[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 207575, member: 2852"] Thanks Hrstretch for the info. Isn't it interesting all the conflicting information that's out there! Some of those things that Paul voted for, he voted with Dems. I for one don't much care about what party backs what issue as long as the proposal is just. I'm not a straight Republican and I'm not a straight Democrat. Both sides have good ideas and bad ideas although I will admit that Republicans usually have more of the ideas I agree with. But to say that Reps have not had their share of skeletons in the closet is simply untrue. So I believe it is more important to break down each issue and choose the right course of action on an individual basis than to just throw a general party method at them. And this is why I simply cannot vote for McCain. He has had way too many 2nd Amendment follies in his career than I can handle. He's got some good ideas, don't get me wrong. But how could a guy who likes guns as much as I do vote for someone the NRA gave a C minus rating? Or was it a C plus? I can't remember now but it wasn't all that good. Anyhow, I really would like to vote for a Republican this year as the Democratic options are by far worse than the Reps, but McCain simply doesn't have what it takes to lead the Republican party to victory or to lead the US back out of the dark. And if this new info about Ron Paul is true, then he is just another two faced politician as well. The good thing about this whole mess is that we have a balance of power and no one man can really rule. The whole checks and balances thing kicks in and helps out the situation. This is good since there aren't any perfect people with perfect voting records and there aren't any parties that are pure right down the middle. Saying that Republicans are the best or Democrats are the best is like saying all white women ages 55-75 living in the midwest are the best. It's simply too much of a generalization. So what people need to do is vote for the right person, not the right party based on strategic manipulations. But it will take an awful lot of people to vote this way and I don't see it ever happening in my lifetime. On a side note: What is your opinion of Mitt Romney and what would happen if McCain took him on as Vice Pres? [/QUOTE]
