Rand's Support of Romney Raising Questions About Ron Paul
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
Senator Rand Paul, son of libertarian figure U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, recently endorsed Mitt Romney. The GOP nominee is known for supporting the banker bailouts, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, his push for bigger government and his about bombing Iran. Now many of Ron Paul supporters were horrified by the announcement, but this should come as a surprise.
I don't think Ron Paul ever intended to win the race. His campaign schedule was never as packed as Romney. In fact, Paul's schedule was light in 2008 when McCain need some political cover.
In 2012, Ron Paul provided cover for Romney in the debates and now he's dialing down the campaign, because the true objective has been fulfilled. The man never campaigned like a guy who wanted to win. I think Paul ran for president to support his son's political career. I think he used the Alex Jones base to promote his son and ultimately create a political place for his son. Ron Paul's job in 2012 was to help Romney and then his son would have a secure place in the party. Paul attracted the criticisms of the socially conservative and neo con candidates while Romney flew under the radar.
After Santorum endorsed Romney, Paul was asked when he was going to endorse Romney and his response was..."Well, I'm still thinking about that. Not soon because..."
Not soon? How can a supposed libertarian even think about endorsing Romney?
Here are some more questions, but these are aimed at the people who still support Ron Paul.
Do you think Paul was endorse Romney without his father's approval? Don't you think it's odd that Ron Paul has been so quiet on his son's endorsement of Romney? Don't you think it was strange how Paul provided cover for Romney doing the debates? Don't you think it's odd that Paul never campaign aggressively and challenged Romney more in key states? Don't you think it's odd that Paul never as a third party candidate? Don't you think it's odd that when Ron Paul was asked about endorsing Romney, his response was "Well, I'm still thinking about that. Not soon because."
Not soon? That's odd.

The Elites Are Dumping Obama?
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
Although, Obama has done everything that the globalist bankers wanted, his usefulness is wearing thin. The nation's supposedly first black president did his job. He supported the criminal bankers and continued the empire warmongering agenda while pacifying the poor blacks, Latinos, dwindling middle class, the struggling working class and restless youth.
In his term as President, Obama has expanded the war in Afghanistan, protected the Bush tortures, supported the banker bailouts, signed the renewal of the Patroit Act, signed NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) which allows the military to indefinitely detain people without a charge or trial and used drones to kill supposed terror suspects (and innocent people) in Yemen and Pakistan. He has essentially conditioned the once "anti-war" left to accept and defend fascism and empire-building.
Now, I think the globalists are really to implode the world economy. Europe isn't being rescued by a Chinese knight. Even Obama's own government economist are allowing him to look back. The recent jobs numbers were embarrassing.
US economy added 69K jobs in May, fewest in a year
What's interesting is that although Romney is in a tie with Obama (or slightly lagging behind, there's a lot of money moving in his direction. Romney is starting to raise more money than Obama. A lot more. In May, Romney raised $77 million compared to Obama's $60 million.
Romney raised $77 million in May, outperforming Obama effort for first time
And it gets more interesting.
Obama had 250,000 more donors than Romney and the GOP candidate relived a lot more money from his pool of supporters. Both candidates support a neo-con philosophy and a corporalist ideology. Although, their words vary, their actions on the most important issues are the same. I think the elite maybe ditching the faux-liberal uniter with a faux conservative hell-bent on starting World War 3 by bombing Iran.

Unemployment Rising? Really?
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
The Labor Department declared that unemployment rose in May 2012 and I couldn't care less. They've been under-counting unemployment by making jobless people out of the labor force for over two years. But as the media reports the official unemployment number rising to 8.2%, manufacturing in the United Kingdom is falling. Even U.S. manufacturing is slowing down.
Manufacturing sector growth wanes in May: ISM
The Head of World Bank (Robert Zoellick) is carrying a more alarming tone.
"‘Events in Greece could trigger financial fright in Spain, Italy and across the eurozone. The summer of 2012 offers an eerie echo of 2008. If Greece leaves the eurozone, the contagion is impossible to predict, just as Lehman had unexpected consequences."
Let me be more direct! Get your house in order! No one knows just how bad this is going to get!
