if ron paul doesn’t win the republican nomination he will run under as an independent, it’s what he is always done. and i’m glad to see more people starting to pay attention even if it takes horrible situations for it. and you will only be able to vote in the primary if you designate yourself a party, that is where the multiple republican hopefullys run against each other and then one of them gets the nomination, the general election is where you actually vote for who gets to be president and all the other shit that people can win.

i think this is the first time i have been helpful in a political thread. wtf.
