    SUPRISED?

    Yeah I read about that... One quote in particular stood out from a woman that attended " I really feel so guilty for not supporting Giuliani but you know...duh....drool...." as she chomped on her plate of free BBQ chicken potato chips and baked beans...

    Here we go again...America the hopelessly retarded voting for whomever looks better purely at face value...meaning above the shoulders at face value.

    Too bad extremely few in America are using what's above their shoulders...

    god help us all...it's a freaking epidemic of hopelessness

    So naturally you'd be opposed to the federal government wasting taxpayer dollars on bridges and roads. The normal Republican view would be that that is a state issue.
    How do you figure that interstate highways are a state issue?

    Sheesh, even the most conservative people that want to wipe out virtually all of the federal government will say that maintaining the infrastructure is a legitimate role, along with providing for our national defense.

    for all his alleged "support", Ron Paul performed pretty poorly. Sure, he got a whopping 9%, but that's because 2 of the top 3 candidates didn't even officially participate in the straw poll to begin with. He was beaten out by both Tom Tancredo (who's a one trick pony: Immigration) and Sam Brownback (who is a member of fucking Opus Dei), who are even greater niche candidates than Paul.

    Face it, chumps, Ron Paul's support is reaching the level of mythical.

    this is exactly why Ron Paul is a fringe candidate even to most diehard GOPers. We may not like paying taxes, but we recognize their importance for basic government functions.

    The interstate commerce clause does not apply to interstate highways. Therefore, they are unconstitutional.

    calling an inanimate object "unconstitutional" is just plain stupid.

    "While Interstate Highways usually receive substantial federal funding and comply with federal standards, they are owned, built, and operated by the states in which they are located. The only exception is the federally-owned Woodrow Wilson Bridge on the Capital Beltway (I-95/I-495)."

    The power to tax is the power to destroy. And also the power to spend taxes. Those highways are unconstitutional.

    Were you hit in the head with a shovel at some point in time, because I'm trying to find some coherency in that statement, but, you know... it just ain't there.

    right now, I'd support Obama, but he needs the foreign policy experience of bill richardson to back him up.

    thanks. i've liked ron paul for a while now because i'm a fan of small government. however, i just don't think he has a great chance to win and i don't want to throw away my vote. i've started doing some research on bill richardson and i like him so far too. i just have troube voting for a democratic candidate because i don't support big government and big social programs. i really like richardson's foreign policy experience though. ron paul might be lacking in foreign policy experience.

    Actually, Giuliani had more events held in Iowa than Ron Paul. Paul didn't spend nearly the amount of money that Romney and the other guys did. So considering that Ron Paul put up respectable numbers without spending alot of money, that is pretty good. Wait until the primaries to see if he truly has the support.
