Ron Paul is a white guy from Pittsburgh. He started out checking hand washed milk bottles for spots with his brothers in the basement of his parents house, then he went to Gettysburg and Duke to get biology and medicine degrees, then he was a flight surgeon in the Air force and National guard, then he was in congress, then he ran for president hella times and lost, but now he is giving it another shot.
I ride with Obama, even though he doesn't need or want my support, can't blame him either, as even I see myself as a liability to his campaign. But it is what it is. I mostly ride with him because he is black, I also agree with some of the stuff he say and does, but it comes and goes. I get that he has it bad, first negro to do anything gets it the worst, just ask the first black skydiver, or Rosa Parks.
I also ride with Ron Paul, if only to the corner up the block, even though he doesn't need or expect my support, can't blame him either, as even I am surprised that he is still a candidate. I mostly ride with him because he makes sense. He makes it tough though, I read that manifesto his peoples dropped, yup, same old shit they were talking bout back then, nothing new. Which sucks as now I can't fully trust his words today after hearing the words he allowed then, like a perpetual probation. Jay put it best, "So it's tough bein' Bobby Brown, to be Bobby then, you gotta be Bobby now."
I'm pretty meh over the whole thing though, cause the way I see it caring about who wins the whole shebang is like caring about who Kate Middleton beat out to marry the prince, as if its gonna affect Parliament. Ain't nobody fucking with congress right now, they have the game in a headlock. I get the feeling they are laughing at the black guy the old guy and the weird religion guy battling it out to see who wont get their legislation passed.
Politics these days are a lot like a cipher. A couple dudes spit raw and get love, some hop in, kick knowledge, and get a couple nods, then some are just wack, they jump in out of nowhere, talking over other mc's about ridiculous shit, and can't keep a beat. During their turn everybody looks around and chats among themselves till they done blabberin'.
