I understand his positions and the changes. As I stated, he was not my first or second choice. He is my choice of those left. Based on his current commitments, and some record particularly in the abortion and family area, I will give him the benefit of the doubt on being able and willing to change.
I have met Dr. Paul personally and have great respect for him. I cannot support his position on the figh5t against Islamic terrorism, and I do not believe he can prevail. As I have said, of those who have the chance to prevail and defeat the Democrats, I will support Romney now, though I had much rather have had Hunter or Thompson. I hope Mit can nab Fred as his running mate at some point.
I know a vote for Romney is basically a vote to buy our Republic more time in the hopes that a Reagan like figure emerges...and also in the hopes that Romney himself will be true to his current stance on issues.
Thanks for your reasoned dialog and your stated feelings on the matter...it is always worthwhile to share heartfelt convictions with others civilly.
