This shows that Paul doesn not firmly believe in the Constitution but rather the Articles of Confederation where the States had this power.

I am not an anarchist as I've stated earlier. I just wish to see reform. The only problem is I don't see how reform is possible in our current feudal empire. I'd like to see this game of chess played when all the pawns quit. Not much of an exciting game then is it?

First: People still use the word sheeple? Really?
Second: In a political system where the process (as corrupt, controlled, and broken as it is) is to have nominees and vote for said nominees (or write someone in) things like this happen. The lesser of all evils to me is probably the person they are trying hardest to keep out. The looser canon. The most "uncontrollable" and "beholden." Something we may need, and at the moment, Ron Paul fits that bill for me and many others more than anyone else with ideas that represent me, with a relatively strong voice, and with support enough to do it. But as with Obama and his idealism, he too might be as controlled or face ridicule and worse...even if he were to be the will of the people. But also as with Obama, it's worth a shot, and what's your better alternative?
So, all this being said, given our current broken system with its strong corporate political machines, who would you write in, OP?edit on 8/20/2011 by ~Lucidity because: (no reason given)

All I can is, if Ron Paul LOSES then hes the real deal. But if he wins, then hes just like what you say, another puppet.
As long as Americans have to deal with this "voting" shenanigan, might as well just vote for Ron
But then again, look what happened to JFK. He went against the elites and got himself assassinated. So Ron Paul can win and get assassinated the next day.edit on 20-8-2011 by balon0 because: (no reason given)
