He is why I'm a registered Republican in Democratically-dominated Massachusetts.
Paul takes step toward presidential bid
Yeah, I will be voting for him in the primary; however, I am doubtful of his prospects in this age of rampant vote fraud. He may strike double-digits in the primaries because he's base of support is so vast, but there is no way the string-pullers of power allow this man anywhere near the office of the presidency. In a free and fair election with fair media coverage, I believe the American people would gift this world with a Ron Paul/Jesse Ventura (there has been talk of such) presidency. They are not saints, and certainly will not be supermen. They would face many, many obstacles were they to attain such heights; however, it would sure send a signal to the world that we are good people. It is our lying crap government that does not listen to us in our "democracy" that is the problem (and its mouthpiece media, please don't forget them; I hold them as culpable as the government itself, and maybe more).
Were (or when) the Republican establishment stops Ron Paul, I will either vote or write in Ralph Nader for the fourth time. He got my vote in 1996, 2000, and 2008 (he was the only candidate to call for war crimes trials for the Bush Administration); however, as we have seen with Obama you don't attain the office without signing off on the Wall Street/Israeli plan for U.S. domestic and foreign policy.
