I like Ron Paul, but there is no way he's going to be elected president. At best, he has been able to express some ideas and maybe sway some people's opinions. But, if enough people decide to vote for him, it will split the Republican vote and make a second Obama term much more likely. If that's OK, then by all means, vote Ron Paul. If he gets a high enough percentage of the vote, maybe people will begin to sit up and take notice of his philosophy.
I agree with you that he won't be elected. I don't care. I'm tired of holding my nose and voting. I like Paul's stance on all of my big decision points I use to vote for a candidate. In addition, many of his ideas have opened the eyes of the public to what it could be like without a big brother gov't. It is ok for me to personally vote for who I believe in. If we could get others to do the same instead of toeing the line, we'd get somewhere.
