I told him right away I'm for Ron Paul but engaged him in a little politics anyway.
I told him that the other candidates ignored the "core" problems in the country such as war-mongering foreign policy and the monetary system/economics and that Romney was no different. He said "yeah some people don't agree with the war but most agree we should stay there until we can clean it up".
I said "oh, even if we ignore the Iraq war, [he interrupts and says "right, which war"] why don't we pull out of some of the other countries we're needlessly in.."
Then he goes "you have a point there".
He tried to add family values into the discussion , which I am all for but it's side-tracking again, not a core problem!
I left with saying that if Romney was better on foreign policy and with economics then he might have had my vote.
I also did ask him if he's gotten anyone else that said they supported Ron Paul, he said no, but I question if he'd tell me even if he did. :)
..anyways just an update, and a Ron Paul supporter beat Romney's guy to my door by a day so they might be going off the same GOP list.
