I agree. I was planning on voting for Ron Paul, but then he lost. Then I was thinking of seriously voting for him anyway as a write-in, until Paul Ryan was selected and Romney started listening to him and publicly vowed to get rid of Bernanke and his printing press. That was the clincher for me to vote for Romney. I live in a swing state, so my vote counts, and I didn't want to throw it away on a useless gesture towards Ron Paul. I hate to say that, because I think Ron Paul is the only one who really knows what he's talking about with respect to the economy and the Fed. But this country doesn't elect best people for the job anymore. We're too susceptible to sound bites and shallow thinking. In addition, everyone is in love with the idea that our government can lead us to easy street with fantastical ideas such as money printing is the path to prosperity and deficits don't matter. In the end, the American people are a dumbed down people, who are either too lazy or too uneducated to understand that the consequences of taking heroin too often is that the patient will die. We're dealing death blows to the reserve status of our currency. Is it too late to turn back? I don't know. I hope so. So I'll vote for Romney to see if we can reverse course before it's too late.
