There is truth in this statement, but honest to God... I'm so sick of all of us (myself included) being conditioned to the point of where we feel like we have to hedge our bets on something like electing officials.

We sit here and say something like 'he's the best man for this job, but he'll never win' or 'I agree with this candidate on almost everything, but there is one key issue holding me back...'. Honestly, where does this bullshit in our psyche come from?

I swear to God, if the entire country did nothing but watch the debates and see NO other 'news', we would end up with the best man for the job every single time. Why? Because the candidates would start basing their responses on their own principals and they would deliver without any fear of what the spin machine would do do it in the following days,weeks, etc.

This is why I'm still a Paul fan. He has been a straight shooter from the get-go, but if Newt keeps dropping logic bombs like this, I might switch pretty damn quick.

Thanks for posting the vid, you conservative hillbilly!
