Ron Paul.
If he makes the nomination, I'll vote for him. His personality and some of his quirks are a little odd, but his ideas on most things are in line with mine.
Sadly though, I doubt he'll make the nomination. The Republican's are so screwed-out right now that they need a name. That's they're only chance, and that's why they'll nominate Giuliani.
As for bashing here, it's actually kind of amusing. It's fun to watch the cultists and the uber-anti's try to one-up each other by seeing who has the more fanatical, outlandish argument.
Neither the Paul fans nor the Anti-Paul crew make any argument that can't be somehow refuted by the other side just due to the sheer amount of information out there.
No, the folks that really get me lately are all the libertarians who scream about Pual as a new Messiah, Libertarian on the inside, running on the Republican ticket so he has a chance. I just don't buy it. The libertarian's couldn't feild a good candidate this time, now their staking claim on someone else's. Also, if the libertarians wouldn't disappear after each election, they could cover a lot more ground and really establish themselves. I'd love the libertarian party, I just can't stand that they vanish 3 years at a time.
