Drop your partisanship mindset. Vote for principles, not party. Vote for Ron Paul in 2008.

The title is a quote from the end of the article that I quote in part below:
Allow me to tell you about a worthwhile man for the Presidency of the United States. He’s an experienced Congressman from Texas, an important member of a major Congressional committee, and a gynecologist by trade. He has voted consistently against every single war supporting initiative, all the way back to Bill Clinton’s “Iraq Liberation Act” that Bush has used to justify invading Iraq. He was a fierce opponent of the Bush Administration, even in the days after September 11th when so many other politicians kowtowed before the Almighty Executive. He has introduced legislation that calls for the decriminalization of non-drug hemp farming and other acts that cut funding for a plethora of government programs. He voted against all forms of the PATRIOT Act and has gone against his party so often that they can never rely on him for a vote unless the legislation in question is strictly Constitutional and ethical (which is rare, considering the party). This man has even stood his ground against the wave of “Support Our Troops!” propaganda, voting against every war bill even while being attacked for not “providing armor” to G.I.’s in Iraq and other such nonsense, becoming one of only four members in Congress to have voted against every war funding bill since the invasion of Iraq.
Who is this man? Is it Barak Obama, who has no experience as a statesman and wouldn’t know Constitutional legislation if it slapped him? Is it Hillary Clinton, who suffers similar inabilities at obeying Federal Law and voted to invade Iraq? Perhaps it’s Biden, Dodd, or one of the other no-name candidates that have filed to run as a Democrat in 2008 and have also proved themselves to be sheep in the face of a warmongering President? One way or another, such an anti-war candidate must surely be a Democrat, right?
Wrong.
The only person that is considering running in 2008 that has consistently been against the war and all unConstitutional Federal spending or actions is Representative Ron Paul, from Texas. Dr. Paul is, unfortunately for some, a Republican.
