I really hope Ron Paul ends up running as I feel this person can capture both the right, the lefts and even the independents attention in a positive way when it comes to foreign policy.
I like that Ron Paul can understand the importance of OBLs death while not getting lost in patriotism or the he said she said bull shit.
I know Ron Paul is not the best speaker, not young and he is white I know these qualities by many today are all considered to be unpopular but I think when looking at his policies and voting record many people will be doing more than voting for a lesser of two evils. Maybe its time politics has someone like the band Nirvana; bad at singing and dancing but manages to make something that cant be ignored.
Im really looking forward to the primaries if Ron decides to run.

I really don't admire the term 'Independent' when it comes to politics. You're either principled, or you aren't.
The way that 'Independents' is used by the media and political pundits is that these people will switch on a dime due to 'POPULAR' consent...
And again? You are either principled, or you aren't...despite what's POPULAR...
Being 'Independent' is LACK of party affiliation BASED upon principles...despite what's POPULAR...
MOST of what we see and hear is Populist/Partisan yaksqueeze...alot for an independent-minded person to overcome...
*NOT*
Wrong. Being independent means those who have no particular party they grovel with, they will choose whichever they believe will do what needs done.
I don't give a damn what is popular.
Just speaking for myself, anyway.
