(24,411 posts)...voting for Romney, Gingrich or Bachman. I'm a liberal Democrat!!!
I am not *voting* for Ron Paul. However, I would consider caucusing for him--because
it sends a message that those other far-right, nut job squirrels need to be kicked to the curb.
I don't agree with 80 percent of what Paul says. However, my biggest issue--by far--is the
power that the corporations and the warmongers (neocons) have on this country. They've
got a friggin death grip on our politicians!
I like that Paul at least, addresses the neocons and tells them that they're warmongering
tools who need to pipe down. So, I would caucus for him.
And PLEASE remember---the Republican caucus is one thing. I would attend that and caucus for Paul. However, when
the Democrats caucus, later in January--I will caucus for Obama. Things are a bit different in Iowa, with the
caucus system.
However, I am a liberal Democrat--and I am hoping that Obama pulls some sort of miracle between now
and the election. I need to see some shred of evidence that he is interested in restoring our democracy.
That's my big hope. It's no use scenario-ing out a Paul v. Obama run--because Romney will win the
Republican nomination. No way in hell could I vote for that tool. Corporate sucker all the way and he's
wrong on ALL social issues.
