Beards vote Libertarian

If I were to at some point rub a bottle of any type, thusly freeing a genie, I would be granted three wishes (I saw it in a Disney movie with Robin Williams as the genie). My first wish: I would like to be able to grow a glorious beard. A manly chin mane. As I am apparently slow to pubesse coupled with many what I believe to be Aryan features; I am unable to grow such a MANifestation ®. I'm starting to believe this is because I have never voted Libertarian. I have three buddies who recently took a bustrip to Minneapolis to see Dr. Ron Paul, Congrassman at Law? All three of these buddies have bought into the hype of The rEVOLution: A Manifesto (ie: will be voting for Ron Paul this November). All three of these buddies also have GREAT UBERHOSS BEARDS! Beards the likes of which would take approximately thirty generations of Billys to grow, yet only two weeks for these fellas. Personally, I agree with a lot of what I've heard Ron Paul say. The guy knows his stuff and has stuck to that knowledge for a long time. I will not be voting for Ron Paul. I do not see myself supporting a third party candidate unless they are absolutely viable. I DO look at it as a waste of my vote. My vote is not my voice... The responsibility of voting is more important than that. If you know the winner will be one of two choices, it is your responsibility to vote to keep the "greater of two evils" out. That is my opinion on that matter. This is not the only reason I will be voting for Barack Obama. I consider him just about the opposite of an evil. The great thing about this election is that it has spurned a couple of the most influential speakers of my generation. I believe Barack Obama to be the greatest of these (currently). I hang on every word of his speeches. He makes change seem posibble. His plans seem realistic. They are modifications versus complete overhauls of systems to make them productive. Unfortunately, the closer we get to The Election™, the less I see of the traits I initially liked from Obama. Playing the middle road and toning down the rhetoric of your opinions to play to voters... it's bad news. I don't want to see "more of the same" in any aspect of the Obama campaign. That's what I'm voting against. I want change. I want a beard. I'll vote Libertarian in 2012 if I have to...
