A vote for Ron Paul to "send a message" is a vote for the Democrats.
Right, because the Neo-Con republicans are doing a whole hell of a lot better? Go with Democrats we welcome Socialized
Medi Welfa Educa everything, go with Republicans and we end up with the whole give us your liberties and we will protect you schpeal. Welfare state or endless unnecessary wars who's only purpose is to encourage fear and strip liberties. Either way it will lead us to tyranny.
So you know what, I will vote for Ron Paul. I will go to my state's primary and be a delegate for him. I know the idea of currency actually having value is scary. Or the notion that you should only go to war when your country's defense actually requires it is unconceivable. Or how about the belief that people should be responsible for their own welfare and that governments purpose is extremely limited, that we don't need departments of education and other bloated bureaucracies because local governments can take care of those issues much more efficiently and with better representation.
Call him what ever you want, I could really care less. Call him crazy, because if Hillary and Rudy McRomney are the normal ones, I'll vote for the crazy man in a heartbeat.
