..but also looking at this, why wouldn't the party and the media get behind Paul, instead of acting like he doesn't exist?"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Right, because so many people are thrilled right now with the direction things are going overseas. At this point who either hasn't served, doesn't know someone deployed, or doesn't know someone who has been killed/injured from the middle east right now? Not many I would guess.

Seriously.
It doesn't get brought up enough IMO by the campaign, but how could someone explain the financial support by our own military? Let me guess. The military are all just a bunch of HS dropouts who want to smoke marijuana and don't really understand what goes on around the world like people from Fox news such as Hannity or Levin. More people than ever right now are staring to realize that we are sticking our hands out there to get cut off trying to police the planet.

I've said it before and I'll say it again and not because I disagree with the policy.
I'll take four years of Ron Paul's foreign policy vs. four years of the remaining candidate's domestic policy. Our own government is on the path to do us in before the Canadian's come storming through our northern border with bayonets.

What does it matter what his policy is if he gets 3% of his targeted vote?"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin
