You are so far off base here I think you are actually on a football field...you might want to talk to some more Libertarians.

We have a bigger problem with "easy drugs", when you consider the pill merchants, doctors who continue to write prescriptions for oxycodone and hydrocodone.
These drugs are endorsed by the government and more people are dying from them, than from pot. The laxity on the part of our government to diligently monitor
the dispensing of these controlled substances has created an even bigger problem than marijuana, out here on Long Island, those deaths attributed to oxy and
hydro (and I don't mean hydroponic), has eclipsed the number of heroin deaths, including those four tragic deaths out in Medford, innocents who died at the hand
of some crazed addict, a pill abuser who had already been given prescriptions for over 11,000 pills, over a four year span.

Ron Paul is all about cleaning up government, a growing mass of legislators who seem to be running America into the ground. Ron wants to loosen the federal
government's grip on pot, because our political leaders have gone crazy with their drug war, school children are dying in the crossfires of drug dealers who move a
natural substance through underground networks, because of the profit in providing pot to the people, and pot is a common weed that has great monetary value,
ONLY because our leaders have put that profit in place, through their campaign to keep it from the people. I'd also imagine that if our enlightened body of legislators
could understand, that by utilizing all of the capital and resources that are dumped into this failed and foolish drug war, we'd have all of the funding necessary to pay
for the medicaid, welfare and every other social program that serves us 99 percenters, as well as our government serves that pampered mob, up there on Capitol Hill.

Are you so deep into the forest that you cannot see the trees?

You know...you may have broken the code. The paul zealots (I don't think emilybh on here is all that BAD, nor pollyrobin) are very pushy, rude, and actually...a lil kooky. Not well rounded...in a rational, stable sort of way.

Yeah, mal...you might know somethin....

Or Squidbillies? That show proves that well adjusted children can and DO come from single parent homes and especially if the extended family is involved to help nuture the child (Rusty).

As for the OP...most Paul fans seem to be just like everyone else....Cheering for their team.

Actually it doesnt have to do with ron paul at all, it literally just pertains to your online persona.

I've never really saw the Paul crowd as much that way as I have the average Palin/neoCON/Tb'er type cheerleaders...I don't think Paul has a snowballs chance in hell of getting elected POTUS ever and if he DID by some weird miracle get elected,he would never get any of his ideas passed anyway...kind of a moot point discussing really if you think about it.
