Yes what I am doing is a protest vote, but I am also REFUSING to support 'more of the same'. Why should YOU support more of the same if you don't like it?
And Ron Paul is more of a traditional Republican, the party left him. He is a Goldwater Republican, and politics does NOT have to be lesser of 2 evils if YOU WORK TO CHANGE IT.
Good point, but Ron Paul has a 20+ year voting record of NOT towing the GOP party line. He is principled and does not change his mind pending the political winds. In fact he even broke from the GOP in 1989. Obama at this point has no such record.
The duopoly of the Democrats and Republicans have ballot access laws (and yes even the media) stacked in their favor. Ross Perot with his BILLIONS of dollars could not gain ballot access in all 50 states.
And even members of those two parties who do not tow the party line are completely blacklisted as evidenced by the recent primary elections.
I will be working within the GOP to return it back to more of a libertarian organization, however I will not be voting for any Republicans more than likely at least for a very very very long time.
I don't pretend to be an economist so I honestly don't understand all of the ramifications of the gold standard. However one thing it WILL do is to help keep the inflation tax under control.
And yes there are some parts of the Constitution that should be changed I agree. But that's what the amendment process is for.
Ron Paul is a DIFFERENT kind of Republican. If you had ever researched anything he had to say you would quickly realize there. Here is a good starting point: http://ronpaullibrary.org/
I am not saying Ron Paul will win. In fact I know he won't.
My point is that one definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again yet expecting a different result. There is barely any difference between the Demirubs and Republicrats.
I will not be voting for Obama, Hillary, or McCain. We will get the SAME THING with all of the above. Instead I'm voting for none of the above; either the Libertarian Party candidate, the Constitution Party candidate, or I'll write in US Congressman Dr Ron Paul.
If more people would refuse to vote for more of the same, then we might actually get politicians with integrity that follow and uphold the rule of law.
This could get VERY interesting (as if it hasn't been already) if both Nader and Bloomberg both run as separate 3rd parties. Since both are liberals it might divide up the Democrat vote enough to give a win to McCain (who is also a liberal).
For those of us who want smaller government, lower spending, less taxes, individual rights, personal liberties and freedoms, etc we don't have a choice anymore:-(

No I don't read Digg very often but I hear there are a lot of Ron Paul supporters on there.

Obviously you are an ignorant troll and have NOT research Ron Paul's position or voting record. See my signature for a start.

Yes, because following the Constitution is SUCH a bad idea?!?!? *rolling eyes*
Would you care to elaborate on your point?
Ron Paul is not a racist. I don't know why you think he is. That has been refuted MANY times over. Do some research.
No where in the US Constitution is the federal government allowed to regulate the Constitution.
Yep that's right. America needs a second party.

What about power laces and self drying/fitting clothes?
That should be here by 2025, right?
McCain is pro abortion.
He is also pro spending
Pro taxation.
And anti-free speech (McCain/Fiengold anyone?)
Exactly how is McCain conservative?
Let's see -
McCain will increase spending
McCain will not seal the border
McCain will grant amnesty
McCain will not lower taxes.
How exactly is he conservative?
Yes - I wont be voting for the Democrats or John McCain. They are all whores. Ron Paul was the only one who was any different.
My vote will go to the Constitution Party, the Libertarian Party, or I'll write-in Ron Paul's name.
Several Ron Paul Republicans are looking to run for Congress....
These guys are worth considering.
Especially Murrary Sabrin running for the Senate:

Yup - don't blame me, I voted for Ron Paul. :-)
We need a 2nd party before we can have a 3rd of 4th party. Right now the Democrats and the Republicans are one in the same.
I think that US Congressman Dr. Ron Paul should be recognized as someone who votes against government intrusion into our lives.
That makes two of us!
They are called the CANF and you are correct, every candidate is subject to their lobby.
Check them out.
Yes it's called the CANF.
Look it up
You should read the book "Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution". It's a fascinating read on the very subject you are discussing.
