ron paul confuses me. when he talks, he seems to be so clear-headed and direct (actually answers questions that are asked). his stance on war and general foreign policy makes me actually clap when i hear it. as does his wanting to audit the fed reserve. but why the hell does he run as a republican? he will never be taken seriously there. also, something about him makes me wary of who he'd pick as a veep, which there's a real chance that selection could take office - i mean shit, ron paul looks about as frail as mr burns on the simpsons. before 08 debates, john mccain was sounding like a real level-headed guy. then, he fell off the deep end, started getting crazy eyes and picked "i can see russia from my backyard" as his running mate. this is what scares me about paul.
my opinion of political system has come more clear since obama took office. given paul's level of desire to change how things work in dc, i don't think he can implement what he wants. i feel like obama had all those high hopes of sea change before he got in. then realized, fuck, i may be allowed to do a few of my little projects, but the majority of the time, i'll do as i'm told. same thing if ron paul were to get in. not much will change.
