Liberty or Death!

I must say that this election cycle has proven to be very dirty and rough...and we haven't even reached super Tuesday yet.

A of now, there are four candidates that remain in the race: former Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, Congressman Ron Paul of Texas, and former Senator from Pennsylvania Rick Santorum.

The one thing that sticks out to me in this election is how 'plastic' all the candidates are, with one glaring exception: Ron Paul.

Here's a man who served in the Air Force during Vietnam (the only candidate who's a veteran), who has been elected to congress 11 times, who is the most consistant candidate, and only candidate that doesn't sound rehersed. Ron Paul gives honest answers from his heart and mind, not memorized zingers that were re-approved by his election committee.

He does not take money from lobbyists. He is the only Republican candidate calling for an end to all foreign wars. He is the only one with a sound enough mind to drastically cut spending and bring all the troops home, thus, bulstering national defense. Bring the troops home and instead of protecting the boarders of Afghanistan or Iraq or South Korea, we should bring 'em home and protect our own boarders.

Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate that believes the government should have NO role in the personal lives of its citizens.

If you call Ron Paul an 'isolationist' then clearly you have no idea what the word mean, and you clearly have not done your research. Ron Paul is a non-interventionist. Meaning: not medling in the internal affairs of other sovereign nations, and not getting involved in entangling treaties. Calling Ron Paul an isolationist would be like calling your neighbor a hermit just because he doesn't come to your property and smash your windows.

People say that his foreign policy is dangerous. They're wrong. Getting the U.S. out of the affairs of other nations may even solve some big issues. Imagine if some other country, say Russia or China decided to try and push us around and influence us...we wouldn't like it, would we? So imagine us right now, influencing events in the middle east and pushing them around...

The sooner we leave, the better.

I was once a democrat. I jumped on the band wagon in 2008 and voted for Brarack Obama. Since then I, like many, have grown tired of the same old two parties that seem to never be able to get anything done in Washington. I registered as an 'unaffiliated' voter in 2010, and just last week registered as a republican for the sole purpose of voting for Ron Paul.
