I am not claiming this is an ideal way to go about things – only that it’s currently the best way. Obama, for example, I believe can do good things for this country even if he has policies that I don’t agree with. McCain and Clinton can not.

So while Paul is my ideal candidate from a policy perspective, I actually do consider what would happen if someone were to be elected (gasp). Paul has almost no support outside of the intellectual elite in this country; he’s basically a progressive at this point. So him being in office is not ideal to me regardless of how ideal I feel his positions are.

I could be being totally naive here, but I don’t think so. When someone is genuinely virtuous the policies really do matter less — especially when one of the major issues facing our country is that of how the world views us. That kind of thing is not a matter of policy, but rather one of personal character.

Look at who is advising Obama! Zbigniew Brzezinski of all people! Keep in mind that Zbig chose Obama, it wasn’t the other way around!

Voting for Obama is voting for MORE OF THE SAME! Saying otherwise just shows that you haven’t done your homework.

I’m writing in Ron Paul’s name for this election and every election thereafter. Unless we get another candidate who mirrors Paul’s ideals and political philosophy. Honestly, how could you vote for any other candidate besides Ron Paul?!?

So, presumably all roads paid for by a gas tax or tolls. All other infrastructure paid for ONLY by those who use it and not by those who benefit only indirectly.

I think my parents may vote democrat for the first time in decades — that is, unless Hillary gets the nomination.

It really sucks when an election comes down to voting for the lesser of the two (or more) evils instead of voting for who you really want to see in office. I was positively sick when I went to the polls 4 years ago all ready to close my eyes and poke the screen, but I was saved at the last minute by a Libertarian candidate that I’d never heard of before.

A wasted vote? Well, yeah, but I couldn’t bring myself to vote for either of the other two fuckwads.

I still don’t think Obama is an ideal candidate, but he’s got more going for him than any of the other hopefuls.

Le sigh… maybe there will be another nameless (or not-so-nameless — fingers crossed) Libertarian candidate with no chance on the ballet this year, but if there isn’t I’ll settle for Obama.
