Posted at The Liberty Crier:
We didn’t see a debate tonight. We saw two slightly differing versions of defending the Republican and Democrat status quo that has given us war after war after war, a $16 trillion debt, and a government that is the answer to everything.
Nowhere was there a real plan for reducing government, balancing the budget any time in the foreseeable future, or a path that will actually put Americans back to work.
We heard two politicians arguing over which of their plans for government-run health care is less bad. We heard fantasies about balancing the budget while not reducing Medicare costs.
Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are nibbling around the edges of the nation’s problems. We don’t have time to nibble — we need to devour them.
Americans deserve real debates and a voice who will actually tell the truth about what it will take to put this great nation back on track.
It’s their answer to everything. That does not mean it is the correct answer or one that works.
From the press release above:
“a government that is the answer to everything.”
Please try to be more careful with your phrasing. Try something like:
“a government that pretends to be the answer to everything.”
“a government that poses itself as the answer to everything.”
“a government that deceives the public into accepting it as the answer to everything.”
“a government that promises magical solutions to all of our nation’s problems.”
… for surely you don’t believe that the government actually IS the answer to everything, although some may assume that’s what you meant.
From Ron Nielson:
Friends,
Last night, there was one candidate for president whose followers on Twitter increased by 7,000.
There was one candidate who had so many people trying to watch him that it overloaded Google+.
One candidate didn’t have to try to explain his plan for government-run health care – because he doesn’t have one, and never had one. He doesn’t think government should even try to run health care. If you agree, go to http://www.garyjohnson2012.com right now and show your support.
There was even a candidate who didn’t claim he would balance the budget without cutting Medicare spending or reducing federal education dollars. He was the candidate actually telling the truth.
And that same candidate for president didn’t dance around questions about taxes. He’s the only candidate who isn’t afraid to offend the beneficiaries of crony capitalism and the tax code it loves.
The candidate who WON last night was Gov. Gary Johnson – and he wasn’t even allowed on the stage. He wasn’t allowed on the stage for the very same reason that he won. He told the truth, and the Republicans and Democrats didn’t want any truth being told on the stage they had bought and paid for. Truth hurts when you’ve presided over too many wars we don’t need to fight, racking up a $16 trillion debt, and putting millions of Americans out of work. But if you agree that the truth needs to be heard, go to http://www.garyjohnson2012.com and help America hear it!
We’re still fighting to get Gov. Johnson the podium he deserves for the next debates. Three sponsors of the debates have already pulled out after hearing from tens of thousands of Americans who have finally figured out the system is rigged – and we’re just getting started.
But in the meantime, Gov. Johnson will NOT be silenced. Last night, tens of thousands of people watched his on-line commentary and responses as Barack Obama and Mitt Romney nibbled around the edges of problems that must be devoured. And even the media is paying attention. Since yesterday, Larry King, Fox Business, Alex Jones and even Mike Huckabee have given Gov. Johnson the chance to speak that the so-called Debate Commission refuses to give him.
Liberty, truth, and bold ideas add up to a message that can’t be silenced forever. But it is a message that needs your help now in order to make a real difference in November. Please go to http://www.garyjohnson2012.com today and make a contribution that will broadcast the truths the Republicans and Democrats don’t want America to hear.
We are on the move and climbing fast. Don’t let our momentum fade. Your contribution will keep us on the path to making history in 33 days.
Thank you.
