Why Ron Paul is better?

My classmate - Steven Tran - wrote strong emotional article "We are doomed :(" about two candidates in last Vote 2008: Mr. Barack Obama and Mr. John McCain. He criticized that both of them are puppets, clowns, and evils. He also commentated President Bush is terrible. One thing makes me surprised when he voted for Mr. Ron Paul who is also old like McCain and lost in early primary vote.

I feel interested when I read his comment because his opinion is strong, bold and certain. I had the same confusion for two candidates. However, he didn't give us strong evidents why he thought both candidates are bad and why Mr. Ron Paul is better? that makes his critic less convincible.

I also disagree with him about ideas"we are forced to pick the lesser of the two evils" or "we are forced to live in a country where the majority of voters (a.k.a. majority of the nation's citizens) make uninformed decisions...". Majority of voters vote for Obama because they think he can make more profit than the other. We can vote for any candidate we like, no one can forced us except ourselves.
