I don’t care why he’s running. I just wish his supporters would stop spamming my Freepmail with his garbage!

Your entire post was just silly. Is Paul wrong on some things, yes, he is. Does that make a vote for him a vote for Al Qauda, uh...no. Paul is no racist, he isn’t against our troops, etc. etc.
It’s fine if you don’t approve of Paul, but it would be nice if you would keep your gripes about him within the realm of reality.

Maybe Paul wants to campaign against foreign aid because no one else will.

If he doesn’t run, he has a n=0% chance at the nomination. If he runs, he has a n>0% chance. That simple.

Your post is garbage, Ron Paul is my Congressman and he is none of those things. I know you support Sara and I like her too, but lying about Ron Paul only makes you look stupid.

LOL.
If there is a parallel, it's not Ross.
More like Ralph Nader.........cept ole RP won't even crack 1% if he runs in a third party.

If you hate this conservative site so much, why don’t you go stay at DU. You would be more at home there anyway.
