This strange aura around Ron Paul with which he has been anointed by people on the left who don't seem to grasp his desire to dismantle everything they believe in continues to astound me. Ron Paul is Ronald Reagan minus the warmongering and saber rattling. How can that kind of candidate possibly be appealing to anyone who supported the Socialist Party candidate for president in 2004?

I will be voting for Mr. Nader in the PFP-CA presidential primary on February 5th. If we had preferential voting, Rep. McKinney would be my second choice.

I was an active Green way back when and was horny for McKinney to run in 2004 but became disgusted with both Nader and Cobb and got behind Walt Brown. This year of course I'm down with the Ron Paul Revolution. Oh right I forgot about that.

I have talked with a few and they have no intention of becoming active in the Green Party. I think if she had a desire to grow the Green Party in Georgia she probably wouldn't of moved to California Yeah I know that but I am not sure how many of her supporters here in Georgia will join her in her new party.
