Mrs. Fraggle and I have been registered Libertarians for about thirty years. We voted for Ron Paul when he was our party's candidate and we'll vote for him this time if he gets on the ballot. If not, we'll vote for the Libertarian candidate.
There is not enough difference between the Democrats and Republicans to agonize over. They both want to take away all of our money and all of our rights. About all they differ on is that the Republicans want to take away our rights first and the Democrats want to take away our money first.
Nonetheless it was a Republican president who oversaw the crash of 2008 that turned so many of us into paupers (the Controller of the Currency, Bush's appointee, could easily have stopped the banks from issuing subprime mortgages but he just didn't give a damn), and the Democrats have been happily prosecuting the war on drugs despite their alleged reverence for individual rights (even though the last three presidents admitted smoking pot and two of them still have all their brain cells).
Yes, Ron Paul is an asshole, but so are all politicians. But he's a sincere asshole, much too old to be sidetracked by pride or favors. He would, for sure, halt the War on Islam (which is responsible for $3 trillion of the national debt) and the War on Drugs (which is costing us a fortune in tax revenue we can't collect on the sale of illegal merchandise), he would tell Israel to go fuck itself, and he would not let the government borrow one more dime. Yeah he's on the wrong side of some major issues like abortion (name one obstetrician who is comfortable with the idea, after all, they love babies), but the President doesn't have the power to make it illegal.
Can your guys, Tweedledum and Tweedledumber, do any better than that?
All us old hippies felt a twinge of pride and justice when the first dark-skinned president took office, but geeze he hasn't acquitted himself very well, he's all talk. We would have felt just as proud if the first woman had gotten the job, and who doesn't think Hillary would be doing it better?
Edit: Hey, my vote put Ron in the lead! Nyaa nyaa nyaa!
