Kooks, Crazies and Apple Pie...
Having original thoughts is not condemned. Expressing those thoughts publicly is the problem. Throughout history it has been true. Speaking out can get you crucified or ridiculed.
Ridiculing the opposition is a favorite ploy of the present administration. Our entire congressional representation lives in fear of saying the politically incorrect thing. If they stand up for anything, it is couched in such mush-mouth terms that their intention can easily be "re -spun." George Bush has done more name-calling than all those combined that he brands fanatics. I have to laugh when he refuses to call the Democratic Party Democratic. Have you not noticed that he refers to the party as "Democrat Party?" Diplomacy~~~ What's that?
And now Ron Paul is fighting against the very ploy that his Republican Party so vigorously uses. The man makes sense ... to the rest of us Kooks. If you aren't aware of his political philosophy, you should take a few minutes to visit here.
I've tried to stick to my Democratic roots but am having problems believing what the candidates offer. Same old Shit. The closest I can get to the party is John Edwards. His stated support for labor efforts and the unions makes me believe he can be "People-Oriented."
Obama tried to take that stance but his desire to win the Presidency has seen him waffle (in my opinion.) He needs corporate support and has begun to lean that way.
Hillary turned me off completely when she said, "Lobbyists serve a needed purpose." The problem is ... corporations own the lobbyiests. I, and most people, can't afford one.
The most experienced, in my opinion, is Bill Richardson. I could support him. But, he will probably wind up Vice Presidential nominee or Secretary of State. And, Bill is same old same old ... business as usual.
I'll probably vote Republican in the primary, just so I can support Ron Paul. I doubt that he wins the Republican nomination but hope he will accept the Libertarian Party's nomination. The guy makes sense. No matter how much the media avoids providing equal consideration.
Please, read what the guy stands for. He ain't afraid to go against the tide.

OH... I lied about the apple pie. :)
