Are you joking? Hillary Clinton is one of the largest recipients of health care industry contributions. Who do you think is really behind all this pressure to close down co-ops and end medical marijuana? A president speaking to God? Fuck no, that's just what he is there for you to assume, it's what it's always about, money. The health care industry cannot have people growing their own medicine, it would cost them too much. With Clinton in their pocket, I will guarantee that medical marijuana raids will not end with her in office as president!

I encourage everyone to subscribe to Ron Paul's youtube videos and find out what he is all about, you can't just go about thinking what he is for and what he is against, you have to find out why he supports one thing, and not another. This is true for any candidate, but for most candidates the reasons are almost always simple, however, Ron Paul is not a simple candidate, the guy actually thinks for himself rather than thinks for poll position.

I would never vote for Ron Paul simply for his views on drug legalization, I feel there are far more important things going on than that to be a core reason for choosing one candidate over another, but the more I heard him talk the more I realized that as crazy as some of the things he says sound, really, it all makes perfect sense. The main reason he isn't so popular is because he is so different from what we are used to expect from a candidate, we have become so used to a cookie cutter image, that we have allowed ourselves to expect that in future candidates rather than be open to new thinking, which is exactly what we need right now!

I don't give a rats ass how far of a shot he has at becoming president, I'm still voting for him. Why would I vote for someone else that I don't really agree with, but simply because they are more popular? That's just stupid, and a waste of a vote. If you aren't going to put any thought into who you choose for president, maybe you shouldn't be voting to begin with.
