You are not the only Ron Paul fanatic on here by any stretch of the imagination, but maybe you are one of the only ones that can understand an oposing view, will have to wait and see. I actually like most of what Ron Paul says and would vote for him if he were to get the nomination. However, from a logical stand point you and I both know that there is no chance that he will be the nominee. I cant get the others to understand that fact but it seems rather obvious to me. So if he doesn't get the nomination, what then? Do we go with the candidate that is forced upon us by the washington establishment (Romney) and the liberal media or do we vote third party? If we vote third party we will probably be handing the election back to Obama. Are our principles so important to us that we would allow that to happen? They are important (and I have voted third party before) but I think that we are at the point of no return and I can't see them being so important that we would be willing to cut our noses off to spite our faces. So lets look at it from a logical stand point. 1st we know Paul isnt going to get the nomination. 2nd I don't like having washington and the media choosing my candidate and do not want to be forced to vote for Romney just to get Obama out of office. Having to once again choose between the lessor of two evils and Im not entirerly convinced that Romney/Wallstreet can beat Obama anyways. They have already laid the ground work against him with the creation of the OWS movement. So who does that leave? Santorum, I actually like him but I just don't think he has the gonads or tthe spinal fortitude to get the job done. Or Newt, the only man on stage with any balls. Yes, he has baggage and yes his brain gives him ideas that his mouth cant properly explain, but not you or anyone else can convince me that the man doesnt truely love this country and everything it stands for. His knowledge of American history is second to none. So do we vote for Ron Paul in the primary thereby giving the nomination to Romney or do we vote for Newt in the primary so that we don't have to vote for Romney in the general? Personally I am going to have to take my chances with Newt but that being said I would happily vote for a Gingrich/Paul ticket in the general. Reguardless, I think that this election is to important, to risk it by voting for a candidate that we both know is not going to win.

Does that make the least little bit of sense to you?
