You're wasting your time chasing politicians so you can feel good by telling yourself you are doing something about abortion, just like a liberal bleeding heart. Get out on the streets and work with poor women who fuel the abortion industry and work to promote adoption alternatives. I have done that for years. Your lexicon here is nothing but angry, ignorant claptrap.

So get your thumbs out of your butt and do something useful for a change.

Well, I can't disagree with you. It has gotten exceedingly less pleasant around here. It is not as enjoyable as it used to be.

On a happier note, I must say, that is a very cool ad! I like many of Ron Paul positions, except his foreign policy ones, which are a non-starter for me.

Well "Veto any legislation restricting right to choose" is a little more than toning it down, and this article by Browne seems apathetic at best. What would keep me from being a member, though, is that the LP platform is pro-abortion, if you look at their "Reproductive Rights" (hmm, who uses that term again?) plank.

So will you be switching over to Republican for Paul in the primaries? Even if I identified with a third party (I used to like the Constitution Party until it abandoned its principles in the name of "big tent"-ism), I would still stay registered Republican for the primaries.

It is. Sometimes, I think Ron Paul could take the rest of the year off without any problems. Our grassroots would just keep going and growing. We haven't yet produced and run our own TV ads but we're doing parades, writing/running/paying radio ads, producing/paying billboards, started our own Internet radio station, most every event is YouTubed in 4 hours or less. It's an amazing thing to me and I've seen a lot of campaigns. But nothing like this bunch.

It astonishes everyone. No one else has a grassroots quite like this. Even Howard Dean didn't because he had to use the Soros money ($40 million) to keep them in pizza and soda and motels. We pay for it all ourselves.

About that ad: all those pictured were contributors to paying for the ad itself. It's kind of interesting, a direct appeal, voter-to-voter kind of thing. Like I said, no one else has supporters like this.
