Just fun seeing someone who's so "fiscally conservative" waste so much money on something that's totally not going to happen.

That's a pretty defeatist attitude to have. If you don't run, you'll never get the message across. That's the reason why he is running even he knows he has no chance of winning. People like you are the reason why there is no 3rd party in this country

You beat me to this recommendation! Its an easy read and gives a great summary of Paul's stand on "50 essential issues that affect our freedom," e.g., economics, marriage, abortion, unions, global warming, foreign aid, trade policies.

I wish I could send everyone in the country a copy of this book. I imagine there are many voters out there on both sides of the table who would be surprised to find out how much Paul reflects their thinking.

I greatly admire Ron Paul and would love to see him as President. He is not electable, however, because he doesn't do television well. That's the reality of political campaigns today.

The only negative is I will have to register as a republican for the primary. Utah is not an open primary state, I am glad it is not but it has been years since I have been in a party.

No KIDDING. TSA is sticking their hands down 6 year olds' pants now... when TSA's own rules were nobody under 14 got a genital groping.
Janet Napolitano defends the breaking of the rules saying the exams are "professional". Even the 6 year old's mother said that they didn't even change gloves between passengers. Gross!

We know the TSA body scanning and groping would become a thing of the past if Ron Paul was president. Wouldn't it be nice to GET RID of the PATRIOT act which he'd also do for sure?
