Willekeurige reaktie van een bezorgde kiezer

In New Mexico kunnen Democraten niet aan de Republikeinse primaries meedoen, evenals in Californie. Mensen schrijven zichzelf dus in als Republikein, puur vanwege de frustratie over de gang van zaken en het houvast dat Ron Paul historisch heeft geboden en nog biedt.

Gelukkig heeft men in de VS nu wat te kiezen, iets wat van Medeland niet gezegd kan worden. Men kan kiezen voor méér individuele vrijheid. Let daarom vooral ook op het vetgedrukte hieronder. Tijd voor de Libertarische Partij om uit de slaapstand in aktie te komen wellicht..


Same in New Mexico

Which is why I'm doing what only a few months ago would have been unthinkable -- registering Republican. Actually, I haven't registered or voted since 1988, the last time I voted for Ron Paul, and I haven't been registered Democrat since 1972, I think it was -- I was Peace & Freedom in '76, Citizens' Party in '80, then Libertarian in '84.

Anyway, I remember a Ron Paul slogan from '88, which I've taken to heart: "I'd rather vote for what I want and not get it, than vote for what I don't want and get it." No more "lesser of two evils"; my vote is my responsibility, and I'll cast it (or not) so has to have no regrets.

There is no Democrat who comes anywhere near Ron Paul. There may be one or two who want to end the war, that's about it -- and still they want to perpetuate, even expand, what causes the wars. "War is the health of the State." If you want to limit wars, limit the State, don't feed it.
