His mother calls him a hippie for voting for Obama. She voted for McCain.

What an irony; the Cubans, arguably the most successful block of political refugees in the last 50 years, vote almost solidly Republican, except for the spoiled ones who forgot what hard work entails.

I don't think there is a dime's worth of difference between the republican and the democratic when it comes to important issues. the best hope for our political evolution will have to be in the form of a grass roots political movement that will sweep both of these deeply entrenched parties from political power.

this sweep will have to begin in city hall and work it's way into the state legislatures and finally into national power.

a vote for mccain or obama was the same vote. furthermore the issues that really impact us on a daily level are decided in the bi cameral legislative branch. it is far more important to have loyal constitutionalists sitting in the legislative branch and good constitutionalist judges on the federal benches than a good president with a bad legislature and judiciary.

Ron Paul was the only truly "different" potential candidate.

Even if I know why it doesn't mean it won't be interpreted as a green light for the "ugly American" to appear...
