He's just as screwy, perhaps more so, than the other crazies we have running for office. There's nothing to be proud of in being a rabid Ron Paul supporter.

Oh come on, Ron Paul doesn't mumble that much. “Next time, vote for the old, mumbling man who tells you the ugly truth.”

We need to get rid of career politicians, require that politicians can spend no more than two terms in *ANY* office, then they have to spend at least a term in the private sector before they can run for *ANY* office again. It'll weed out the people who are just there to garner fame, fortune and influence and we'll only have people who want to serve the public interest running for office.

Anyone who is insane enough to actually pursue a political position at the national level is probably someone without enough character to actually <i>lead</i>. It's all about amassing power, not doing the correct thing. That's why they all resemble used-car salesmen, Janus. They need the citizens to buy their snake oil in order to remain in power.

I can't remember the last time there was a single candidate in any race who I could wholeheartedly support and vote for without reservation, it just doesn't happen. Politicians are self-serving egotistical jerks who are out for personal glory, they might spin a good yarn about caring for the people and wanting to serve their constituents, but they just want to make political contacts and get re-elected so they can make a ton of money and power for themselves. It's hard to pick the best candidate when there's nothing worthwhile to pick from. The problem is, nobody who I would really want in charge ever runs for office.
