As a fairly middle-of-the-road unaffiliated voter, I generally avoid recommending political candidates (mostly because they’re all pretty much the same).  Recently, however, I’ve found myself becoming more and more excited about Ron Paul and his views…enough so that I’m actually going to be registering as a republican in order to vote for him in the primaries.  I’ve also decided that it’s my duty as an American to take a somewhat more active role in the political process.

This doesn’t mean that I’m about to launch into some long rant about Ron Paul, or start harassing people about their views.  It does, however, mean that I want to at least recommend that people look into Ron Paul.  That’s how I discovered him after all…it was a co-worker, Mike Toles, who simply suggested, “Google Ron Paul.”  When I finally did, I liked what I saw.

So that’s all I’m suggesting here:  Simply type his name into Google or YouTube.  I think his views and voting record speak for him better than my crappy little blort could, anyway.  Specifically, I’ve rather enjoyed the writings that can be found on his official campaign website.

So there you have it.  My official endorsement of Ron Paul.  If you decide you don’t like him, though, remember…vote for me.
