Vote with your brain (not just your eyes)

This man's critical analysis of our country's current state deserves as much exposure as it can get.



This is a politician I only 80% agree with on particular issues, but I can trust that his views are based on careful analysis of empirical observations that largely align with my own. That's rare in politics. The others on that stage are more worried about the day-to-day polling data[1] than any hard-thought personal conviction about what's best for the country.

If Ron Paul looked like Mitt Romney, he'd be elected in a heartbeat.

[1] I don't totally hate McCain, but the one-liner quip about burqas is a rather disgusting example of pandering to emotion. We don't need that sort of thing in politics.
