Ok, I rescind that I thought you were 'spinning.' You are here to enlighten and share the vision you have that Ron Paul. The fact that he lent his name and collected monies for nearly 2 decades, admitting he had no clue to who was writing the newsletters, what they were saying, and only got around to explaining that he didn't 'necessarily agree' with it all a few years ago is ok. For those reasons or in spite of those reasons, you feel he is qualified to lead the United States of America and are proud of your convictions.
In spite of, actually.
But I don't perceive what you perceive about this.
I don't have to PERCEIVE that the rest of the candidates in the field flip flop whatever position they have to for a vote, or flat out lie. I can physically verify that by simply LISTENING to them, or checking their records. I don't have to PERCEIVE that Giuliani has corrupt ties to foreign governments, because I've already seen the proof. I don't have to PERCEIVE that Huckabee is blatantly misusing his religious beliefs to win the office of the POTUS. And I don't have to PERCEIVE that the entire crop of Democratic candidates, minus maybe Kucinich (although I don't agree with his domestic policy), are really just authoritarian socialists and communists in sheeps clothing, because they have records that INDICATE THAT.
You on the other hand, must PERCEIVE what you feel about Ron Paul, because you don't have anything except internet links to op-ed's, random pictures, and a few misunderstood quotes.
The good part is, this is America, and you're entitled to that perception. The bad part is, you'll probably be giving your vote to a liar, a flip flopper, or a fascist.
By all means though Kathianne, pick whoever you PERCEIVE as least racist.
