Explain how he is as inconsistent as the other candidates in his beliefs given his voting record in Congress. Also, given his stance on the wars, appropriations bills, and civil liberties. Oh and do please make sure that you reference the other candidates stances on the FED (as well as the other issues I mentinoned) in 2008. That way you can make it clear that he is as inconsistent as the other candidates. Who knows maybe you will make me a believer…………….
Assuming you will not be able to do that – and you will not….then we can talk about the real issue which is why there is a perception out there that he is unelectable. I think you will find it is NOT becasue he is inconsistent![/quote]
I gave you two glaring inconsistencies in his libertarian dogma. As compared to other candidates? No need, I already directed you to two inconsistencies. Do others have more? Michelle Bachmann, who I disagree with on many things, and think is incompetent to be president is reasonably consistent in her voting record. And her absolute looniness. I’m not convinced that either absolute consistency nor looniness is an asset.
I’ve explained why I think he’s unelectable. Obviously that is just my opinion. And I’ve explained why I think that. It has zero to do with his ideologies or political views. Why the perception is there, I could only surmise, but it is. His supporters point to the Iowa straw poll as evidence of his support. Really??? Less than 5,000 votes. LESS than 1% of Republican voters. Less than .4% of registered voters. He is unelectable because he has insufficient support, just as he did in his two prior presidential bids. As long as he is perceived as unelectable, he is unelectable.
