I agree. And I like him more than I liked his dad.

His dad is the most honest politician in my lifetime. It's too bad American voters want free stuff, lower taxes, more government services, all the while needing to be reminded twice a day how great they are, as if they were petulant children.

Paul is the kind of guy who gets beat up by his neighbor.

But, since he can't win, I'm gonna stick by the complete opposite end of the spectrum and shite on anyone else who might be trying to do a little bit of what he stands for.

I saw his wife do an interview for the first time.

She is very attractive (sorry if politically incorrect)
but very well versed and obviously more intelligent than 90% of Congress.

More conservative and libertarian women need to speak out.

They are the strength and backbone of our country.


Somebody needs to start a thread about this.

Too much for me to digest, but I’m pretty much on the same page.

I have to think most Americans think this way.

You should have seen the 2,000 lines of info from "On the Issues" that I had to read to sum it up.

My TL;DR needs a TL'DR.
