Republican Race

Clear an hour: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eb1n1X0Oqdw&feature=pyv&ad=5414294194&kw=inflation

Now, this is good stuff. It all makes sense too. Imagine if this happened.
No one is expecting it. This would cause so much instability in the U.S. alone.

After watching this, I look at the Senate race here in Kentucky. Rand Paul is a supporter of lowering the debt, going as far to get rid of the Federal Reserve. Trey Grayson is the other Republican running for the same position and is supported by high ranking Republicans like Senator Mitch McConnell and Former Vice President Dick Cheney.

I personally think that both candidates are well qualified for the position and would do great in Washington. We need someone who will be able to cut debt. I think I am pegging Paul for the win. He has the support of the Tea Party and that alone is enough to get him elected. I am still conflicted and have to do some more research before I decide which candidate I will support.
