Tynan,
The naysayers don't understand Paul's positions. I bet they have not watch a proper interview between, say, C-Span or PBS and Ron Paul. You can tell from their comments. (The C-span and PBS interviews were particularly good. The FOX interviews are really awful. If FOX (Hannity and Limbaugh) hates you must be doing something right.) Had they done they would know that he has no desire to scrap Medicaid as one person suggested. Your summary of Ron Paul is spot on. We admire the man for his integrity, his consistency and his humility. He is the real thing. He cares about us. He is not your average political hack who tells you something and then says, "read my lips." He doesn't take money from corporations. He doesn't even take money for himself. He declined his Congressional pension. He has never taken a political junket. Lobbyist don't bother to knock on his door. We've never had a candidate like this. It is true that a President cannot do much on his own without the help of Congress, but as Paul pointed out in an interview yesterday, when the nation speaks, as it does in a presidential election, the folk in DC get the message. Thanks again. Ron Paul rocks!
