So, I've officially changed my voter registration from Libertarian to Republican.

Why the change? Because to vote in a Republican primary in California, you must be a Republican.

And I'm voting Ron Paul.

Ahhh...RJ NO! Ha ha ha. You posted this the same day I donated 50 dollars to Mitt Romney. XD

Haha, funny timing then. But I thought Romney didn't need your money? ;)

Ha. I got a tshirt with his face on it and he sigbned it if I donated 50. He has gotten plenty of my money already, anyway. I'm too terrified of a McCain nomination to take risks based on the side of his fortune. ;-)

I too am terrified of a McCain nomination!

Is it not like this in every state?

Keep up the Ron Paul-ness! Never surrender!

Haha, who are you?

I vote for Ron Paul is a vote for McCain! Don't do it! =)

Oh, not you too, Eric?!

Haha, sorry about the typo. Now that Romney's out, it makes a vote for Ron Paul slightly more appealing. But I have my doubts. Do you really think we should go back to the Gold Standard, get rid of the CIA, pull all of our troops out from Europe, Korea, and the Middle East? And do you think a federal ban against abortion is libertarian?

I don't think we should necessarily go back to the gold standard, but I do believe that our currency should be backed by something. Also, it's important to note that while Paul might eventually want to go back to the gold standard, he has noted that it's not feasible in the current situation. He's argued that we should allow competing currencies into the current market, which would not only strengthen our currency but prevent foreign nations from having a huge advantage on materials such as gold and silver when we are forced to back our currency again (I think it's inevitable ( ... )
