Ron Paul is a great man with a spotless record. My family has known him since the 1980's, and we can say that he is not a flip-flop artist like the vast majority of politicians.

Bob Barr is not perfect, and his record is spotty. There are some policies of his that I disagree with and that the Libertarian party platform isn't aligned with. A great man does not align his platform with the platform of the party.

If Ron Paul is actively running for President come election time, such as by an overturned GOP Convention, then I'll vote for him. Otherwise, I'll be glad to see him still in congress.

I am a Ron Paul supporter, and there is one thing Bob Barr said recently that has made me a Bob Barr supporter as well. He said that in the last ten years his biggest change was his trust in the government. The founding fathers didn't trust the government, the people don't trust the government, Ron Paul doesn't trust the government, and electing a candidate who doesn't trust the government would be the epitome of electing "one of us". Bob Barr no longer trusts the government; he HAS taken the red pill.
