Well said. I'll be voting for Chuck Baldwin because the man who was boooooood off the stage endorsed him. He's a little too extreme on the abortion thing for me but he's the best out there by a long shot. I dont care if people think he cant win at least I'll sleep better at night. My whole family and a heck of a lot of friends are voting for Mccain as well because Obama really is a piece of garbage and they cant stand to see him in there. You are completely correct on that point though, if he does win at least we'll be getting screwed right in our face as opposed to behind the scene. Scary times in this country just glad to see you are smart enough to have guns to protect yourself and your family from those who wish to do you harm.

I've just heard of Chuck Baldwin not too long ago, I wish he was more "known".   I'm still going to write Ron Paul in, it would be most excellent if Chuck Baldwin could be his VP if Ron did get elected.

That would be ideal. I wont hold my breath however.

I know, it seems too good to be true.

this is the full version, but feel free to use the short one if you like it better:

Over the past few months, I have been truly shocked and deeply disappointed to see the support that John Mccain has been receiving from so-called "conservatives" around the country. I have seen conservatives, one by one, or group by group, throw away their principles in a blind support for this despicable tyrant. It makes me feel as though I have stepped into some kind of political twilight zone, as former gun rights supporters prepare to cast their vote for a man who sponsored legislation that would ban private guns sales at gun shows, and who has received an "F-" from Gun Owners Of America (easily the most principled gun rights group in the country). I see people who supposedly believe in low taxes voting for a man who has voted against tax cuts, and proposed new taxes at that! This is the man who is responsible for possibly the worst infringement on free speech in the country's history (and if you don't know what I'm referring to, then you should not be voting anyway - you obviously have no idea what you are doing). The idea that thousands of conservatives will flush their principles down the toilet for such an advocate of huge government this November is sickening. And why are you doing this? The most common answer I hear goes something like "Well, he's better then Obama!" People, I am telling you right now that he is NOT better then Obama - he is worse. He is worse, because he has that magic "R" next to his name that makes conservatives (especially Christian conservatives, for some reason) put down their guard and blindly follow their leader. At least if Obama were elected, you would be on your guard against his harmful policies. Let's face it - if Al Gore had been the one to make the imperialistic decision to invade Iraq, resulting in the deaths of countless civilians and expanding the government at a rate never before seen in this country, you would have realized then that it was a horrible idea. Yet somehow, since President Bush had that magic "R" next to his name, you all looked the other way. Many of you, right now, still feel that the disgusting acts of his regime are justified. When will you all wake up? There are no more conservatives in Washington, with the exception of one - and you all laughed him off the stage. You have been duped! All of these so-called republicans are spineless, big government cowards. They had total control if the 90's, and did NOTHING. Actually, that is not true. They did one thing - they made the government bigger! This year, you all had the chance to elect the most pro-life, small government, pro-gun, anti-tax presidential candidate of the last 100 years - and you booed him off the stage, because big government jerks like Sean Hannity told you to. You should all be ashamed of yourselves for calling yourselves conservatives.
I just want to end this with an even more personal note. Lately, I have been afraid. I have been afraid that when the government that you are voting into office shows up at my door to take my guns or silence my peaceful protest, and I refuse, and they either shoot me or lock me up, you will all be watching it on the evening news and thinking to yourselves, "Thank God we are being protected from these dangerous terrorists."

See a discussion about how nutty the Constitution Party is over here. I still plan to either write in Ron Paul as a protest vote, or leave it blank.

Interesting read. Thanks!
