<human>: I'm seventeen, but I will be able to vote in the upcoming election. Although I try to listen to both sides of political arguments, I often agree with liberal points of view. My idea is that since I am essentially a liberal, I often agree with Democrats and have a strong angst towards Republicans, so perhaps I should register as a Republican in order to vote in Republican primaries and pick a conservative candidate who I agree with the most. For this election, I would most likely be voting for Ron Paul, thus trying to aid in keeping people like Gingrich and Perry (who I strongly dislike) from getting into office. Any thoughts or comments on this? Considering that I am seventeen I only know what a semester of high school government has taught me, so I can be a little naive.

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
