No more Republican presidents…for a while, anyway.

I know that everyone is on a Ron Paul kick, especially 9/11 truthers. I have to admit that I do agree with a lot of what the guy says, and I wouldn’t be devastated if he won the election. But I wouldn’t necessarily be happy either.

I completely understand that there’s a huge difference between Ron Paul’s brand of Republicanism and George Bush’s (or any other neocon’s for that matter). But even Ron Paul’s brand of traditional Republicanism is something I can’t get down with. Some parts, like smaller government and less government spending, I completely agree with. But I also perceive that many of Dr. Paul’s beliefs are driven by his religion, which I don’t think has any place in the United States government. Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s my perception of him.

Honestly, Ron Paul seems like a good guy to me. I have nothing against him personally, and like I said, I wouldn’t be devastated if he won. In my lifetime we, the American People, have given the Republicans a hell of a chance to do better for this country, and they have consistently disappointed us. Sure Clinton was no angel, and made some stupid mistakes, but he didn’t do nearly the harm that Bush I or Bush II did.

Maybe that’s the wrong attitude, but I’m not voting for a Republican candidate this time around, or possibly ever.
