I think a lot of it has to do with the religious aspect, which really polarized everyone and got them on opposite sides of the spectrum. It also has a lot to do with this weird, renewed sense that we have to fix up the world, which is, of course, a huge load of crap.

I agree that religion has been the downfall of the Republican Party specifically Evangelical Christianity, it has given them narrow vision, and they no longer recognize that different people have different, and equally valid beliefs and points of view...

Just because Jesus is your savior does not make him mine... I am my own Savior...

I've been really looking into Ron Paul's views, and I'm starting to lean towards his support...He just seems to be, right. Yeah it goes against the Republican party, but everything adds up when he speaks.

I'll tell you one thing... I was so surprised to see a prospective Republican National Candidate that was actually intelligent, told the truth, and didn't beat around issues like the Three Stooges at a golf tournament! Jeez, it almost gave me a hard-on.

Obviously, my vote is for Ron Paul.
