I think is is interesting to note that the progressives refer to Paul supporters as their, the progressives, 'useful idiots'!![;)]
It would be interesting if true.
Progressive talk radio focuses much more upon the idiocy of Romney, Santorum and Gingrich; and abject ignorance of their supporters. Even progressives get it right once in a while.
Freedom and a submissive populace cannot co-exist.
Most of the people I know who have expressed dislike or distrust of Congressman Paul's message,when pressed to define why, demonstrate a fundamental misunderstanding of what his message really is. Usually they are not able to progress past the most often misinterpreted sound bites, such as Jim's insistence that Paul doesn't believe he can win or mixing terms like isolationism for non-intervention in displays of willful ignorance. The good news is that it is very hard to maintain unfounded and flawed opinions in the face of consistent verifiable proof to the contrary. Slowly people seem to be catching on.

But not quick enough. The media will not let that happen. [:(!]
To be fair to the media people I believe carrying water for the establishment is part of their mission statement these days.[:(!][V]
Look paulers, herres the thing. Paul was dead in the water before he even got started. There is no way he could ever get elected. And if he somehow did, there would be little he could to get rid of all the things he wants to get of. The least of reasons is that all these other un-constitutional programs employ millions of people. Given our economy now, it would be a disaster. Talk about the great depression. Nobody would even know what that was after the great closing of all of those Governmental Departments.

Not a big shock, sadly. If you pressed them most couldn't tell you anything about any of the candidates other than what party they're in and what the media feeds them.

Do you believe he will null and void all gun laws. His stock answer to similar questions is to let each state decide. Would that mean that "assault style weapons" would still be illegal in California? What do you think?
Paul thinks that the power to decide should be in the hands of the state and the people.this is the true Constitutional way.

Just like the plague, CJ, just like the plague.
Wonder why?
