And to the Republic for Which It Stands

Very much I agree with your sentiments, but your use of 'republic' made me sorrowful. To counter the USSR in 1950, Harry Truman resorted to Red Menace tactics to scare the Americans into profligate military spending. We lost our Republic to the lobbyists and the big spenders. The Republican candidates cringe at anything critical of the Administration. Cynically, the Democrats anticipate huge political gains from the defeat of our military and the collapse of our economy.
I would like to see a face off between Ron Paul and Barack Obama. Both men with a positive agenda for the country, we would win no mtter which man won.
This would recall 1952 Dwight David Eisenhower versus Adlai E Stevenson.
