RON Paul for President is not exactly what Daniel Kogoy, a Greens Councillor for Leichardt in Sydney, is suggesting in an article published today at On Line Opinion. But the article does explain some of the reasons why I would vote for Ron Paul...
"Debate raging between Left, Greens and Progressives on whether or not to support Libertarian Republican outsider Dr Ron Paul's bid to win the Republican nomination for President.
Really, it is a no brainer, of course the left should be supporting Dr Ron Paul's bid to win the Republican nomination and many are – see Blue Republican movement. All the other candidates are openly saying that the United States should bomb Iran, whose key allies include China and Russia. All of the other Republican candidates would do nothing to address Wall Street's crimes. All the other candidates would happily attack civil liberties further.
Obama has done nothing to address Wall Street's crimes. His administration is full of people from Wall Street and Goldman Sachs is his largest donor. Civil liberties have been further decimated, and tensions with Iran have been raised to dangerously high levels.

The current lineup of major candidates for the US presidency is a train wreck. They've waffled badly on global warming, hispanics, you name it, they have nasty skeletons in the closet. Ron Paul has stuck to his guns at least, making him both the best candidate and the least likely to win the nomination. Which means that we should consider a re-election of Obama to be a real possibility.
As for the invasion of Australia by a foreign power, that was a Japanese ambition during WWII. Thwarted by the US Navy as I recall. I think the Japanese actually had an Australian beach-head, albeit briefly. Somewhere here there is a history buff who knows more about this.
