America's next president had better believe in restoring liberty

He won&#x27;t. Or she, as the case may be. Nobody who is really serious about restoring Liberty has a snowball&#x27;s chance in hell of getting elected.<p>The closest thing we have right now, to <i>any</i> kind of shot of getting somebody in the White House who will do more than pay lip service to fundamental issues of Liberty and Freedom, is Rand Paul. If he runs, he might have a shot, IF the mainstream GOP leadership don&#x27;t decide to go out of their way to marginalize him. If he somehow got the GOP nomination, I&#x27;d probably even pinch my nose shut and vote for him (voting for any Republican or Democrat typically gives me the creeps).<p>It&#x27;s bigger than the White House though... the President has some power, but if we want real change in this country, we have to elect congressmen &#x2F; congresswomen who believe in Liberty.<p>All of that said, as long as we elect using this first past the post &#x2F; single member district system, I&#x27;m pretty doubtful that we&#x27;re going to get much change. Switch to approval voting and&#x2F;or implement some sort of proportional representation and maybe...

Naive author. The president&#x27;s beliefs have no meaning. The only thing that is important is what the puppetmasters want.<p>This &quot;Dan&quot; fellow, author of the article, should be old enough to know this. On the other hand, if Dan wrote the truth he&#x27;d be fired.
