Ya know, ....eff Ron Paul. I had some respect for him years ago, but you have to know when to fold em. His stance on foreign policy is a joke and no one would vote for him. If the Paul bots decide to stay home or write him in, we could have another 4 years of Obama. I guess that would show us.

I supported Gingrich and he gave it a shot and lost. Romney is the man and I will support him fully. In a democratic republic, that's the way it works. Anyone crazy enough to allow Iran to nuke up is too crazy to even be in Congress.

Where do you live? You can't live in America as America is a Constitutional Republic, not a democratic republic.

America is a Constitutional Republic with democratic elements, not democratic principles.
Majority rule is the foremost principle of a democracy whereas the foremost principle in republicanism, IMO, is protecting the rights of the people.

If America were a democracy your rights could be taken away at whim by a majority vote of the populace.

A democracy, of any kind, is the very thing the Founding Fathers didn't establish.

Paul was always a scam, followers, fame and fortune, for a small time career politician, that would never escape the confines of his safe congressional seat.
