Had a brief chance to listen to my local talk radio station about thirty minutes ago, and the nation-wide broadcast "Your News America," (or something close) had someone from P.J. Media on. The guy said that what he has seen on the ground and witnessed first hand, is that almost every Ron Paul supporter he has come across voted for Obama in '08 and will vote for Obama this election if Ron does not (and he said "will not") get the nomination.
Of course, this is nonsense and was an attempt to marginalize Paul's support. It may also be noted that before the hosts and this guy said this, they were saying that this is a three man race between Romney, Gingrich, and Santorum, with Perry playing spoiler. Not a single word about Paul before the situation I just stated.
Some of us may have supported Obama, but I am under the impression that they are few amongst the rest.
Most of us are Republicans and Independents by party, and libertarians, conservatives, and constitutionalists by ideology.
I will never cast my vote in favor of Obama. And I encourage the few who may consider doing so out of spite, to rethink.
My vote will go to Ron Paul and no one else. However, I must admit that there is a very slim window I am leaving for Romney to change my mind by putting one of the Paul's (if not both) in a cabinet position. But that window is very narrow, and not likely to be opened, unless, as stated, someone like Romney makes some serious and genuine steps.
I am tired of being marginalized and called a liberal by the people who should be supporting Paul. I am tired of being called a "progressive agent" or "further left than Obama on foreign policy" because I support a foreign policy of free trade, diplomacy, and a strong national defense.
Had to get that out, and hopefully it gives the people browsing the forums a better idea of how most of us are.
