Joe Scarborough: Why I Voted for Ron Paul
MSNBC host notes that this is his first “protest vote.” For most of us supporting Dr. Paul it wasn’t simply a protest–it was to get him elected president. Regardless, I think Scarborough’s piece here not only illustrates where many disenchanted voters are attitudinally, but also why Ron Paul speaks to those voters. Romney might have the nomination in Tampa, but Paul will have America’s attention.
Writes Scarborough at Politico:
I operate on instinct. So I should not have been surprised by my own gut reaction to the absentee ballot that lay before me on the kitchen table.
I scanned the list for Republican primary candidates and let instinct take over.
Mitt Romney? Not on your life. A big government Republican who will say anything to get elected.
Rick Santorum? No way. A pro-life statist who helped George W. Bush double the national debt.
Newt Gingrich? Ideologically unmoored. A champion of liberty one day, a central planner the next.
Ron Paul? Yep. I quickly checked his name and moved on to a far more complex task: fixing my daughter a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
After spending six months analyzing each candidate’s every move for three hours a day, five days a week, it never occurred to me that my decision to vote for the quirky congressman from Texas would happen as fast as a tornado whipping through an Amarillo parking lot…
But I also would never vote for a GOP candidate who was the godfather of Obamacare, or another who added $7 trillion to Medicare’s debt or yet another who bashed Paul Ryan one week and venture capital the next. Faced with this truckload of big government Republicans, I cast my vote for the only candidate who spent his entire public career standing athwart history yelling “stop” to an ever-expanding centralized state.
While Romney was distancing himself from Ronald Reagan, Paul was fighting with Republicans to balance the budget for the first time in a generation. While Santorum was supporting an unprecedented expansion of entitlement spending, Paul was warning of a great recession that would be caused by government interference in the housing market. And while Gingrich was talking about how he would build up the federal government to push his conservative agenda, Congressman Paul spent all his waking hours focused on dismembering that big government beast.
It was the first “protest” vote I’ve ever cast, and it felt … well, it felt good…

The Satan is the Next and Current USA President!
Changing colors, faces and sex of the USA President never means at all any kind of change in the Masonic and Zionist agenda for USA and the world!
Maybe the Zionist and Masonic Lobby decide to bring the Satanic Mrs Clinton to distract people attention to superficial things that gives a false impression about how Democratic the USA is! Last time, they brought a black President just for deceiving the world , especially Arabs and Muslims about Hussein Obama!
Even, if they plan to bring Romeny, who is also Zionist, Masonic and Israeli, who will complete the agenda , to destroy the world by disasters caused by HAARP and Chymtrill, to collapse the world economy, to spread violence to promote weapons market, to arrange for the Third World War, to occupy Egypt, Sinai and Suez Canal, to divide the Middle East into Great Israel and Great Shiite Iran on the dead bodies of Arabs, Christians and Sunni Muslims, while continuing to deceive people that USA is the symbol of freedom, which is really the symbol of the Satanic fire that will burn the earth!
Obama will start a new war against Egypt and Syria, to guarantee his success in elections. He is taking good care of Radicalist Terrorist Muslim Brotherhood of Ikhwan, who had already threatened to burn, explode, kill and attack Egyptians, army, police and Christians if their Ikhwani candidate Morsy did not win the elections!
They threatened to kill Shafik, who is supported by more than 85% of Egyptians now, who refuse to allow Terrorist Ikhwan to rule Egypt!
Ikhwan are selling Sinai lands, companies, factories , banks and everything to Qatar and Iran then to Israel and Iran, while burning and destroying Egypt to force Egyptians to accept the deal to sell Suez Canal to Qatar then to Israel , to give Sinai to terrorist Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Qaeda and Iran, then to accept to divide Egypt!
Snipers of Blackwater and Hamas arrived to Egypt, are living in hotels in all cities, waiting for the Zero hour to start burning, exploding and killing.
USA announced thousand times that it is supporting Ikhwan to rule Egypt and Wikileaks showed that USA agreed with Elbaradei, Soros Puppet and Ikhwan to support them to rule Egypt in return to pushing Palestinians into Sinai with Jihadists, so that Israel starts war against Egypt with the help of Iran!
Human Rights are keeping silent about imprisoning Mubarak, who is innocent, brave, and 84 year old , had major surgeries and is in a bad condition, like how they are defending criminals and terrorists and calling them activists!
