, Mitt would not be amassing his delegates. The only hopeful sign is that Ron Paul took the under 35 voters.

Anti-war & anti_Patriot Act Dennis Kucinich got wiped out in his redistricted Democratic primary – so he will have to be consoled by his pretty wife who is almost as good looking as his former student government President (my late wife!).

Not sure whether Rand can meld the Melt-Iran Agribusiness Warmongers and freedom loving people into a functioning coalition (Reagan sort of did but he spent his energy on the Evil Commies and not the homegrown Socialist-Facists)… we shall see in 2016. Romney has the popular appeal of a robot and will probably lose to the Messiah this year.

They like the wars, the spending, the currency debasement, drones, gate-rape, and the entire security state apparatus.

To paraphrase Mencken, they’re going to get it good and hard.
