Why I voted for Ron Paul...

I voted for Ron Paul...again.
I didn't do it, because I expected him to win. I did it, because I thought he was the best candidate and didn't want the media to decide who I voted for. He finished in last place in the Florida primary. The media front runners (and the delegate leaders) finished as projected. Once the republican nominee is established (if it isn't already), I will then decide who to vote for in the general election.
I am not going to let the media dictate who I vote for to be the republican nominee. It is sad that we only have two established parties that have a chance in the general election, but being that it is a given that one of the established parties will win, in the general election you have to choose, but not for the republican nomination!
I think anything can happen, still. Is Ron Paul likely to win the nomination? No. However, he is not out of it. At this point, he has a much better chance at the nomination than Gingrich, simply because his supporters are passionate. The further down Gingrich gets, the less support he will receive.
Why do I support Ron Paul? I base my political beliefs on Liberty and Justice. His ideals match up with what I believe.
