EXACTLY

Also, I'd rather not get snubbed for using simple vocabulary, something I've ingrained in myself because I was tired of having to explain words to my friends.

Sad thing is, I actually respect Paul for what he wants to do. I just don't think he's the right person to finish the job in Iraq. In the spirit of Colin Powell, "You break it, you buy it," and even if we tell ourselves that Iraq is no longer something America needs to see through, to turn our backs on the country does not absolve us from the blame or responsibilty.

Oh, and btw, I happen to be a military brat who will be in the ranks of the army which I apparently care so little about once I finish college.

That's fine Phoenix, maybe when you come back from the middle east you'll have the same kind of incite as the veterans that are voting for Ron Paul.

The main difference between you and I is, where you would try and rationalize things staying the way that they are because they are so screwed up and how there is no room for change. I on the other hand am the one standing up and saying things do need to change because they shouldn't be that way. That there is no better time for change to take place then when over half a nation can testify in the same regard. An while you can try and explain and expand on the finite differences between what I've compared what you've said against what you think your really saying, you'll not convince me otherwise. An while you may think it of me, it's not because I'm arrogant or that I am so frustrated at your stubbornness that I just want to write you off as a hopeless cause. It's because that's the honest conclusion I've come away with from your posts on where you stand in this election.

Well as long as we're on the same page, I'm fine with that. Despite our differences, I must say I found your posting enlightening and helped me to get a better sense of Ron Paul, so thanks.

And I'm gone for the last time (I mean it, I swear ).
