In Light of Recent Events

As I have recently moved out from under a rock, I've noticed that the elections have started for the candidate best to run against President Obama. I find this interesting for several reasons.

1. Up until about two weeks ago, all I knew about politics was a phrase I picked up somewhere over the years about the difference between Republicans and Democrats that probably shouldn't be shared on my blog if I don't wish to receive hate mail in excess. 

2. I've never really been a huge fan of the GOP. I mean, to state it frankly, I'm still really not. I merely feel that many of the things they say are too close-minded for my liking. Myself being pro-choice, pro-equal-marriage-rights, pro-Gaga, pro-controversial-things-for-the-most-part. 

I guess you could say I'm liberal. 

Here, I will state clearly and calmly who I believe to be the best presidential candidate. 

Hold on, allow me to open up my Ron Paul brochure helpfully handed to me by a friend. 

Restore America now... Gee, that sounds like exactly what we need! He's going to end foreign wars?? Wow, I'm so anti-war it's not even patriotic! 

I like Ron Paul. I like him for more reasons than I have ever liked a Republican candidate (which isn't saying too awful much, as I just recently left the rock). 

The awesome thing about his plan is nothing jumps out at me as completely horrible. Nothing about him really seems bad. 

He's smart. He's a physician (OB, I think, which is what I want to be sometimes) that has delivered over 4000 babies. 

He's a military veteran. He knows the horrors of war and knows best what to do for the soldiers fighting everywhere. 

He's the only candidate that has a full plan to balance the budget. We all know we're in massive debt. It would be nice to not owe trillions of dollars and have a virtually ruined economy. 

Now that I've gone off on this political tangent, I may as well ask a favor. If you've read this far without redirecting yourself to facebook, I thank you for your patience. You're the best of the best. 

I, unfortunately, am not able to participate in the primary for Michigan on February 28th, as I'm only 15. If you can, please go vote.

Don't vote for the salamander-er, Newt. 

Don't vote for Rick Santorum, unless you want someone so close-minded it breaks my heart. 

Don't vote for Romney, because he's not as good as Ron Paul. 

Please vote for Ron Paul. He's the only one fit to run against Mr. Obama, truly. 

For America.
