I know, it might surprise many of you but I have actually changed my mind on one issue, who I will be supporting of rather not supporting for the Republican nomination. I have relinquished my support for Mitt Romney. Although he's a great guy and an even smarter individual, I honestly see no chance of him winning in the current political climate with his Mormon religion and flip-flopping. I am now supporting Ron Paul. Although this might seem like a strange move, he is a straight talker and an honest and honorable individual. I think he's an even better person than Mitt Romney, but no one can ever really know for sure. At first, I thought Paul was outrageous and just uninformed on a lot of issues but the more I hear him, the more he resonates with what the Republican party truly stands for. He is pro-life, a constitutionalist, pro-gun rights, for smaller government, for the elimination of the IRS and other bureaucratic agencies that have proven to be of little benefit, and against the war in Iraq. Although I don't agree with him on every issue, his message resonates within me and I truly believe he could win against any democrat because he has support on that side of the issue as well. He isn't the typical conservative Republican candidate though. The Democratic Party has shown that it hold no weight whatsoever in withdrawing from Iraq. I don't necessarily agree with him completely on Iraq. I have supported the invasion and occupation for a very long time, yet I am wondering why we are still there and why we are funneling billions of dollars to a cause that I don't really support. I don't think America should be going around and democratizing nations. Ron Paul puts it in different terms i.e. "nation building". He is truly a remarkable person, a doctor who worked pro bono, a loving husband to ONE wife, father to 5 children, grandfather to 17, and an honest congressman who doesn't flip-flop, but stands by his views without wavering. He was one of only four congressmen to support Ronald Reagan for president. The Ron Paul Revolution is real people. Although I haven't made up my mind 100% on him, he certainly has a majority. The other candidate that I could possibly vote for would be Mike Huckabee. Hopefully one of those two candidates gets the nomination, although both are long shots. Ron Paul's support is growing tremendously every day. All in all, I support the Republican Party but I would like to see either one of these gentlemen in the oval office. Anyway, thanks for reading and God bless America.

I like this guy here...though I'm flip-flopped on whom I seem to support at the moment. I like Huckabee first, then have slowly built endearment for Ron Paul.
As far as the Iraq issue...if I were a conspiracy theorist, I'd say that billions of dollars are being rammed into Iraq without much accountability because Bush really wants the dollar to collapse so that he can speed up his little plan with Vicente Fox for moving to a currency for the Americas that is similiar to the Euro. If I were a conspiracy theorist, that is.
Right now I'll just scratch my head and also wonder why billions of dollars are being put into a country and war that much of america is tired of.
