Let the chips fall where they may

I have decided which presidential candidate to vote for and am sharing my reasoning.

In the past, some have reasoned, go ahead and vote for the liberal Democrat because the Republicans would then stay tuned in and remain concerned. If a Republican won, they would have the illusion that everything was good and would return to their apathy.

This time it's different. I do not want Mitt Romney to win and I want the right wing of the Republican Party to be sent to the showers. Also, I do not want President Obama to win, but if he does, the sky will not fall and the sun will come up Nov. 7.

Obama deserves to be a lame duck president for the next four years for what he has tried to do to this country. It would be justice to see a remade Congress unravel the total government while he sits powerless to stop it.

The National Defense Authorization Act should be the first thing to go. This act gives dictatorial power to the president to detain indefinitely anyone of his choosing. This sort of thing went out with the Magna Carta in the 13th century.

Yes, I'm going to write in Ron Paul and let the chips fall where they may.
