Write-in Ron Paul or vote for Obama?

Here is a draft I prepared but did not finish this morning. At the last moment I changed my mind once more and did vote for Ron Paul.
Below are the reasons why I planned to vote for Obama. But before publishing it, I realized I was trying to side with the winner, (though I would [...]

It’s over for McCain

But let’s not forget why McCain would make a bad president in 2009:
1)  Wants to pursue the “War on Terror” in Iraq. But can never explain why.
2)  Doesn’t understand economics. (Ron Paul has tried explaining economics to him countless times.)
3)  Some of McCain’s retarded legislation as Senator included trying to kick Iran off the FIFA [...]

Ron Paul on McCain and Obama

From an interview with Kieran Chetry with CNN:
Chetry: Congressman, have you heard anything from either of the presidential candidates about their economic plans that you think are good things that need to be implemented?
Paul: No, not really, but it’s tough to find out the good parts. I do think that John McCain has a better [...]

Michael Moore: Fallacious reasons to vote for Obama

In recent commentary, Michael Moore asks Pennsylvania voters to vote for Obama. The fallacious reasons?
Moore hates the current administration
Michael, the current administration isn’t running, whether or not Obama gets elected. You are offering a false dichotomy.
Hillary is taking cheap shots at Obama
Since when is this a good reason to vote for someone? Maybe Obama deserves [...]

Life after Ron Paul: Obama, Hillary and McCain dissected.

If you get busy, like me, you may have stopped following Ron Paul’s progress after the Primary results came in. It’s not that I lost interest in Ron Paul’s politics, but rather that I lost interest in modern U.S. presidential politics.
What are we left with as viable candidates? There is Obama, Hillary, and McCain.
Obama
Obama started [...]

A Quick Conversation with John Moody on Ron Paul Exclusion

I just got ahold of John Moody of FOX News.
I had wanted to speak to him about Ron Paul’s exclusion in the debates. Several Ron Paul supporters found and posted his direct office line so I called.
He was very polite. He thought I was calling about Duncan Hunter, then I said it was actually Ron [...]

CNN rwns FOX over NH GOP scandal – Ron Paul is the big winner

I never expected to see this on the news.

FOX’s news studio “is too small”, so several Ron Paul supporters have volunteered to donate money to FOX to build them a bigger trailer.
In the meantime others are selling their News Corp stock.

An Open Letter to Shepard Smith and Greta Van Susteren and the Media

You deserve praise for openly discussing Ron Paul on FOX News. I wonder if you had to take a pay a fine every time you said Ron Paul’s name, or for every second you discussed him. I know you will be getting a lot of positive emails from Ron Paul supporters.

Just one objection: You continue [...]

Are you angry?
Then it’s time to sell Newscorp [NWS].
News Corporation has excluded the most widely [...]

Students with Visas not even a threat

We issue 200,000 student visas a year. One of the hijackers had an F-1 student visa. The majority had tourist, business, or visit visas.
So if you are looking to protect the country, a more logical thing to do is ban (1) male (2) Saudi Arabians (3) between the ages of 21 and 43 (4) religious [...]
