Who to Vote For?

When Ron Paul first began to appear in the American conscious, I was often looked at askew for favoring him. I just read a post by Ed Hurst that sort of explains my thinking.

Ed said that he was often asked who he favors or endorses. He then said:

...the difference between the two major parties is an illusion. What's the difference between a party which promotes a woman's right to murder her child, and another party which can't be bothered to prevent it? What's the difference between a party which wants to remove the 2nd Amendment and another which gears up mightily to close down every gun dealer in the US on petty technicalities? What's the difference between nanny-state socialism and corporate welfare which confiscates private property? What's the difference between bigger government and bigger government?

Exactly.

Ron Paul offered something different. I have no illusions that Ron Paul was the "savior" of the country. I'm sure he's just as likely to screw things up worse than he is to help. But I had hope that he could have begun the process of dismantling our current behemoth that is the Republicrat-Democrican system, which I dearly would love to see dismantled.

Government has begun to get in the way of citizens living their lives. Ron Paul offered me hope of turning that around.

"What's the difference between bigger government and bigger government?"

Exactly.
