Well Krystal,

I don't vote, and i don't take interest in politics...but after seeing this, i've never wanted to vote so much in my life, as i do now.

I have never herd of someone running for President, being 'Anti-war'. Probably the one thing i'll agree on with anyone.

Thanks.

The only thing that's stopping him is people with that attitude.

He's got some views I agree with, but if you look at his policies a lot are just "pass the buck". Send everything state side. His record as a rep is admirable, voted against the Patriot Act, against domestic wiretapping, ending the idiotic trade restrictions with Cuba, etc that's good. He appeals to a lot of the libertarian views I secretly hold in a deep dark corner. The reason he has a big internet following is he supports net neutrality, which I agree, is a great thing. But other than the small number of us that are plugged in 24/7 and know about the implications involved, its not a big deal to the nation as a whole....yet ( ... )

At the base of everything though is that our country's incredible "democracy" that we feel the need to tell everybody about all the time is broken. We have 2 parties that have a stranglehold on the elections. It forces the populace to define themselves by those 2 parties alone. It forces the people to pick 2 or 3 key issues and elect based on that, rather than find a canidate that truly represents their point of view.

That's why he's running as a republican. He doesn't have a choice. He's said that he won't run as a libertarian if he doesn't get the republican nomination, but I think he would.

As for everything else, I've had too many after work drinks to argue my points right now. Still, I'll disown you if you vote for Hilary Clinton.

and I should disown you for voting republican but I haven't......yet :P
