$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Micki', 'W')hat are we debating here? All three are supported by tptb. Otherwise they would have been muffled, ignored and censored like Ron Paul.
Ron Paul? Look, I'm a Libertarian and Ron Paul, IMHO, is the type of person the news media would trot out to discredit Libertarians. Yes, he has some good ideas (a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then) but he's as out-of-control as McCain. Everything has to be done
right now and to hell with the consequences. Also, a leader has to inspire and quite frankly, 80% of the people who I know who have been inspired by Ron Paul are the conspiracy theory types. A leader needs to inspire and move the common person, not the fringes.
So who to vote for:
Ron Paul... Not even in my nightmares.
McCain... You're kidding.
Hillary... Yeah, right.
Obama... I've got problems with some of his views, but I at least see someone who seems to listen and I believe he will admit when he's wrong. Will I vote for him? Not sure. If it's not Barr then I'll probably just write-in the Libertarian candidate's name and be done with it.
Am I happy those are our choices, so far? Nope. So I'll keep working at the local level and do what I can to my my corner of the world a little better.
