    I really don't get the attraction of Ron Paul. I disagree with a lot of his positions on issues that are very important to me. Why the support? Legalizing drugs? Is that really an important issue?

    Kucinich, I could support. Unfortunately, he has no chance of winning. As the Democratic candidate, he would be giving the Republicans the election and I don't think this country (or planet) can survive that.

    Ron Paul just finished SECOND in the Nevada Caucuses!

    That should give his fans something to cheer about!

    And the MSM now has to start including Ron Paul again in the debates, unless of course the debates have been compromised already, which seems to be the case!

    Ending the "War on Drugs" is much more than just letting people get stoned. There are many people who don't use drugs or ever want to that want to end this "war". It is such a waste of money, fills prisons with nonviolent offenders, and is very destructive to our personal liberties and rights.

    BLAM! There it is. The issue has nothing to do with getting stoned, I don't need a law to find or use marijuana or other drugs, they're everywhere! The issue is when the laws and their enforcement cause more violence and problems than the "crimes" they are trying to prevent.

    The war on drugs is and always has been about CASH.

    I think I still might vote for Kucinich as a write-in candidate just on principle.I don't agree with him on gun control because guns might come in handy someday,but otherwise I support most of what he does, especially on monetary reform, which is the single most important issue above all others to me.Ron Paul would be my second choice because, at least, he wants to stop Operation Desert Slaughter in Iraq.All the other candidates are puppets of the obscenely rich.

    in a way though they all are puppets in some form or another. same shit, different assholes. That's what I believe until I see a good candidate who actually WINS and actually BETTERS this country.

    Ron Paul = liberaterian. He believes the government should stay out of people's lives, and that should only worry about US afairs. He would not have gone to Iraq, he would not go to Darfur. I doubt he would have gone to Germany in WWII. I like him alright because I think the US is a police state(country).

    Kucinich really is the man I liked him a lot before he dropped out. He was a straight shooter and an honest guy with good ideas. I did worry if he could be taken seriously especially from other nations around the world.

    My favorite is Obama. This man is fire. I've written some posts and comments about him, check them out.
