I never stated nor do I consider myself an expert. You need to cut back on the koolaid.

Ron Paul's campaign has an interesting strategy of flooding the internet. Seriously, it isn't a bad one.

You should take your own advice, girl. You're the one that started with an attitude, don't be surprised when you get one in return.

Obviously you are not in tune with his message. No matter what the issue, the message is about liberty, individuals having their own choice.


He's not forcing them to pay a 100, they can choose to come or not. What your trying to say his message is, is that of "O" , who thinks health care and everything else should be free.


If you can't even understand the philosophy of liberty, you probably should join the democrat party.

That's not his strategy, it's his supporters passion for the message of liberty to be heard.



The internet is the freest place in the US. That is why his message is spoken the loudest on the internet, and very rarely shown on crony corporate MSM tv.



A vote for O or Mitt or Newt, is ultimately a vote to ruin the freest place in the US. They will pass the SOPA or something very similar in an unrelated MUST PASS bill like they always do to anti-freedom bills that wouldn't pass on their own.

I'm an Independent and will stay that way but thanks for the unsolicited advice.

That's not even the big story tonight. The big story is how in the world another Big Government slightly republican candidate got 40% of the vote in a supposed conservative state.



Newt is probably the only candidate I've heard that would actually create more bureaucracy. He seems to think that bureaucracy's work better than individual choices. He's showed it at multiple debates with his ideas to have like "boards" or what not of people that can decide if some illegals can get amnesty or not.

He also talks about having GOV'T programs for the unemployed, where they have to train the unemployed and watch them closely, etc... That will create way more gov't jobs.




He will add more gov't jobs, more bureaucracy. He is a career bureaucrat.
