I've seen him described as a "neo-confederate conservative Christian". I assume mentioning his religion means he would tilt government in that direction. No theocratic dominionism for me, thanks. I've heard that Gary Johnson is more libertarian that Paul, but I know little about him. All of which doesn't matter anyway, since I will not be voting in the Republican primaries. I might not vote in the national elections because of the lack of choices. If I do show up and flash my ID for the right to fill in a bubble, I might just pick third party candidates as a protest vote. <br /><br />The word verification for this post is "mystorm" which fits perfectly this election cycle.Joynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10694316.post-70719388673756582922011-12-28T15:18:51.327-08:002011-12-28T15:18:51.327-08:00If Ron Paul runs an independent campaign for prez,...If Ron Paul runs an independent campaign for prez, I actually might vote for him for the reasons you mentioned.

He's not ideal, but it seems like our best shot and can beat Obama and the other Republican's. He's the only candidate who's strictly anti-war and wants to revive our civil liberties lost to the war on terror. The establishment (the 1%) is very afraid of him and thats a good sign for the rest of us.KaiWenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15807115279983591853noreply@blogger.com
