[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 279922, member: 2189"] Although I like a lot of what Ron sez I'm still very open as to who I'll vote for. Outside of Ron and Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich on the democrat side, all the other candidates in both parties IMO would be about the same at the end of the day if elected so what's the point? As a point of order, Dennis wouldn't take the same approach as Paul or Gravel but at least he's got the 8alls to take the gov't where it's already headed but just floor the accelator to get us there quicker and the vast majority in Washington don't want that as much as they don't want a Paul or Gravel approach either. To fast way upsets the apple cart. Sure each candidate (repub. & democrat) has specific hot topics and issues where they seem to show disagreement from one another but at the end of the day I truly believe the gov't will have grown larger, debt grown with it, I don't think much will change as it relates to our military involvments overseas (contary to the political posturing) because this is how the embedded policy works at the present time and I see none of them willing to stepout and speak of dramatic changes that would return us to a non-interventionist policy. Much could also be said in the area of economics, education, energy, immigration, etc. but in the end I see where neither side will have any dramatic shift away from the present course. Ron Paul stated early on that he would only run if nominated by his party but he's made comments of late that lead me to think he may do otherwise. The latest rumormill around certain circles is that Ron and Mike Gravel may join together as a independent effort and run in Nov. 08'. I'm not convinced Ron won't run 3rd party but what does have my interest tweaked is a Paul/Gravel or Gravel/Paul ticket. There was talk of a Buchannan/Nader alliance in 04' when Pat interviewed Ralph for his American Conservative magazine and the obvious issues of agreement were overwhelming. Paul/Gravel could begin to pull together a political force of paleo-conservatives and paleo-liberals into a single force and there are a lot of folks on bothsides who so wish this to happen.
