Bush.

President Obama's continuation of bush era -- essential as such as hostile -- war in the Middle East.

Intervention in Libya and -- blatant crony capitalism in the case of Solyndra is actually forcing some Democrats.

To abandon their party.

Have you decided that Ron Paul is the president we need.

Because Ron Paul is very frank and honest I saw him this week Wednesday night in Portsmouth and last night in the Colonia.

He's not an afraid person at all he's not hedging his bets he says what he believes and I think we would not see any kind of you know tit for tat.

Quiet you know I won't touch this topic I won't touch that topic if you don't kind of deal.

-- -- otherwise between him and Obama when we have Ron Paul as a presidential candidate.

Facing up with a Obama during debates I think gun.

During the time of Clinton and HW bush neither of them talked about Nicaragua.

Each one it had some part in that.

He's got the -- energy policies got the same war is going he's got Guantanamo still -- Oil policy is not changed a bit in.

I I just don't see that he at all -- if anything he's gonna up as opposite direction.

OK let me say that he promised you -- participated -- one of the occupied Wall Street gatherings I think in Washington DC.

Did you -- -- -- other Ron Paul supporters there.

I did I ran into -- clutch of young people in their twenties carrying Ron Paul signs.

And I said to them are you really for Ron -- and they said.

Yes and we were there at the end of first street the ten year anniversary at the Afghanistan war starting October 4.

So a lot of that come there because we're anti war we want the wars stop on what the troops -- -- young people also wanted Ron -- as president -- Last question -- you -- how have your fellow Democrats reacted.

To your desertion of your life long party in order to vote for Ron Paul.

It's a good question I had lots of people say to me what are you doing.

Because they question his social policies and I say top of the top of them pile for concerns for -- is stock in war -- and Ron Paul.
