George, (Yeah, I know I'm breaking my Opus here temporarily) it's like talking to a brick wall. You click on the Paul threads and you see the same garbage posted. Paul's a kook, Paul's in bed with Al-Quaida, Paul's a lunatic, etc. It's obvious that FReepers don't care about limiting government, reforming the tax system, or ending Roe vs. Wade. Nah, they want to beat their chest and cheerlead the feckless administration about the billions of dollars wasted spent on trying to eradicate every single last terrorist in the world.
It doesn't matter what they think. Paul has his supporters, he has strong grassroot support, and they're going to turn the primaries upside down. The laughs, feces, and giggles at Paul are going to turn into desperation, panic, and shrill name-calling as Paul matches whoever is the GOP front-runner step-for-step in both donations and primary victories. If the GOP and their bootlicking supporters doesn't pay Paul the tribute he deserves, the GOP nominee will simply not win the independents and swing voters crucial to the election, and that's a fact.
I knew my #312 could bring you out of that cloistered tower! You succumbed to its sheer numerical crunchiness.
Admit it: you have a calculator on your desk. Maybe even one that has more than a nine-digit display!! LOL.
