RP is the first candidate to mention the Constitution, I’ll give him that.

Yeh but he was dead wrong about it.

[FlashBack]

Fred may have started off slow but is kicking it into gear!

give the DUmmies time, they'll bash soon enough..They are Stalinists at heart.

I wish everyone would learn that.

CNBC is generally the slightly more conservative/pro-business wing of the NBC family. That, and Matthews is well aware that things will get ugly if he appears too partisan.

I am thinking Romney/Hunter 08...

^^^^^

My favorite ticket as well.

Everytime Paul comments on September 11th, he joins the Moonbats, the conspiracy-wackos and the friendly folks at BendOver.org.

SAme here we will miss you on the radio!

Ron Paul is a clown. He’s practically foaming at the mouth. He makes Mike Gravel look normal.

It is a pop culture, cultish type of worship. In 1980 it was the Rubics Cube, in 1990, it was Bart Simpson’s Eat My Shorts t-Shirt, in 2000 it was the Backstreet Boys, now it is Ron Paul.

He said “Son” but it’s okay...everyone knows what he meant..

[pillut48]

Thank you so much!!!!!

I just don’t get Thompson’s appearance and presentation, although I like most of his positions. If he would go into an “acting” mode and act a presidential candidate’s role, although that’s probably terrible to say, he might come off a lot better. And what’s with the total absence of cosmetics for his first real national exposure?

[SE Mom]

He may be correct- but it was still the wrong answer for a debate- without context..

I cannot grasp Ron Paul’s appeal..principles aside for a moment- the man is unhinged.
