Because I know one thing: I will NEVER again vote for Obama. NEVER! I simply do not agree with his aggressive military adventures one iota. I voted for him last time with extreme trepedidation; I was disgusted by his pledge to increase troop strength in Afghan. but I thought perhaps he was lying to appeal to swing voting maniacs who love to blow things up real good. Nope. He meant what he said. For the first time in history, a politician told the truth. 
Ron Paul's non-interventionalism appeals to me greatly. I think if we could stop these wars (and yes, there is still more than one conflict going on right now, despite what we are told by our minders), plus close all those military bases, it would be enough to allow the states to remain solvent. Everything has been bled dry--local and federal. I blame the wars.
However, I am not a libertarian in the least. The only reason Paul doesn't scare me is that his power is as commander in chief and not as a legislator. So I don't fear him removing Social Security and Medicare. Those are programs I would never touch with a ten-foot pole.
