If the US is smart enough to elect Ron Paul for president, I will regain a lot of respect that I have lost for the american people and their intelligence (after electing W). I think you'd see this trend all over the world. The US would go from the most hated country on earth to one of the most respected, for the simple reason that you'd stop meddling in other countries internal affairs. This is the reason that people of the world hate the US government, and the US people for electing them.

Ron Paul is by far the best candidate for President. He's an economic genius, he won't police the world, and he'll give us our civil liberties back.

You guys should check out Ralph Nader, I have been a long time supporter of both the Green party and the Libertarian party (the green party really messed up this year with McKinny being their candidate) I will voting Nader, and he is currently poling the highest of all of the Third Party Candidates. I hope you guys will go to his sight and watch some of his videos (videos of his interviews on tv etc.) Even if you won't vote for him, there is a lot of great info there. VOTE NADER GONZALAS 2008

Please stop voting for the democratic-republican party, when you vote for them you are supporting: THE LARGEST MILITARY BASED ECONOMY IN THE WORLD! The loss of your rights via the PATRIOT ACT, the worst healthcare system of all of the industrialized nations, the murder of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, A Cooperate run government, with cooperations instead of people as the biggest influence in law making, an education system ranked #36 in the world! Vote NADER, vote for America!

True that. We need more bipartisanship and less political shenannigans. I'm so sick of hearing, blame the liberals, blame the republicans. You know what? I'm a republican, and if Barack Obama or John McCain gets elected gets elected, I just hope that congress can come together and stop finger pointing.

United We Stand, Divided We Fall
