Thanks

May I remind you that some in here were trying to push Rick Santorum out ofter the SC primary where he came in third place. He won the Iowa Caucus. What primary has Paul won? No it’s time for him to drop out

[Kaslin]

You’re welcome

Half of Ron Paul supporters if not more, are libs crossing over to fart with our primary in the first place.

If U.S. foreign policy results in massive death and destruction abroad, we cannot feign innocence when some of that destruction is returned. -Ron Paul or Ward Churchhill?

Voting for Paul in Florida even though it’s a wasted vote in some respects.

I’d like to see the GOP get back to being the party of Liberty, we seem to pro-corporate as opposed to pro-market, but nevertheless I’ll vote for whoever we trot out in November. I just won’t do any work for him or donate anything someone else can do that.

I would like to see Paul stay in this thing long enough to muck things up and grease the skids for Rand who appears to go down more smoothly with less of a bitter aftertaste.

My ideal candidate:
- kill crony capitalism
- legalize weed (No I don’t smoke)
- allow businesses to die (nothing to big to fail)

At the end although I think going more libertarian is better for the country my pocketbook and fat salary would benefit by voting for the lesser socialists. The lesser socialists might at least cut my taxes.

"And it's not over for RuPaul, he wasn't in it to win it, he's in it to bamboozle more money for his campaign coffers that he can use later in life."

Spot on!

Actually, though I consider Ron Paul dangerous on the whole, there is one primary that I now hope, really hope, that he wins: Virginia.

The way the establishment Republicans forced that to be a two-way race in that state between Romney and Paul demands a change. If I were a resident of VA, I would campaign very hard for RonP hoping that he actually wins it for the sake of sending a message to the national GOP.
