Ron Paul Kills Possibility of Third Party President

I remember first listening to Dr. Ron Paul speak during a radio interview and while I am a registered Republican, I found his ideas enticing. I do believe that the government does have some business dealing with certain issues and it has been that way since the founding of this nation. However, Paul's ideals led me to believe that if there were more Libertarians in the government, perhaps both the Democratic, and Republican Parties could be reigned in a bit. Over time we have sorted ourselves into two Parties and as of late these two Parties have ceased doing what is best for this Nation and are only concerned with which of the two hold the most power at any given time.

I was really excited to hear a politician that seemed to understand what America was all about and how there must be change in the way government does business. As it stands now the Congress has the lowest approval rating that it has ever had in the history of this nation, and the President's rating broke records for a new low. It was my sincere hope that this election cycle we would see a Third Party candidate walk away with the Presidency solely based upon the public's opinion of both of the ruling Parties.

In this Presidential term we have seen war like there has never been before and even now they are speaking of possibly expanding that war to include Iran. The economy has fallen to a point where in California you can buy one house and get one free. Oil is at an all time high and gas is going for an average of $4.50 a gallon and it is not finished yet. Many people believe that the country is facing inflation due to the government playing with the interest rates. Unfortunately, the truth of the matter is that the Dollar has been devalued and that is why everything cost more. Simply put, your dollar is worth less so it takes more of them to buy goods.
