I disagree with Ron Paul's stance on foreign policy and his belief that we "caused" 9/11 because of our policies but practically everything else about the guy I like. However, he has a snowball's chance in Miami at taking the office even if he were the only one running.
I'm not saying he's incompetent, but most people fear the responsibility that freedom requires you take upon yourself. They'd rather Uncle Sam come by and take care of everything for them, so a candidate that espouses dismantling the government like Paul does isn't going to win. Period.
However, at this point, the only way to not get me to vote Ron Paul is to put Fred Thompson as the GOP candidate. However, Fred needs to get his head out of his ass and start campaigning for real. If he keeps this up, the GOP is going to nominate Rudy, and I refuse to vote for an authoritarian prick like him.
So, it's looking more and more like Ron Paul for me.
