The Independent voters in 2006 starting trending bigtime to the Democratic Party. They were totally turned off by "W" and the neo-cons. What Ron Paul does is give them an excuse not to support the Democratic Party.

As someone who votes with his beliefs and not with party affiliations, I disagree with you.

Ron Paul doesn't give me an excuse to not support the Democratic party, the idiots I elected in the last two elections have done more than enough on that front for themselves, especially the last batch.

RP or not, this time around anyone who's not done a damn thing for my goals, or who is not an incumbant, gets the nod, party lines be damned. When it comes to the POTUS, I'm deeply concerned because the front runners from both parties are useless windbags who are out to do more damage to our country than they'll fix.

Ron Paul, on the other hand, gives me someone who supports the Constitution and will do much in the way of bringing things back in line with what the framers intended. I'm not stupid enough to believe for a second that income tax, et al, will be razed (even if he tried, Congress would prevent that). I'm also of no belief that abortion would be outlawed, not only would Congress seek to battle that, but abortion is such a major plank for both parties they'll forever seek to keep it in flux.
