This is Ron Paul's last election cycle. He's said so himself. If he doesn't win, he's retiring. Because of that, the face and hope of liberty will change if he doesn't win. There is another man that is running for president, Gary Johnson, that holds the same views as Ron, but has executive experience (governor of New Mexico), and is in his mid-50's. One of the coolest, best stories ever - started a handyman company in NM, then turned it into a multi-million dollar enterprise, then ran for governor as a Republican and won in a state that is 2/3rds Democrat. He's essentially a younger Ron Paul.
I am voting for him *if* he's a viable candidate. Otherwise, I will indeed vote for Ron Paul. Supposedly, Gary is going to seek the Libertarian Party's nomination since the media has abjectively screwed him out of the race.

I have heard a little about Gary Johnson already considering I have lived in Texas for the past 10 years. Anyways, I consider him equal if not better than Ron Pual. I believe he even has a pro marijuana stance.

Pro-pot, pro-gay marriage (not unions), pro-choice. Would balance the federal budget on year-1, and would veto any legislation that would increase spending above revenues. Also anti-interventionist, but maybe not quite as far as RP or Kuchinich.

Ron Paul is pro-life though, at least on a personal level, right?
And I don't like the looks of this Gary Johnson guy. He's got those reptile eyes.
