I’m not buying that excuse. He still has his personal info up there — name, location, age, school etc. The only thing he’s changed is his political history — and the embarrassing plan to troll for votes at Moveon.org. His bio used to say he voted for Kerry, then jumped around from libertarian, to democrat, etc. Now, suddenly, he changes it is all aboard for Ron Paul!

Nevertheless, the screencaps are still available on this thread via my Photobucket account. And you're free to point those things out. This thread, now no longer in Breaking News, has attracted the vast majority of viewers that can be expected here on a late August "news" thread.

Look, a lot of people flop around a bit between parties and causes when they get into politics. We have a lot of former Libertarians here, many many former liberal Democrats, etc. I can just imagine the kinds of political opinions a "soccermom" might have held when she was 21 like Karsten is. And yet, he does articulate a good small-government, liberty, sound-economy agenda. He is, in fact, delightfully typical of our younger RP supporters, excited by a message that we once heard from Ronald Reagan and Newt Gingrich and from the great Austrian economists.

Certainly, we have Libertarians and Dims in our midst as a minority among RP supporters along with many single-issue voters of so many different kinds I could never describe them all. But our message is a classic conservative Republican message of liberty and small-government. Exactly as Kirsten and his Meetup comrade, theoreticalgirl, have shown in their posts here.
