Oh, he’s crazy for sure

My support for Ron Paul was in hopes that somehow he would get the Presidential nod and scare the neocons out of the party... maybe cause them to make their own since there's so many of them (viable third party???). I actually did agree with some of his positions - mainly the economic ones - just not the immigration stuff or letting states decide abortion rights (mainly because it would cause a legal clusterfuck and lose lots of money to lawyers). It was a mix and match. But yeah, he's nuts. And as time has gone by, I've been drifting back to the left anyway, so I probably wouldn't agree with those same things now.

He actually released that information about the earmarks because while he feels that they are a symptom of the money problem in Washington, he thinks it's a way to give money back to his constituents that the government "stole" from them.

I agree that the whole system needs to be torn down and rebuilt, but he fancies himself a modern-day Robin Hood, it seems. I guess I can understand that argument - the system lets that happen so until somebody fixes it let us take advantage of that - but that's sort of the same mindset that makes people think it's okay to download whole music CDs and never pay for them.

I dunno. My vote for Obama will be simply because he's a nub. I've seen too much bullshit from people who had the experience, I'm just too jaded. But I do believe the Republican party needs an overhaul. You know, we keep hearing, "America is in trouble, so we're going to keep jobs here and eliminate wasteful spending!" Who are these people going to vote for? These unnamed bad guys who are poisoning our environment, working our families to the bone, sending jobs overseas, and hiring illegal immigrants? Obama wants to raise their taxes, McCain is promising to make life difficult for them. Are those super-rich, super-powerful people voting for a third party?

More likely than not, under either candidate, they'll continue to get their corporate penises stroked... just by a different government whore.
