What other candidate has a parade?

Notice the pimped out Ron Paul ride. Gotta love it.

Too bad he wasn't a former geriatrics physician. He'd totally win Florida with the elderly vote if he could tell some personal stories. Actually, since older people vote in great numbers, he'd probably do better around the country with that on his resume.

Maybe hope for FL yet. South FL represents the epitome of Class division in many ways so good to see.

Ironically, many "older" people think he is too old and they are a bit set in their ways. So not sure I would count on that group. Hard to know the real numbers though.

He is skipping FL according to some, so I guess Paul does not love Florida

Ron Paul is smart enough to realize that wasting ten million dollars on a campaign in an media expensive state like Florida won't win the election. Good thing the people of Florida still love him and will spread the word themselves.

The man is 77....everything he says is a personal story about geriatrics. One prez with Alzheimer's was enough; we don't need to make it a habit.

Ron Paul has Alzheimer's?
Please cite.
Love to see tolerant liberals practice age discrimination.

More likely it's another big government poster afraid that a Ron Paul presidency will take their candy ($$$) away

Read much? The post says, "One president with Alzheimer's WAS enough,"
clearly referencing Reagan. It isn't so much age discrimination as it is common sense. And this poster is hardly needing candy from the government; both of us are doing well in our professions. But extra points for making assumptions.

Ronald Reagan: His letter about Alzheimer disease
What a slippery retort.
Your comment suggests Ron Paul has Alzheimers and if that's not what you meant you need to take a writing class.
And if the comment was made on an assumption absent of fact, it is discriminatory
