Strategic Republican Voting
Cynthia Rosenberry

Whether you're a Republican or a Democrat or whatever and you're a patriot, you'll want to see this guy run against Hillary Clinton. I know I do. Guess who I'll be voting for?

Not just 'cuz I want to see someone in the head office who can swear the oath to protect the U.S. Constitution and mean it; someone who will stand by that oath, year after year; someone who's proven they can do it with their voting record. That's a good reason but that ain't the only reason.

I wanna see someone who will repair the damage done by this administration and restore our country's reputation and relationship with the rest of the world. Who will make that happen? Once upon a time, I'd have assumed the answer would be the default Democrat but if that's Hillary Clinton, sorry guys, not this time.

Most of all, I want to see someone end this God-forsaken war. Most everyone can see it's a pointless waste of lives and money. Those who can't see it, I don't know what to say to them except, prioritize. Who's gonna tip the scales? A pro-war Republican, an anti-war Republican, or a Pro-war Democrat?

Here's what I think: if Ron Paul wins the primary, you're going to see a whole new spin from the Republican machine. Suddenly this guy is going to be the "It" guy. You'd feel the love on Pluto. And Republicans in general will find out more about him, see more of him, and realize, he's a nice guy. Way nicer and more likable than Bush. And he's going to show them what's really been going on and better still, how it can be fixed. Liberals who want the war ended will vote for the anti-war candidate. Nobody third party will vote for Hillary Clinton. Those numbers add up.

Do I sound like a conservative? Not exactly. Ron Paul is an old-fashioned guy and we think differently about certain issues but setting that aside... Look at what his supporters accomplished on November 5th, raising so much in one day. He obviously has the ability to polarize the young, the old, pretty much everyone who's not for Hillary Clinton.

Look, y'all...do I have to vote for Hillary Clinton? Seriously? I really don't want to vote for Hillary but I suppose I will if that's my only option. (No, the other Republicans are not an option for me.)

Half this country didn't make this mess, but it's time to clean it up or get used to a longer-term change in lifestyle as the value of our money lessens and our homes and hourly wages mean acceleratingly less and less by the year.

I'm voting for Ron Paul in the Republican Primary so I won't have to vote for Hillary Clinton in the general.

Spare us poor Democrats and lefties from having to vote for Hillary...save us from that fate by voting for Ron Paul in the primary. And spare yourself eight years more of the Clintons.

Consider who among the Republicans can realistically win this nation's vote. If Ron Paul wins the Republican nomination, it will change this election. I really can't see many Democrats or independents switching parties and voting for Guiliani or Romney or whomever. Just not gonna happen. But a lot of Democrats and independents will vote for Ron Paul.

Watch this interview again and think about it.
