I can't wait for Ron Paul to get the GOP nomination

So us and the media can start asking him the "hard" questions like:

Mr. Paul, you want to start off your Presidency by cutting AT LEAST 5 agencies of Govt, not to mention the Fed and other sectors, which basically means you want to start off your Presidency by laying off hundreds of thousands, possibly alot more people. And while doing so you would like to cut off unemployment benefits, welfare assistance, medicaid/medicare, and social security. And besides that, shut down the EPA which helps protect our environment, especially since most of the biggest polluters are in industrial middle to low income areas, gut workers rights, regulations against predation, etc etc ETC.

So Mr. Paul, I guess my question is, how can you say you love America when it's clear as day that you hate it's citizens? And is the reason you don't care if we all die, starve, rot all in the name of free-market capitalism because you live in a gated community far away from these horrific scenes of eventual mass homelessness and starvation, malnourished children, and ultra-violence? Or is it because you painted yourself into such an extreme ideological corner and won't dare admit you're completely wrong and full of shit, that you would rather WILLINGLY lay off all those hundreds of thousands of people AND cut off any means of them surviving, feeding their family, putting a nutritious meal in their child's belly's and a safe roof over their head?

Sure, POSSIBLY the under 30yr old employees MAY find work (MAYBE), but what about all of those 40+ who will be marginalized to a future of desperation, despair, and no job prospects, mostly due to you removing regulations against things like discrimination, ageism, race, etc. And the dismantling of social safety nets? So again Mr. Paul, why do you hate our citizens, seniors, poor, middle class, minorities, gays, women, disabled, workers, retirees, our environment, and most importantly our UNITY as a Nation?
