Actually, one of the biggest "selling" points for me for Ron Paul is that he is
not willing to "do whatever" and "say whatever" to gain votes.
He has a consistent voting record - his votes are based on what the constitution says.
Also, he has a nickname of "Dr NO" (he's a physician, btw). He turns the PAC lobbyists away - won't give them the time of day and thus, they don't give him the time of day!
I guess I am a fed up American who is TIRED of politics "as usual" ... I was totally disenfranchised ... didn't give a rats *** .... because "all politicians are the same and none are out to do what's best for America" :(
And then, I found Ron Paul.
People say "he can't win" ... I know the odds are stacked against him. Based on the last 2 elections, I realize that there are questionable tactics when it comes to ballots ... but I, for one, am so sick and tired of politics "as usual".
I just wish Americans would WAKE UP to the fact that our country is in a REAL MESS!!! Politics "as usual" is not going to solve anything - for the most part, there really is no difference between the 2 sides anymore :(
My dream would be that everyone turn off their radios and tv ... research the candidates, ask themselves "where do the candidates STAND on the issues" (and not just where they "say" they stand ... actually look at how they voted ;) - it's easy to say one thing to get elected and then do another
)
Also, look at the FEC filings and "opensecrets" websites to see where their money is coming from and how they are spending it -
(
www.fec.gov and
www.opensecrets.org )
Vote your conscience NOT because "this pundit on 'FAKE NEWS' likes this guy and he must know what he's doing!" ...
(stepping down from soap box NOW - exit stage left)
