Anybody but Bush?

At this point in such a lame election cycle, I am tempted to get a Jeb Bush write-in campaign going...
Facts about the GW Bush administration:
GW Bush *NEVER* attacked another country without Congressional approval. Clinton did and Carter did.
GW Bush *NEVER* used the US military against our own citizens. Clinton did in Waco.
GW Bush *NEVER* was impeached. Clinton was.
These are some pretty hefty reasons to keep the Bush dynasty alive. I am a Constitutionalist at heart and am quite satisfied at the way the Bush clan has revered and cherished our Constitution in real time.. while being VERY disgusted at the Clinton treatment of our Constitution.
Spending habits of twice-elected President GW Bush aside, I give him an A+ for supporting our Constitution and would welcome Jeb as our next president if only he would do the right thing and run.
Even though I am a staunch conservative, I voted for Ross Perot in 1992 and I voted for Steve Forbes in 1996, so don't think I am bluffing. There are many out there just like me. We handed Bill Clinton the win in both elections and don't think for a second that I wouldn't suffer the same exact result in the name of what is right.
(Great... my first post here and I am coming off as a kook)
I see the groups who are following Ron Paul and I am beginning to understand their motives even though I do not agree with them. Nothing attracts the fringe like a candidate who offers something close to anarchistic freedom.
Frankly I am sick of being told what to do. I like smoking, french fries, beer, fireworks, right-wing radio, guns, muscle-cars, porno, and waterfront property.
I did a strictly factual/mathematical tally of who wishes to protect my rights to those things and only one candidate comes close.... and don't think I have my reservations... but hey. The base of Paul's campaign is rooted in the same exact things that our founders and military have fought for. Yes, it is true that some kooks are aligning with him but isn't that true of our whole country? Is not the USA a place where even kooks have a place? (As long as we keep an eye on them).
All in all, I wish to be fought on my current stance and I look forward to any decent arguments other than the same old "But the 9/11 truthers like him!" because the fact is that everyone has to vote for someone and just because the pathetic "truthers" vote for him is no reason for me to discard Ron Paul as anything other than a person who sticks closely to the Constitution of the United States of America, which is about the only thing in this world that has never let me down.
More to come from me. thanks for listening :)
