I am kind of a reluctant supporter of Obama but all I want is rights for everyone and legalized drugs. The drug war costs too much money and people are doing hard time in prison for things that should be a small fine at the most if not legal. Both parties piss me off. Why does the goverment care that I smoke pot? I want the goverment out of my life, out of my words, out of my garden, out of my guns, out of marriges, out of my internet, out of my air waves, and out of my stash. I renounce my status as a Democrat and am creating the "Get The Goverments Dick Out Of My Ass Party" Also Iran and Vaginas are a bad place to go too.
You want all those things and you're a reluctant Obama supporter? WTH?! If you really want all that stuff and neither major candidate offers it, you either go with the one that offers the most "out of your life" or you go with the Libertarian candidate (or even Ron Paul).
If you think Obama is going to get the government out of your life, just go read what he plans to do as President. One of his latest policy outlines is requiring community service in order to graduate high school and college. I think kids getting involved in their communities is a great idea, but it definitely should not be a requirement and it definitely isn't something the government should be requiring. Leave it up to the parents, students, and schools.
STAY OUT OF MY LIFE!

Does anyone here have thoughts on this Ron Paul guy? One of my pals says he's going to vote for him, but I haven't looked into his views in detail yet myself.
He ran as a Libertarian in the last election. He's now running as a Republican, but his chances are slim to none. Every Ron Paul supporter seems to think he's some great saviour. Oh, he's going to kill corporate involvment in government. He's going to get us out of Iraq. He's going to lower taxes. Yada, yada, yada. What people don't realize is that Ron Paul is a true blue Libertarian. So if he did get elected, sure, he wouldn't take corporate money, but you can bet your ass that he also wouldn't put any regulations in that hamper business. If people think corporations are evil right now, wait until you live in a world with Ron Paul as President. He'd remove most taxes and remove all kinds of regulation. The free market would be truly free and I bet people would hate it. Conservatives would love it. In fact, if it weren't for his stance on Iraq, I'd support him.
