Kain <a href="http://ordinary-gentlemen.com/blog/2011/12/15/why-i-will-be-voting-for-ron-paul-in-2012/" target="_self">will be voting</a> for Ron Paul:</p> <blockquote> <p>I want a candidate who will honestly and frankly assess the abuses of liberty here at home, because without our basic rights intact, how can we trust anything our government does? For me it is hardly about left vs. right anymore or the various second-tier policy differences Democrats and Republicans may have. Yes, I care about jobs, about taxes, about healthcare and public education. Yes, on many of these issues I’m far to the left of Ron Paul. But I care more about peace.</p> </blockquote> <p>A reader sends the above video from the previous presidential cycle and writes:</p> <blockquote> <p>Back in 2007, I was in college and a very conflicted Republican.  I disagreed vehemently with my party on the war in Iraq and the Patriot Act, and I had a whole collection of candidates that I disagreed with.  Then a video of some old congressman debating with Rudy Giuliani on the topic of blowback went viral, and two thoughts came to mind: a) here&#39;s a guy who gets it, and b) why is the audience rewarding Giuliani&#39;s obvious ignorance by clapping?  After that, I became a Ron Paul supporter.</p> </blockquote>]]></html></oembed>
