And, it is my humble opinion that a write-in vote is a wasted trip to the polls as well as a concession to the other side. Look at what happened when the Republicans lost control of the House and Senate last election.
I believe the man with 2 first names is the best hope this country has at the moment...........unfortunately, I also think he'll be done in by "the machine". I don't honestly think he'll ever get the Republican nomination..................................................................................................but we can still write him in!!!!!
REALLY? :shock:
:agree:
I can't believe it!
Did somebody hack into Mud's computer?
I'm a bit confused.... you would support Ron Paul. You say you like his belief in adhering to the US Constitution. You like his foreign policy mentality. You like his economic philosophy including ending the IRS.Yeah, it may seem hard to believe...........but perhaps it's 'cause you've all "labeled" me as something I'm not. You know what they say about "assuming"!:lol: :lol: I'm not a "liberal", I'm not a "conservative", I'm not a "Democrat", nor am I a "Republican", I'm not "left" (although I AM left-handed), and I'm not "right". I'm just another American working man pizzed off at the way this country has headed. And a lot of what Ron Paul speaks of strikes a chord with me. He's very passionate about the Constitution, very passionately against the mistake (oops, war) in Iraq, and wants to do away with the IRS. Can't argue with any of those.
Brings to mind one of my favorite bumper stickers........."If 10% is good enough for God, it should be good enough for the IRS!!"
I'm actually leaning toward Obama not in spite of his lack of experience, but BECAUSE of his lack of experience. I don't want to see another 4 (or "8" - why do I get a smiley for the number eight???) years of the same old BS we've been living under for the last 20 years or more. Our government lost touch with the people long, long ago. Nothing but a bunch of self-serving, rich, lawyer b*s*rds......................what worries me is that lately Obama has been sounding just the same. It's all a crap shoot anyway, and it appears this election will just be another "lesser of the evils" deal. But if Ron Paul would miraculously gain momentum and actually look like he could win, he could actually get my useless vote.
They actually let me write this from my cell in Guantanamo,

Then how... why.... would you even consider a guy like Barack Hussein Obama? They are at complete opposite ends of the spectrum on how they perceive our country should be governed. Ron Paul believes in small government, fiscal responsibility, freedom, liberty, and the opportunity of success through freedom and hard work. Obama, although we have little to go on in his small amount of actual government work, consistantly stumps about government saving this, government doing that. Ban the guns. Obama is big government, less personal responsibility and more governmental dependancy. He's about making more laws and spending more money. His foreign policy is full of political double speak - bring the boys from Iraq home but I'd attack Iran in a second if... He is willing to ignore liberty in the interest of perceived safety. He is willing to replace opportunity with entitlement. Under Obame, the IRS will flourish.
Sorry, I just don't see how those two men could be a viable candidate to the same person.
If my vote ends up as a throw away vote, so be it. It is after all, MY vote. Voting mainstream is an option I cannot take.
Ron Paul, at this point, has my vote. He does have baggage, though. There is some well documented instances of prejudice and bigotry in hiw past. I am assuming he has grown past that.
As long as he remains a constitutionalist, I am voting for him!
