I'm not a big fan of Ron Paul, but I AM a big fan of his participation in our Democratic (supposedly) process. His views force the top candidates to stop droning on with their prefabricated campaign messages, and address the real issues...or at least the issues Ron Paul brings to the table. Kucinich served the same purpose: that very much needed burr in the saddle.
What is striking is the arrogance of the traditional media outlets in ignoring or actively excluding candidates' voices: Paul, Kucinich, Gravel, etc. So they are now deciding what we, the American people, need to hear and see? Bastards. Pisses me off to no end.
Since Kucinich has just announced he's dropping out of the race the rogues' gallery is becoming more pronounced. Hell, I don't even know if Ron Paul is still toughing it out even though he doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting the nomination. And after what I've read about his past racist attitudes I am not sure he's as good of a choice as I had once thought. Damn, it's all about trying to choose the lessor of the evils and hope to your Higher Power that they don't bring about our nuclear annihilation before they get out of office.
