In a Fox Business interview Wednesday, Rep. Ron Paul refused to say who he was planning on voting for — but ruled out voting for Mitt Romney or President Obama, leaving only one plausible option.
"I obviously haven't announced in support for Romney, so that means that's very unlikely," Paul said. "And I don't think anybody think's I'm going to vote for Obama. So it's back to that frustration level in not seeing a dramatic choice in how the system works."
"Tonight there's a debate going on," Paul said. "And if you come to the conclusion that the candidates aren't all that different, why do we have to just listen to two of them?"
"There are other people who are technically capable of winning because they're on a lot of ballots," Paul said, to which his interviewer said "Like Gary Johnson, for example."
"Yeah," Paul said. But he wouldn't confirm that he was definitely voting for Johnson.
he wouldn't confirm that he was definitely voting for Johnson.
Ron Paul should vote for himself, imo. I'm planning to vote for him. Gary Johnson isn't as Pro-Life and supports "humanitarian war" interventions of the AFRICOM variety, especially.
youre correct. johnson isnt as pure on foreign policy as many might assume, plus the fact that he's for killing babes excludes any legitimacy he may have had as a "non-evil" protest vote
abortion has always served as a litmust test for the character of a candidate. Granted that even those who rant against abortion have no intent on stopping it, any politician who openly supports it clearly conveys a wicked soul on the face of it..
A politician can say he's against abortion all he wants, but the fact of the matter is that there is NOTHING he can personally do which will repeal the US Supreme Court decision which gave the green light to abortion on demand.
So it's a win-win sitution for them. The REAL test comes from whether or not they'd launch unprovoked and immoral wars resulting in the murder of thousands or even millions of innocent people, men, women, AND children.
i agree 100%, which is why, although i still wouldnt support a pro-aborrtionists for the reasons given above, the just war doctrine must be brought into the public discourse & highlighted especiallly to religious voters of good conscience.
