Something tells me he was trying to be sarcastic, or he was joking. It's hard to tell around here sometimes, though. >_>

As much as I hate doing it, I'll have to change my party affiliation, yet again, just so I can vote for him in the primary. Right now, I'm a card carrying Independent because I equally loathe and mistrust both major parties but sometimes you've got to do what you've got to do. Essentially, the same thing that Mr. Paul did just to get some real votes. One of those things where if you can't beat them, join them all just to (hopefully) beat them at their own game.
I used to be a registered Independent, but I just switched to Democrat last month when I renewed my driver's license so I can vote in the primary next year. I don't really like the idea of being a registered member of either major party, either, but since I am far more Democratic than Republican, I decided to choose the lesser of two evils in exchange for a voice in the candidate I'll probably end up voting for anyway.
I really thought that the Republicans had a shot at nominating a decent candidate this time around, one that might actually get my vote. They're all going to hell in a handbasket, though. I used to like McCain (and probably would have voted for him in 2000, because I really didn't care for Gore...as it was, I didn't vote), but I don't know what the hell to make of him anymore. And Giuliani has been pissing me off recently. So the Republicans are pretty much out of it for me.
The Dems have some interesting candidates, they really do, which I'll admit is a bit surprising. Hillary scares me, first of all, there's just something about her that I really don't like. If she's nominated, I don't know what the hell I'm going to do, as I've already said the Republicans have pretty much lost me already. Obama, on the other hand, I think is brilliant. I'm just not really sure whether he's ready to be President or not, though. I also really like Bill Richardson. Edwards is okay, too, I guess. Basically, I'd cast a vote for Obama, Richardson, or Edwards if one of them gets the nomination, but my primary vote will probably be between Obama and Richardson.
