I know this is the strangest reason to vote for Ron Paul but when budget cutting during a time of 9 % unemployment and anemic job growth is all that both parties talk about, we must face reality: Cuts are coming and they are going to hurt. Since they are coming, let's put the worst first: empire building and maintenance through 100s of overseas bases, endless weapons systems for wars we will never fight, wars that we supposedly are not fighting, wars on drugs,subsidies for international corporations, etc. Only 2 candidates are advocating significant cuts in all of these items: Ron Paul and Gary Johnson. Let's make the latter the VP of the former by persuading Ron Paul to name his cabinet now with a list that includes the likes of Kucinich, Sanders, McKinney at the top.
This blog, written by a progressive who still hopes for change, seeks to persuade readers that the progressive agenda has been put on hold until 2016 except that by electing Ron Paul in 2012, we end endless wars and bring troops home to eventually have resources to build the peaceful green economy.
