Sorry, Ron, Rand, whatever. Ron Paul finally gets a mainline candidate for President who wants to audit the FED and he won’t support him. What is the world coming to?
Well.....bye.

Rand, not Ron.
Come back when you’re....
...refreshed. :D

still playing with little boys are ya. Paul followers are a disgusting lot.

No, he's certifiable.
The Bushes,Clintons and now the Pauls. Family run political dynasties. Bushes and Pauls creamed one more to go. And we were supposed to support his son? Self righteous loser.
“weight in” as in the colloquial, my friend.
Like, a boxer’s “weight in” makes it official that he’ll show up and be accounted for..
Or something, does sound and look awkward I admit — been out of the mainstream past few, writing can be tricky when you get out of practice!
LOL. I was just kidding with the whole grammar nazi thing. Just ribbing y’all.
Always good to hear from certified nut job Ron Paul
Where are you ... at?
lolololol :)
The rest of us would call that a "majority".
Found my easy chair. Makes me more sublime. I’m good now.
Awesome!!!!
All in good fun!
Grammar needs a bit of the ol’ Law and Order, too!
He only supports himself or Rand
THe phrase is “weigh in.”
