But that is not happening at the present moment. Without getting into the causality argument because it is too soon for it, current economic indicators are showing a glimmer of hope for the forseable future.
Plus I think a great part of the American public welcomes a more cerebral and considered approach to world affairs than the saber rattling of the last eight years.
As long as the Republican party is led by the likes of Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter, Gingrich, and those of their ilk, it ain't going nowhere.
You can only fear monger, incite, and divide for so long before people stop taking you seriously and see you as a mere caricature of yourself.

Fear mongering? As in, "We must pass this TARP bill or else we will face catastrophe!" ?
wiki
The authority of the United States Department of the Treasury to establish and manage TARP under a newly created Office of Financial Stability became law October 3, 2008, the result of an initial proposal that ultimately was passed by Congress as H.R. 1424, enacting the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 and several other acts.
On October 14, 2008, Secretary of the Treasury Paulson and President Bush separately announced revisions in the TARP program.

Barack Obama is riding high in the polls, despite some very bad-for-America decisions he has made. He has nationalized the auto industry and the banks.

As I recall back in September when those measures/bailouts were taken, Bush Jr was still in office. Under the Bush administration, it was decided which banks were going to make it and which banks were to be closed down (Lehman Brothers...) And lets not forget The Bush Administration Overpaid $78 Billion to Banks in Bail Out Not that I support Obama or what he stands for, there ain't much difference between the Dems or GOP for they are of the same filth, but to blame someone who wasn't even in office for all the wrongs that was done, is ridiculous

He should get the blame also. You fail to realize He was in the senate and voted for these same bail outs that everyone is so up in arms about. I don't know why bush gets so much of the blame especially since all he does is sign a piece of paper just like everyone else in congress and the senate.
In my opinion any congressman or senator that votes on any unconstitutional piece of legislation deserves just as much blame as the next guy.
its about time we kept redneck hill billies out of politics. Why dont you just go back to your stupid farms and your stinkin ass swamps

We could all take action, everyone here on ATS who would think Ron Paul would be a fit candidate could start a nationwide campaign?

Yes ...
- if the press actually starts reporting the truth instead of propaganda.
- if the republicans put forth a viable candidate (McCain wasn't) such as Jindal or Crist.

and it was. Jso.... Whatever was just saying how McCain didnt allow the use of Obama's middle name. Oh yeah that is excellent ammunition against him. Clearly what the original poster is trying to say is that we need to put MORE fear into peoples hearts by using name association.
