Sorry, I didn't mean to make it seem like I'm a 2 party advocate. I'm not even a Republican, I'm a Libertarian, as I think both parties are crossing lines they shouldn't. The Democrats have the right idea on social issues (somewhat, definitely not entirely) but they're hopelessly misguided on monetary policy. The Republicans are the flip flop, they are supposed to be for smaller government (which we know is a joke nowadays) but they get all wrapped up in social garbage that our government shouldn't be involved in at all (like the proposed gay marriage ban).
I wholehertedly support 3rd parties, independent parties, etc. Ron Paul is a Libertarian who is doing what he can to promote liberty within the Republican party. If the Republicans acted the way they should, there wouldn't be a need for the Libertarian party. But considering the choices there are right now, Ron Paul is the best candidate in the field who has any name recognition at this point. The Libertarians aren't even planing to nominate anyone until next summer, and whoever it is will most likely have no chance of winning. I hate to say that, but it's true. Ron Paul at least has a chance to make a name for himself and with the right support, and capitalizing on the general public's attitude towards politicians in general, he might actually have a shot at winning the GOP nomination. Nothing is impossible when people finally wake up to the fact that THEIR government is fucking them over regularly. We've had major shifts in government before, it can happen again.
