my only reply would be that the idea of voting the lesser of TWO will always , i repeat , always perpetuate the status quo. i voted for ralph nader the first time even though i thought he would make a terrible leader. notwithstanding his integrity. paul has the same kind of integrity. if everyone would stop saying that you have to vote for the lesser of two and start saying i will vote for anyone BUT those two then maybe, just maybe we'll actually get somewhere, ron paul or no ron paul.(it also would help to not believe the propaganda about just about everything too)
