Seeing Ron Paul right now makes me think of this:

Why do you think Romney mentioned that bit about expanding the military?
This is the part that worries me most. If Republicans control the house, senate, and presidency Romney won't go against his own party in congress. Even if they just keep the house and Romney wins the presidency I think he'd buck to pressure from the right on all major issues even if he is a moderate at heart.
His campaign is his message. He wants to spread it. The jumped from 2008 to 2012 proved he made a lot of progress. He'll stay in the race because he thinks there is still room to grow.

Ron Paul spouting his meaningless pap about liberty again.
and the current administration (and the previous administration) have been scaring the shit out of me since the PATRIOT Act.

LOL I think Ron Paul and all his supporters know that they will never win but they're just trying to savor the moment while they can. Like Roy Batty at the end of Blade Runner trying to savor his remaining moments of life before he dies in front of Deckard.

screw liberty and freedom, thats not what america is about
Hardcore conservatives somehow have convinced themselves that government is like the anti-christ and if we have no government the poor are going to be magically helped out with the charity that people like Romney give them.............o wait........

And now the country can go back to being oblivious to the existence of the state of New Hampshire.
Don't worry, with the NDA they will eventually repeal the Patriot Act because they don't need it and then act like they are doing us a favor.
Maybe he meant corporate freedom and liberty.
Yes he did and the same people that brought us 8 years of bush and thought mccain palin was a good idea are now trying to give us a romney or santorum
Personally I'm waiting eagerly for GAF's reaction when Obama "reluctantly" signs SOPA/PIPA into law.
If the constitution and free markets and liberty and all that were so great and such an awesome foundation for America then why did the founding fathers and the country have slaves? Why did it take so long until women were allowed to vote? Some great liberty for everyone that was...
Guess what, it takes more than just the constitution to protect us. To strip out all government and long for the vision of the founding fathers is to spit in the face of every woman and every African American in America.
Almost time for Huntsman's deep nose breathing.
Certainly they will rationalize it for their love of him.

I would think Ron Paul would resonate more if we still had a draft. Would be interesting to see.

Pretty sound principles (of course he hasn't really been scrutinized, but whatever) but comes off like a weasel.

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
You may want to read up on the drafts of the Declaration (all but the final one included a condemnation of slavery). The Founding Fathers' aim was to get the Constitution (and Declaration) passed. To do that, they had to go through the people. It was a process intended to give freedom to everyone, but that freedom wouldn't come fully instantly with the passage of the Constitution - the Constitution was the basis of freedom for their new nation and started the process of it.

President Paul is trending worldwide on twitter
More of the short sighted (and frankly ignorant) view that "Well if it doesn't affect ME..."
not even 50% yet on the google page.
It's more a comment on your constant use of hyperbole, obviously this has deeply affe

Isn't it nice to support a fringe crank with no shot in hell at being elected? It means you'll never be disappointed!

A lot of these comments make me laugh and think about 4 years ago when everyone said that would be Ron Paul's peak because of his age/craziness/some other reason.
So you think when someone says
that it is hyperbolic to respond with:
? Really? Are you sure you know what hyperbole means? I mean, you can disagree with my sentiment, but I think it's not exactly an uncommon view that the PATRIOT Act, and the whole additional "homeland security" infrastructure that has sprung up since 9/11 (the TSA for example) is disturbing.
Changing the subject rather than defend Obama if and when he signs SOPA into law? Yeah, that sounds about right.
So you're admitting you'd rather see the country suffer than chance another Democratic president?

I hope the country gets better, but there is also a part of me that doesn't agree with this administration as much as I would with someone like Huntsman in power.

Fair enough. It was rather bad form for me not to defend him for something he hasn't done.
