Lyndon LaRouche and Ron Paul on the same page? Have you even looked at their positions? Ron Paul has never been and never will be a LaRouche! Paul is pro-individual responsibility. He is anti Big Government! How does this make him a LaRouche? On top of that Ron Paul has been elected to office for 20 years. He even resigned his seat and came back 12 years later and won it back!
Libertarians believe that the individual should take responsibility for their actions. This means that the lenders who did not properly vet the loans they made should pay for making those loans. This also means that those borrowers who submitted false information to get those loans should lose their houses. In most cases, it was the lenders who were at fault; but a large portion of the defaulters were also at fault, and they should pay the consequences. Greed has a lot more to do with the housing crisis of today than libertarian principles, and a large part of that greed can be laid at the foot of lenders.

Has Ron Paul Quit?

You know, I am surprised people think that McCain supports torture, when he has steadfastly opposed it in all his speeches. During the debates he has said water boarding is torture and should be stopped. This is something he has always stood for. McCain has always believed in shrinking government spending, and with such shrinkage, smaller taxes. He is not a tax and spend liberal. He, also, is not a Goldwater clone. He is the best candidate to be Commender-In-Chief of the US Armed Forces, the only position that the President is effective at.
