Past Democrats have done the same thing. Both parties are guilty of the same things. If you really want to get historical about it. Additionally, Ron Paul has no other options in the way that this country is setup. Your only hope of winning is by fitting into the cookie cutter dynamic of a two party system.
As for the healthcare thing? Please. Why should I have to pay for someone elses medical problems, lifestyle choices and mistakes? And even if I did, why would I want some suit in Washington to decide how that money gets spent? The same guys who vote to give themselves pay raises during the worst recession since the Great Depression? Do you realize how ass backwards that is? This whole concept of socialized medicine is hitting a peak because people are most vulnerable currently than they have been in over 60 years. It's another way for the government to take control of your life.
