If you had even listened to the video it had nothing to do with the voters. It has to do with the fact Ron Paul supporters are changing the Republican party and the country for the better however slowly you may think that is happening it is happening.

You say that now but Paul supporters do and will matter come November...Romney may not come out and say it but there is a very good segment of the Republican party that will not support Romney and those are the Paul people and even right wing folks won't support him either. He is a liberal Republican not much different than Obama...This election is even worse than 2008. At least then people THOUGHT they had 2 different choices someone who was going to end wars and one that wanted to extend wars...so much for that thought. This year people are realizing there is no difference.

For those who keep asking me who I am voting for and why waste your vote on RP...this answers it for everyone. I love this video.
your choosing to vote for someone that isn't even on the ballot seems a little silly, but it is your choice. Your referring to any video to me is a waste of time, almost all of them have been doctored to prove points that are not factual. The beauty of UTube, and the niaveness of so many.

I am voting for someone whose beliefs I believe in. I will not waste my vote on people who I don't agree with. Either way I will be forced to have someone for president I don't want and I didn't vote for so why waste my vote on them?

This is sometimes referred to as the old "tilting at windmills" argument, usually repeated by the same folks who supported Ross Perot, and George Wallace, and Eugene McCarthy, and Dick Gregory, and Pat Buchanan, and Ralph Nader, and....

The fact of the matter is that life, like politics, seldom presents us with ideal choices to begin with... like for example facing the choice between chemotherapy, and the "alternative".

Because Obama is vastly different from Bush, and Romney is vastly different from Obama. To pretend they are all the same is just silly.

To pretend they are all different is silly. They all are being funded by the same crooks they all have the same thing planned for America. More wars,more debt,less freedom less rights.

Now, whose being silly.

You're bright enough to google the policy similarities...

There are a lot of similarities. Special interest, especially the military industrial complex loves them. No matter who wins the election...they still win.

We will see if that happens. This could be drug out and thwarted at every turn. However, I do think it is the right thing to do.

Although seriously, what I never understand is why anyone would expect their candidates for President, to be any more "noble" or "uninfluenced" than say, their boss or the CEO of their company, who also likely fought tooth and nail to get where they are... and even now probably still $crews their employees over all the time?! Realistically, are we choosing someone who can handle the most powerful position in the world... or someone to stand in for Mother Teresa and the Dalai Llama!
