If all we have to choose from is obama and mccain, i don''t think i will waste my time in going to the polls. Be nice if everyone stayed home and didn''t vote, what would they do then ? Maybe that is a way to get some decent candidates that will ru this country the way Americans want it to be ran.

danstoned, Don''t you read polls and a cross-section of the media, or is your login name an indication of your state of mind?

Libertarians are pro-choice, oppose the drug war, and oppose government spending and controls. That sound like any Republicans you know??

Every female Republicon I know is pro-choice and voting for Obama. Every Republicon I know is against the drug war, and all the men are voting Bob Barr. Which begs the question, who on earth will be voting for Jewn McCain? The outcast Neocons and Israel First Traitors, and nobody else.

Small government is a goal both libertarians and republicans pursue. Which begs the question, is the political spectrum just a snake eating it''s tale?

kansas1946,
It sounds like you are searching for a group that sees the world with no shades of gray. It is possible to be pro-choice but have serious concerns about late-term abortions, not be particularly concerned about soft illegal drugs but have grave concerns about heroin and cocaine, and realize that government has some role to play - just not drowning the populace with EU-like regulations and excessive taxes.

(CBS/ AP) Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul will end his campaign Thursday night and announce a new effort to help elect libertarian-leaning Republican to public offices around the country.
**********************************************

That''s good, because there are no "Libertarian leaning" Republicans.

*** I did my homework, Why don''t you do your homework first? Google Mccain and Amnesty, and you will see that Mccain voted to allow over 12 million illegals to get amnesty! Is that what you want from the next president? Someone that co-sponsors a bill to give over 12 million illegals amnesty? I''m voting for Obama out of spite! Republicans need to get there *** together. If the country leans slightly to the right, why did the republicans pick a candidate that is way too far on the left on the subject of amnesty for illegals?

Americans should seriously consider Obama and McCain, and decide to vote on the lesser of two evils. I have read of many who are planning a Paul write-in; however, to do so, takes one vote away from the lesser, thereby not canceling out one vote in favor of the greater of two evils. Please re-consider the idea of writing-in Ron Paul.

Paul''s announcement will be a formality.

No $hit. Considering this fool''s candidacy was over before it even started, there''s no need in stating the patently obvious.

Paul was supposed to have a convention in Minneapolis before the RNC. I wonder what threat, er what was said to persuade him to drop out of the race? Congressman, I too thank you for your wisdom, vision, and straightforwardness. I realize the chances are between slim and none, but how about joining forces with Dennis Kucinich to impeach Bush?

We''ll see how many people are still nuts about him four years from now.

Anyone still care about Ross Perot?

GO OBAMA

homespunlady, I can''t recall anybody calling John McCain a beauty queen. Perhaps Obama might have an outside shot on "America''s Next Model".

Thank You Congressman Paul.

Keep pushing the issues you feel are important.

You were THE ONLY CANDIDATE to make the CALL ON THE ECONOMY CORRECTLY when all the others were concentrating on being "beauty QUEENS".

Substance, Answers to REAL issues and HONESTY seem to be on the "endangered species list" nowadays.

It was REFRESHING to get a glimpse of those things again.

Oh, BTW, I think it was CNBC that ran a poll asking if the voters preferred Ron Paul in the race and EIGHTY SIX PERCENT said yes - it made the race more lively and interesting.

THAT ALONG WITH FORCING THE "BEAUTY QUEENS" into at least LOOKING AT the REAL ISSUES facing the American people made Paul''s efforts WELL WORTHWHILE.

besides Ralph Limbaugh of the Fascist FOX network for Nazi lovers.

*** Mccain is so far left that even Limbaugh won''''t endorse him! I hate amnesty mccain!

The trouble with Ron Paul is he was born 100 years too late. His views would have been right in line with Republicans of 1908. Unfortunately for him, the world has moved on.
