Here's Ron Paul on CNN, pretty much explaining why I would vote for him if given the opportunity. He's not some party hack, like every other candidate that has entered the ring so far. He is honest, doesn't spin to win and respects the range of the BOR unlike both democrats and republicans who pick and choose while they take the rest of our rights away.
And, as unpopular as it is, I agree that our foreign policy relative to the Middle East has been a long-running failure back to the 1950s, at least, and something that didn't improve with the end of the Cold War. Does that mean Al Queda was justified in 9/11 -- no. Nor does Paul agree with that. However, our response via the distracting sideshow in Iraq, our ignorace over tribalism, religion and culture relative to "deomcracy" in the region has made a bad situation far worse.
Given a choice between Paul and Fred Thompson, there would be no choice -- Paul would get my vote. Fred and I only agree, on the 2nd and virtually nothing else.
Give a choice between Hillary and Rudy, neither would get my vote even it meant a Hillary win and a new federal AWB the next day (as if Rudy would care). This broken excuse for a political system we have now has to end. I will no longer support the "lesser of two evils" at the federal level. I will at the state for the time being give the agressive attacks on the 2nd that are not experienced almost anywhere else.
Watch the CNN clip, it's short and to the point:
