    that's for the hard hitters.....!!!!

    also, sometimes when some people become innodated with too much info, everything becomes hazy...and this doens't help what might be good for a village.

    I agree on the information overload. I think when that starts to become a factor you really have to start looking at the character of the candidate (like someone who gives a shit). Looking at voting records is a real key for me. One thing you do have to give Paul is that he was present and voted yea or nea and didn't vote present like Obama did.

    My opinion on Ron Paul would be that he is a principled right winger, alright.
    I can like his liberal stances on some personal liberty issues.

    Apart from that, I just about disagree with everything he stands for. Constitution nostalgist whose solution to most things would seem to be to not get involved at all. A libertarian really, is what he is. And I have little sympathy for those.

    That's what I think about him anyway.

    Yeah... realizing their record and I might add, looking at what organizations support a candidate's campaign.....but once again, that leads into a quest....of ambiguouity (sp). I used to think that my vote didn't matter...and it probably doesn't as much as my egocentric self would like to think, but as time travels, I am seeing how my vote does matter to my placement in this universe.

    If I am to believe in a law of magnetic attraction, then what I put out in thought as well as action will come back to me...The vote is no different...
