Ron Paul is meh

If we give states individual rights.  Imagine if Texas was like Syria, with it's laws and leader, and the only way the federal government could stop Texas from massacring it's own people, was by going to war with the state.  So, we already have many laws at a state level, and many of them do horrible damage.  Not allowing gays to marriage.  Actually making it illegal for gays to marry, to be exact.

Ron Paul has some great things to say.  He has some really good points of view.  But he is still a Republican/Libertarian.  He does not like women's rights, he is racist, and he doesn't think that the federal government should have any power.  These are damaging enough to this country, that he is not a better bet than Obama.  I am very disillusioned with Obama because I feel that he hasn't stood up for this country, as the president, as he should have.

As for Obama.  I understand he has almost the entire Republican party simply voting against anything he proposes, so make him look bad, to make him look unaccomplished.  But he has some powers as president that he has not used.  I'm not saying the Republicans look any better from my point of view, but I'm afraid that people dumb enough to vote Republican in the first place (at this point, with these clowns) is just voting along party lines anyway, so them looking like jerks isn't going to sway them.  Although I hope that it does.  I do really hope that enough people are disillusioned with the Republican's bullshit, that they at least vote third party.  I have heard rumblings of discontent among them, but when it comes down to it, will they just vote Republican?

Having said that, I do hope that Ron Paul wins the nomination, because hopefully this will for Obama to take pro-peace policy, and possibly even get him to admit that the war on drugs in a complete waste of money, and a drain on our police forces across the country.
