I want Ron Paul back....without the isolationist stance though. |
So... which is it? He HAS no platform, or his platform is too expensive?
If you really think about it, both can't be true. And as a matter of fact, this whole idea that Barack Obama hasn't been specific about what he'll do as President is just more media-manufactured nonsense that fits into their preferred narrative of "innocence vs. experience." Obama has, as just one example, released an extremely detailed health care reform plan. As someone who lives in the U.S. I can tell you that health care reform should be this country's TOP priority moving forward. I don't agree with Obama's plan--it's less radical than the "blow it up and start over" method that I favour--but at least he's participating in the conversation about what is America's most important issue right now.
McCain? Bupkis. That tells you all you need to know, IMO. The reason his proposals are so cheap is that he hasn't made any. In fact, he's guilty of the very thing you accuse Obama of.
