I voted for Badnarik in 2004. He essentially said all the same things that Ron Paul said in 2008, but had no traction because Iraq was not considered a quagmire yet.
In 2008, Paul got attention because he was the only person saying the obvious (when it comes to war, no one supports his views on Civil Rights) in a room of 10 people during a debate. However, in 2004 he would not be viewed as right (though he would have been.)
Iraq was considered a quagmire and another Vietnam to a lot of people on the left from the start. I guess that it took a while to become a more widely accepted view.
