In November of 2006 Americans over-through the George Bush monopoly on the government and gave the Democrats the majority in Congress on the promise to get us out of Iraq. Going on two years later and not one single thing has happened to get us any closer to that goal, as our "trusted" Democratic leaders yell whisper for peace and keep dishing out billions of dollars more to continue the disgraceful war.
Disgruntled Democrats (such as myself) are tired of the lies our elected leaders keep preaching to us so they can receive personal gain and get into power only to turn their backs on us and compromise with the war profiteers in Washington.
The Democrats now have to except the responsibility and the blame for the war in Iraq just as much as the sitting President. They had their chance to prove themselves and failed miserably. The right time to begin pulling out of Iraq has come and gone and that was the first day that they took over Congress, not a year or more after they take over the White House.
The American people are sick and tired of watching the death toll rise in Iraq and thousands more of our young citizens coming home dismembered and mentally disabled. We shamelessly watch as the Bush Administration dumps trillions of hard earned American dollars into countries all over the world, while watching our own country fall into ruins, for some ill-conceived concept of world domination.
(I) and many more Americans don't give a squat about which party is in office. We don't care any more which party our elected officials are in as it means nothing to them and doesn't to us either.
The parties used to define the believed principles of different groups of people in the country and now that concept has been whittled down to just keeping good candidates from invading the coveted and narrow minded two party system. To that we say, bs !
"What Americans want" as the King-Lier keeps saying.... Is a national leader who has integrity and speaks the truth as a true representative of the American people. We want our dignity back that the Bush Administration stole from us. We want to once again to be Proud Americans in the greatest country in the world.
Ron Paul is only one candidate inside the soon to be obsolete two-party system that Americans can 100% say that they trust.
VIEW POINT:
I have always been a Democrat and thought that Republicans were out-to-get us working class Americans.
My Democratic leaders have proven me wrong.
I here-by denounce my affiliation with anypolitical party and will only vote for Real People from this day forward.
My Vote is for Ron Paul !

I doubt very many Democrats will follow your call. Most of them are far too approving of big government to vote for someone against Big Government even if he promises to get us out of war.
Don't be so sure, Logical Premise. I was a Democrat, too, before discovering Ron Paul. I have always valued personal freedom, which the Democrats used to represent better than the Republicans, at least as far as not legislating morality, but I was not always fiscally conservative. I have come to see the error in what I thought was compassion through government programs.
Ron Paul offers the best of both traditions of the GOP and the Dems--freedom when it comes to what we do in our personal lives, freedom in what we do with our money, and freedom from unconstitutional legislation like the REAL ID. Many people don't even realize that they are not free, but they are beginning to wake up and demand their liberty.
I even went so far as to become the Republican Convention Chair for our precinct, and I will be a proud delegate for Ron Paul at our county convention. I wouldn't be surprised if other Democrats get the message, because true freedom benefits everyone.
I am glad you found something you can wholeheartedly support. However, I'm just skeptical that Democrats in general have your and Mr. Matthew's level of self-introspection.
There can be compassion in government programs, but there shouldn't be. If you want to have a welfare system, it should be based on the idea that limited duration and limited amount welfare is an economic aid, not a compassionate choice. Sadly, most big government advocates can't resist trying to legislate morality -- or compassion.
