  A Former Democrat for Ron Paul

  I’ve bolted the Democratic Party and for the first time in my life I’m voting for a republican Ron Paul.

  I’ve had it with the democrats who had two years to impeach Bush and Cheney for their many crimes and end the Iraq war, but did neither.

  Ron Paul is a man of principle; something which most politicians lack He is allegedly polling low, but you couldn’t tell that by the numerous vicious and misleading attacks on him by members of both major political parties.

  What is amusing is that here is a man who walks the talk of small and limited government – allegedly a Republican mini manifesto - yet most New Hampshire Republicans in the “live free or die” state, as your article says “would not consider voting for Paul under any circumstances.” That tells me that most republicans 1) have no principles, 2) are hypocrites, 3) would give up their liberty in the hopes that big mommy gubmit would save them from the big bad terrorists.

  The only democrat who I would consider voting for, Kucinich, is polling around 1%. He is the only democrat with the balls to call Cheney what he is, a criminal who must be impeached. Also, he is the only democrat who is calling for an immediate end to the Iraq war – no phased withdrawal BS.

  But when it comes time for the New Hampshire primary, I will proudly vote for Mr. Paul, a man who truly loves liberty and who is less of a statist than Mr. Kucinich.

  In the words of Tom Paine: "Even at it's best the state is a neccessary evil."
