Thread: Ron Paul

I am Seventeen... the 2008 election is the first one I've been old enough to really truly care about. It's terrible to find myself in a position where i am physically incapable of doing anything about something i care so strongly about. this is fucking torture!!! sitting by with the keys in and the engine running but no possible way to put this bitch in drive!!! i also realize that there are so many people my age that i wouldn't want to vote before maturing some that i do not oppose our voting age one bit...

i also feel saddened that my would be choice for prez was thrown back into the lake of powerless citizens and out of the river to change so quickly... he never had a chance and i really think it's soley because he had what it would take to run a country... it takes a different kind of person to run a country... i think people do not know what to think when they see this kind of person because one doesn't encounter them often... Ron Paul is different... in a way that i think makes him a suitable figure head for a country... he seems to have this sense of urgency towards change and more importantly change for the absolute benefit of 1.) Americans, 2.) The rest of the world. realistically this is what matters most. first, get america straight, secondly help out other countries where it's truly needed and not because of how helpful it would be for your brother's oil stocks.

he straight up didn't give a shit about anything but what he felt was right and how it would affect the people. His most important notable characteristic is that he isn't afraid to say 'fuck that, it's wrong'.

i feel as if i identify with this guy... when i read shit he's written or see him in a video or on tv i think, "yeah i can connect with this, he has good and legitimate ideas." and no one will give him the time of day because he isn't an undercover communist... [figure of speech]

this is truly saddening.
