I don’t give a hoot about the origins...they can call themselves a bowel movement for all I care. I just said liberals and Ron Paul supporters “use it”, usually with venom dripping from their fangs. So anyone that uses that term in an article, especially in conjunction with praising of Ron Paul is not on my favorite reading list.
Forget the "Neocons," who may indeed fade away. Why don't you like Ron Paul? He is one of the few men in Washington, who is able to rationally defend where he stands on issues. You have not really seen him yet at best advantage, because the 60 and 30 second sound bites allowed in these "debates," really do not give anyone enough time to really develop a line of thought. I would really urge you to give him serious consideration.
