Ron Paul Has Better Chance This Time Around

In an effort to tap the tea party voter base, Ron Paul announced Tuesday that he will be forming a presidential exploratory committee, offering up a second chance at the Republican presidential bid.
Congressman Paul formed a sort of "cult" following during the 2008 election, raising more than $35 million but falling short of wooing any caucasus or primaries.
But Paul claims the country has changed since 2008, with "literally millions of more people now concerned about things I talked about four years ago." This may be true, and so far Paul's views on high government spending and the Federal Reserve's irresponsible rate changes are, arguably, more critical than any other Republican candidate.
Maybe things will be different for Paul this time around. After all, his ideology follows the tea party initiative to a T, and back in 2008, this grassroots movement had yet to sprout.

What, you joined FReeREpublic today just to denigrate me? HA! I won’t even say welcome. Take your 77 year old wimp of a Truther and shove it, Paulbot. Your time around here will be short. But I’m betting on you being a truther retread.

K5kor posted last night
praising Obama on his getting osama.
He sounded extremely trollish in his caracaturish posting style and then posted a thread saying to
"bomb pakistan now!" Thread got pulled after 8 replies.

"Theres still k5kor."
Who dat?
I just checked its posts.
Apparently, there's an Obazombie among us.
It is thanking and prasing Bambi for bin Laden's demise.
No praise for Bush or Petraeus, but lots for Obie.

I dunno about you, but these folks that claim to have gotten divine inspiration from having mind-melded with Ron Paul’s pecker give me the creeps.

No praise for Bush or Petraeus, but lots for Obie. You have to go to Aljazzer to hear Bush and Petraus mentioned....go figure! They reported Bushes statements and various other venues about Bush which were favorable .
