Paul is answer to left/right politics

It always seems like both sides of the aisle over the last few years have been two big political parties wanting your tax money to grow the size of government and create a new way for you to be monitored, taxed and regulated.
Things are getting bad in America. I can feel it, you can feel it. But how can we begin to set our national house in order? Pander to one side of the aisle, and then in four or eight years, the other side? Back and forth like a pendulum until we are out of time?
I say no. Put left/right politics aside and vote for Ron Paul in the Ames straw poll. Show government that we can support someone who has always voted against new taxes, more government regulation and controls, against corporatist bailouts and big banker cronyism.
