Politics as usual

The presidential primary season is about to start in earnest. This time of year has made me seriously consider who I will cast my vote for come the Florida primary. On the democratic side I see nothing but an increase in socialism and government control over our daily lives, especially the economic aspects of our lives. However, I am a registered republican which means that I can only vote for one of the remaining 7 candidates with an "R" after their names. Unfortunately, most of the republican candidates seem to be merely a continuation of the current Bush administration (which I have become very disappointed in) and all have some degree of RINO status (republican in name only).

Currently, the only candidate which I can see voting for is Ron Paul. I like his fiscal policy, his anti-gun control stance and his want to pull us out of the UN and protect American sovereignty. Unfortunately, there is a lot of controversy surrounding Ron Paul, not to mention he consistently draws single digits in the polls. So, it looks as if I will end up voting for Dr. Paul in the primary and the republican candidate in the general election.
