Good choice. Don't waste your vote and perpetuate America's problems by voting Democrat or Republican. They caused the problems. The solutions (and the where-with-all to find them) escape them, as they have shown us for generations. They have no interest in putting our nation first, just their party's agenda that is beholden to those who own them.

Good luck mate. Always good to see people voting or joining 3rd parties. I wish more would do the same. I agree with a bit of the Green Party's platform but not enough to vote for them.

So what happened that turned you away from Paul? If you were a Paul supporter, I am assuming you were not part of the left-right paradigm to start with.

He probably thinks Paul can no longer win now that Santorum has dropped out and can't take enough votes from Romney.

If the OP can't understand that use of the government's power to coerce will only screw things up 90+% of the time .... that there are a limited number of situations where it must be used, but only as a last resort .... that (in theory, at least) the fairest form of government can be described as "anarchy, save one constable" ... then he really belongs with the Greens anyway.

I suspect he'll be back after having been betrayed by the power-seekers a few times.

Yep, that is most certainly a turn against Paul and our US Constitution. The ideologies aren't even comparable.
