Ron Paul makes the most sense of the Republicans, and you probably think Hillary and O-Bomb-ya are “Progressives”, with their War Chest Pounding, NAFTA, and revamping or vitamin access

Personally, I don’t care much for any Neo-Libertarian, but his anti-war stand is very brave for a Repuke.

Frankly the only one out of all of them that has any sanity left is Kucinich.
