Political Contribution Season

My good friend Mike Marnell has sent an e-mail to his friends urging them to contribute to Ron Paul's presidential bid.  I also received a call from Michele Bachmann's campaign. As well, I have been very favorably impressed by Gary Johnson.  Johnson told me that he favors repeal of the legal tender law, which is close to favoring abolition of the Fed.  Paul favors abolition of the Fed. I'm not sure of Bachmann's position on the Fed, but I have heard that the legacy media hates her, which I verified by taking one look at the ridiculous spin that CBS calls news.  I don't get annoyed with the legacy media any more; I simply don't pay attention to it. (I never watch broadcast journalism, but might make an exception for Fox Business News's Judge Napolitano.)  Since CBS hates Bachmann, I am going to support her too.

I decided to kick off the 2012 presidential campaign by giving small donations to Paul, Johnson and Bachmann. I'm not ruling out support for the Libertarian Party, though.  I'm still not sure if a split government (Republican Congress, Democratic President) wouldn't be better than a Republican Congress and a Republican president given the Republicans' stupidity the last time around.   The problem, of course, is Obama's distasteful position on Israel and his insistence on destroying the American economy by inhibiting development of energy and other natural resources such as coal and oil.  Obama, a banker lackey, is even more corrupt than the Republicans were. Bush made a mess of the economy. Obama made the mess 50 times worse.   In other words, the Democrats are so bad that even a Wall Street marionette like Mitt Romney is better than an anti-Semitic Whig  like Obama.
