Generally I only bring up politics on here when I have to opportunity to lampoon one of the many witless denizens of government buildings across the nation. Since I’ve of a rather strong libertarian orientation, I have plenty of opportunities to do this … I include most any elected official in that category. This time I’m not going to do that. I’m actually excited about the upcoming election … because I might actually have an opportunity I’ve not had before in the brief time that I’ve been of voting age … I might be able to vote for a candidate I actually like, rather than trying to decide whether to vote for whichever of the two major candidates I dislike the least, or just toss my vote in with the Libertarian candidate. Come primary time, I’m casting my vote in the Republican primary for Texas rep Ron Paul, who I happen to agree with on pretty much every issue that he’s spoken on or written about. Heck, I even bought a Ron Paul 2008 bumper sticker which will be plastered on my car within a few short days … something I sure wouldn’t have considered doing for any major party candidate since I was in high school.
