I am a...Republican???

I was called by a opinion poller about an hour ago. In the poll, the lady asked me whether I was Republican, Democrat, or Independant. My entire life I would have answered Independent or even Libertarian. But today for the first time in my life I answered Republican.

Why? For one reason only... Ron Paul!!! He has made it clear that he intends to open the GOP back up to people such as myself that support smaller government. Since he is making a serious effort to do this, I will make a serious effort to call myself a Republican and help he get to the White House.

How many others are there out there that have left the GOP or never joined it not becuase you liked the Democrats better, but becuase you did not think see the difference between the two? I imagine as more people like myself start identifying as Republicans the polls are going to start showing a huge upswing in Ron Paul support.

Give Dino some advice

Dino Rossi is currently asking for advice on how to improve Washington. I offered the following suggestions.

1. Decrease the time legislation is in session. Make it a part time job again.
2. Re-privatize the ferry system.
3. Elliminate the liqour control board.
4. End the war on drugs in Washington state.
5. Create an economic freedom zone like they did in New Orleans after the hurricane. If it is good for the economy after a disaster, then it should be good for one wihtout a disaster.
6. Endorse Ron Paul for President in 2008.

He may very well run for governor again so if he gets enough suggestions to actually reduce government maybe he will campaign to reduce government and actually improve our state. Send him your suggestions. Or at least ask him to endorse Ron Paul!!!
