I am not a Democrat, nor am I a Republican. In fact, I have never voted for either a Democrat or a Republican in any of the past presidential elections for which I was eligible to vote. Ronald Reagan and Ron Paul are the only two Republicans for whom I would have been willing to vote; I was too young to vote for the former, and the Republican Party prevented me from having the opportunity to vote for the latter.
Needless to say, nominating John McCain looks just as foolish in retrospect as it did at the time. It seems he wasn't quite as electable as his media champions repeatedly insisted he was.
One point that I have attempted to drive home throughout the eight years I have been writing this column is that while the bases of the two major parties are made up of two very different kinds of people, the national politicians who purport to represent their party ideologies in the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives do not, in fact, do so. Instead, they make up a single bifactional ruling party that is far more concerned with maintaining the status quo than with actually championing the views of either of the ideological parties that elect them.

Mr. Paul lacks common sense where national security is concerned.
