Obama may not be the "initial cause"
but he has escalated the situation beyond what it should ever have become today.

I too, don't agree with "everything" Paul says. He's not my Messiah...
I realize "change" does not happen overnight. As a true leader, you must pick one or
two things you want to accomplish - call it tunnel
vision - get the big things done first. I love
Paul on the "big things".

Anyways, if any independents want to cross over and
register Republican temporarily for the primaries to help get Paul the GOP nomination,
we thank you in advance
Americans will thank you later again and again

Paul

Obama
Easy. The only person I will be voting for in both the primary and general, regardless of who gets the nomination- Ron Paul. The only one that is offering us real change and solution to our problems, not just a band aid fix or more of the same.

So you are going to vote for him even if he isn't the candidate. I didn't know Ca changed their laws and now allow write ins. They didn't used to. We learn something everyday.

Yeah, I will. I won't vote for the someone if I don't agree with them. Paul is the only one on the Republican side that I agree with and I WILL NOT vote for Obama. I will write him in if I am able to. From what I have seen CA allows it. If they don't then I will vote Constitution party or not vote for President at all. Voting for the lesser of two evils has gotten us nothing but evil.

I could be mistaken, but I believe California allows write-in
votes for Presidential candidates as long as the candidate is a "qualified" one - meaning the candidate becomes qualified after a submitted petition and a certain amount of signatures requesting it....I doubt Ron Paul supporters would have a problem getting that accomplished

Well, Obama is screwing so many Dems right now that I think we're going to see a surge for Dr. Paul. Libertarian policies are the only way for neo-cons and neo-libs to get along. We are going to see many Dems registering as Republicans to vote in the primaries/caucuses. This is going to get interesting for sure.

Ron Paul is the only candidate with the right ideas to get us out of the mess we're in. Cain's 9-9-9 plan is a nightmare and doesn't provide the solution to our economic woes.

We need to bring the troops home, balance the budget, and end spending on useless programs. We need to downsize the Federal Gov, and restore states' rights which is what this country was founded upon. You don't like the politics in one state, you move to another.

I completely understand what you are saying though I do not agree on not voting, but that is your choice. My question was, when did Ca change the rules: I was rasied there, voted there for 30 years and never remember a place to write in a candidates name, yet you seem to think you can.

I have to ask you a couple of questions and this is not to disagree with you necessarily but: 1-haven't the Republicans tried to balance the budget but the Democrats won't hear of it, do you think Paul will be able to change this? 2-states rights, most of us believe is state's rights, but to make a comment like, if you don't like the politcs of the state move to a different state, don't you think that is a pretty simplistic statement: most people can not just move at on a whim....??
