Ron Paul: I endorse him, but I won’t vote for him
A relative who I respect more than any other told me yesterday that he actually is in agreement to me with my political views. He’s a hardcore liberal who loved Clinton because the stock market did so well. But now he is realizing that he really didn’t earn much value even though his wages, investments and property values skyrocketed — he realizes he isn’t that much wealthier than he was before the booms. He is thriftier than ever, and he sees that the money he’s saved for decades might not last the rest of his life, even though he is one of the thriftiest people I know.
It was with great shock that I accepted that he agrees with the libertarians, but he made an interesting point: he now prefers smaller government, but he is more afraid of continuing warmongering in the world than with freedom. He would rather vote for Hilary or Barack than “throw away a vote” on a libertarian candidate. I personally don’t support any candidate on any platform. I vote for the best person I know for every elected position — I vote for myself. I recommend everyone does it, especially all of you who don’t vote. Go out and register, and write your own name in for every election seat. As more people do this, the vote totals are more skewed to “None of the Above” or “Other” than for either party of evil.
