Let's Get Political
I support Ron Paul. Those of you who know who he is probably know that he's a Republican candidate. Forget about that for now, I'll get to that in a second. First let me give you a little rundown of what he stands for:
He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
-
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
-
He voted against the Iraq war.
He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.
He doesn't sound like the other candidates with canned answers that are designed to not really say anything. He sounds like a guy who has just had enough of the bullshit and wants to see a real change.
It would be worth your time to spare the 7 or so minutes to watch the youtube video and check out his website.

wow. i have made a conscious decision not to vote. ever. in my life. not because i'm lazy or apolitical, but because it is my statement against the faux-democracy we are a part of. there is a guy in the clip holding a sign that said "Dr. Paul cured my apathy". as propagandized and politically motivated as that clip was, it made me think for moment that i should vote... then i came to my senses
oh yeah, it is designed to make you want to fight to the death for this guy. I admit that I got a little caught up in its drama, but I liked Dr. Paul before I saw the video, so it was more of a RE-awakening.
While anyone's ONE vote is entirely meaningless, I feel a sense of duty to support a non-douchebag.
