I have no more respect, trust or confidence in any of the republicans then the Democrats. The only person who will get any vote at all from me this election season is Ron Paul. Otherwise, there is no point in voting. Everyone else is equally bad, just in different ways. On top of that, Ron Paul is the only one who isn't promising to break his oath of office before even making it. How can you trust people who do that? In that respect, you really can't trust anyone except for Paul. Putting trust in people who vow to break oaths before making them is how we ended up with garbage like the Patriot Act and Americans getting their heads cut off in distant lands over nonsense.
I do all I can to get Paul in to office. So far, he's doing good. Sure, he has been showing up in 4th place, but this is in states who have been putting a guy who won't shut up about Jesus far ahead of him. I presume the odds are going to change considerable when we get in to the bigger states. From what I understand, the Polls have been very inaccurate in comparison with the actual voting results so far, so none of us can accurately predict where this is going. One thing DOES seam pretty clear. If he DOESN'T get elected, you can kiss the constitution of the United States good by. No one else has proven to be much, if at all capable of resisting things like national ID cards, RFID tags and the infamous Patriot Act II which WILL end the function of the constitution as we know it. If you want the constitution to work, you have to respect ALL of it, not JUST the parts you like. Since most of the people on gun forums actually don't practice this, and much more don't care enough or take seriously enough what's happening, the odds of Ron Paul winning in deed are quite limited. None the less, it's our final shot at peacefully getting our country back. To those who prefer to vote for a winner over what they believe in, and those who can't get infringement past them, enjoy the loss of your country and the loss of your freedom.

In other words, when you do to others, you open the door for such to be done to you. If you infringe on other peoples liberties that you don't like (drugs, weird sexual behavior etc.) you welcome the liberties you enjoy (gun rights) to be infringed upon. This is the natural punishment for infringement.
