Yep, sure is, fear just drives me to Ron Paul. Fear that my country is being sold down the river by a two-headed snake, you bet. So, who should I fear more, my Creator or that major evil squatting in the White House, the result of the "lesser of two evils" approach to voting for the last forty years. Should I fear my countrymen, who think herding into the Republican pen under the banner of "anybody but Obama" is going to save them? Oh, yes, do fear. Please. But tell me who you fear more? Me? And by the way, fear isn't new anymore than fear-mongering is, both parties are quite adept at it. And at branding people with it, even while doing it themselves. Where have I heard of that tactic before? Can't quite put my finger on it...

It would be nice if you understood how earmarks work, Alice. If Paul doesn't get the money for his own constituents it will be spent by people like Obama. I'm sure that's what you would want him to do, leave that money to Obama, if he represented your district.

If I am passionate, I am branded as a loon. Well, so be it. I am passionate about my Creator, my country, its Constitution and its People. And now I have to run off so that my taxes will support the sheep of both parties. I return you now to your pens. Have a great day. Sorry if I disrupted the herd.

No, jimmylynn, this is no tantrum or I'd be speaking in all caps. I'm just tired of being bashed, and having the candidate I support bashed, because both left and right fear the "angry old man" and his stern discipline of Constitution. I am sick and tired of know-it-alls, columnists and readers alike, who would so easily sell their country and its Constitution down the river, or bash their fellow Americans mainly out of fear of what a little discipline might do for this country. I'm sick of lies, of class warfare, or warfare designed to discredit the truth, and especially sick of warfare designed to shut people up, which is what all the Ron Paul is a loon BS is about. Maybe you all get the leadership you deserve. God judge between us

Yeah, charisma should be pre-requisite to leadership. I wonder why Charisma isn't included in the Constitution. Oh, brother. You sheep really are sold easily, aren't you, Robert? Baa, baa, baa on everything American.

Will you please display your "intelligence" and quit saying Paul wants to legalize drugs? He wants to return that power to the Several States. Nowhere in the Constitution is any branch given the right to legislate drugs. That Power belongs to the Several States. Read the damn Constitution once. Unlike most of Congress's legislation, it's only 17 pages long.

Excuse me, but sheep always feel that someone who spent the time and did the research and actually talks about it is insulting their intelligence. Not my fault I got here ahead of your Republican pack. At least I had the decency to warn you.

jimmylynn, Please show me the alternate to Paul in this race. Where is the honest candidate that will ensure the country moves back to the Constitution? I know Newt from experiencing his destructive ways in the 90s. I've seen Romney flip-flop with each wet finger to the political winds. I watched Bachman walked AWAY from the Constitution during the Patriot Act vote--her excuses were admirable, a real example of a person sold a bill of goods. So, who's left? Santorum? Sorry, not ready for prime time. Huntsman? Yeah, I want a guy who worked in the Obama administration. Oh, yeah, that'll solve all our ills, huh? What's your alternative?

I guess you missed the part where I said--Ron Paul would split the votes of both establishment pens of sheep AND WIN. I understand mathematics better than you think. I also talk to my countrymen. Please explain the report that more People than ever in history are leaving both parties to become INDEPENDENTS. Must be in the DNA, huh? Or maybe the People are waking up to the fact that both parties are two heads of the same snake.

But, look, jimmylynn, they are advocating doing away with the Constitution--but they don't know that. They repeat crap endlessly, like Paul's for legalizing drugs. No, he's not. He's for the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, that all powers not specifically enumerated to the Feds belong to the Several States and the People. Explain that. The answer is: Fear. They fear what they don't understand and they can't be bothered to go find out because it's too easy to bash and too hard to think free. And that's why they're sheep.
