Considering Mitt Romney's apparent inability to give a straight answer on anything, from his taxes to his investments and employment history etc, how long do you think he'll be in office before he's accused out of office by Ryan/Boehner/Rove/et al? Ryan is far more Romney than Romney on almost all issues, and our president would be standing in the way of Ryan's plan to gut the last and by far biggest differences between USA and Communist China with regard to government provided benefits. IMO Ryan is the personification of multinational treason.

Anyway, I can see the problem already and clearly in the above commentary, and they're not even elected yet.

2. What makes you think they're going to be elected?

5. When they start attacking the post office

because they can't deal with the message, it does not bode well for fair/free elections this November (and after, if the American people are dumb enough to return control of the House or WH to these traitors).

And for anyone who might care, I define treason as a president (Nixon) who took our country off the gold standard in 1971 and "opened the gates to China" (who btw had just finished providing most of the munitions to put 58,000 of our 19 year-olds to death in Vietnam), and ever since, our corporate tax code has rewarded U.S. companies for exporting our jobs to Communists who dictate the value of their own currency. The end result seen now (China sits on something around $8 trillion between their USD and T-notes, while we're $16 trillion in debt with no plan even in theory to repay it) was both inevitable and predictable.

6. I'm hopeful we'll prevail. Not 100% positive, but I haven't conceded yet. :-)

7. Gold standard???

Seriously?

10. You need to tune into reality. China holds about $1 Trillion, our entire foreign debt is

around half of what you think just China holds.

Taking us off the gold standard was not treason. It was a modernization which made, and still makes, sense. Trading precious metals worked great a couple of thousand years ago but doesn't work so well in this complex multi-national economy.


Nixon also took the precaution of insuring that all the oil on the international market is traded using U.S. dollars. In a strange way this means that our currency is still backed up by something material. Oil. Clearly, this was not treason.

^snip^

As of August 2012, debt held by the public was approximately $11.21 trillion and intra-governmental debt was $4.78 trillion, giving a combined total public debt of $15.99 trillion[4] or about 103% of GDP. As of February 2012, $5.1 trillion or approximately 50% of the debt held by the public was owned by foreign investors, the largest of which were China and Japan at just over $1 trillion each.



P.S. There is an old Vulcan saying "Only Nixon could go to China".

12. American 19 year olds would not...

11. There is a creative speculation forum.

If you really think that this is some big conspiracy to bait and switch us into electing Rmoney and then forcing him out so Ryand can be President then that is where this should be posted.
