I had been hoping for a couple years that someone would talk Ron Paul into running. When I heard he was actually forming an exploratory committee earlier in the year, I was excited to see what would come of it, but I had no idea he would even go as far as he has. Now, I believe we've only begun and we can actually win...we have an uphill battle to fight, I have no misconceptions about that, but the campaign has reason to believe they are going to start shaking things up come the early primaries. Honestly, if it isn't going to be Ron Paul, I won't bother voting because there is no real difference between the other probable candidates. None of them will stop the erosion of our national sovereignty, and only Ron Paul and Tom Tancredo have spoken openly against the SPP and plans for a North American Union. Kucinich and Gravel would end the war, but Gravel is a globalist and both are for a big, BIG government nanny state. All the democrats are gun grabbers and have no real respect for the Constitution. Hillary...Hillary is a cacodaemon. Giuliani is an authoritarian, a liar and he scares the shit out of me. Romney is like an evil used car salesman. I don't trust any man who smiles that much and lies so damned easy. Fred Thompson...Fred Thompson is not even really in the race, and his "staunch conservatism" is nowhere to be found in his actual voting record or personal history. I see him as a foil to hold over disgruntled, real conservatives who might otherwise be more tempted to look into Ron Paul.
Its Ron Paul or bust. Really, I have a deep concern that Ron Paul may be the last hope this country has. If we keep going down this road, whether its with a neo-con or a liberal, the nation our forefathers fought and died for will likely no longer exist.
