Contrary to conventional conservative wisdom, not every Romney supporter is willing to “gulp” and vote for McCain. I am not going to vote for John McCain. Not even Mitt could bring himself to endorse McCain during his CPAC speech. And it seems folly to me to have a person as commander in chief who feels comfortable fighting on in the middle east, yet has no interest in securing our borders and deporting those who break our laws by living in America illegally.

John McCain has some troubling personality traits. And I cannot in good conscience vote for him.

I LOVE Ron Paul. I have followed his career for years and have been so grateful for his clairty on CODEX and CAFTA and the attempts by pharmacuetical companies to take over the world.
His strict constitutionalist stance is troubling to those of us who have felt comfortable with the Neo Con position on the war in Iraq. Yet in principle, he is completely right that the constitution gives strict rules regarding engagement in wars in foreign lands.
I don’t regret that our military has been put to such use these past five years. I believe we have been engaged in a noble endeavor to help free the people of Iraq from a dangerous dictator.
I was proud to watch Sadaam hang, and thrilled with every election in Iraq. I continue to marvel at the wisdom of our military leaders, and I KNOW that the surge has been a complete and utter success.
But with our economy stumbling right now I have to wonder about our ability to continue to nation build in Iraq.
Did our Revolutionary Founders expect the French Soldiers who came to fight alongside the patriots during the war to stay and help them with the many, many issues that were hammered out during our first hundreds years of freedom in America? All we have to do is look at those first few decades of American History to understand that Freedom is a difficult thing to maintain and preserve for the next generation.
What sort of a role do we have to play in the middle east? I agree with Dr. Paul that our role should be primarily to set a good example for the other nations of the world. And I believe strongly that we should set our own house in order and then set a good example of sound constitutional adherence and reverence before we go telling other countries how to preserve their own constitutions and liberties.
I will be voting for Dr. Paul as a delegate in the Boulder Colorado County Election, and I will vote for Dr. Paul in the fall election.

Won’t you join me in learning more about Ron Paul and the Freedom Principles he stands for?
