Based on that synopsis, Mr. Good sounds too much like Romney or even Obama. A lot of Ron Paul supporters will instead be voting for Gary Johnson the Libertarian candidate although some will be voting for Romney, Obama, and Good in probably about that order.

This Democratic administration has gone very deep into the weeds here in offering incentives to local police departments to acquire drones, which are a serious threat to our civil liberties and right to privacy — which liberals should be defending. We’re on our way toward a Big Brother society.My third reason for going Green is the creeping totalitarianism of Obamacare,..."
beginning with the question
OK: Who are you going to vote for?
