I am over Ron Paul. 

I like his no-nonsense approach to the War. I’ve really been drawn in to the fracas. In the past years I have been drawn more and more to the Libertarian philosophy. My Democratic Party has failed me. Wimps Reid and Pelosi are just terrible. When Paul explained the real reason we were attacked, (It’s our own damn fault), I really pricked up. FINALLY someone is telling the truth about it!

He’s a myspace friend, he’s a curmudgeon and s a straight-talking kind of guy. If I was a Republican I probably go with him. Should he not win, I think he would be an asset to either administration. However, I took this quiz and realized, outside his stance on the war, we don’t agree on several other important issues. I’m sure he’s a wonderful human being. I dig the Ron Paul girl and the whole spirit of his supporters. I love watching him in the debates. 

There are a few deal breakers I just assumed Paul agreed with me on.

ABORTION—Paul is against a woman’s right to choose. 

STEM CELL RESEARCH- How can you be a rational human being and be against this?

When I hear all the fan boy gush on Reagan my stomach turns. People tend to forget that one of the biggest worldwide threats today is AIDS. This is because Reagan got his moral panties in a bunch and didn’t even acknowledge this as a threat for SIX YEARS.  This delay advanced the spread. We don’t need another 4 to 8 years of a president who ignores science as well as the will of the people.

EDUCATION FUNDING- Paul thinks the schools have enough cash. Obviously Paul doesn’t live in Los Angeles. We have to cut after school programs just to fund SECURITY!

GLOBAL WARMING—With all that is going on, I think there is enough evidence of this to at least hedge your bets. Sure I don’t recycle everything but is it too much to ask folks to clean up after themselves—just in case?  

Here’s the shocker-- I agree on more issues with Mike Huckabee than Ron Paul. At least he’s for Universal Health Care.

I am not some nutjob who simply does what the internet tells me. The two candidates who share my views are Richardson and Kucinich.  There is no way in hell I am voting for Dennis. I just think he is a Ralph Nader style joke. I do like Richardson, but as a Vice President.  

So after much thought I am putting my support behind a John Edwards/ Bill Richardson ticket. Edwards really won me over on one of the Morning shows recently. He stated he will pull Health Benefits for all White House staffers until all Americans have health insurance. I thought this was ballsy and something none of those against Universal Healthcare types would ever do.

Ron Paul is one those types. As someone who has had a BITCH of a time getting health insurance, I can’t even consider someone who lives in this kind of “For me, not for you” mentality.
