I don’t know if the mainstream media has covered it, but just in case you hadn’t heard, Herman Cain has dropped out of the race for president. Have the networks and newspapers picked up on that?
Anyway, I had thrown my support behind Cain some time back. I was at his campaign kickoff in Atlanta back in May. And, while I didn’t like the “bad boy” stuff that came up recently, politically, he was one of the candidates who was most like me politically.
Now, I have to find another candidate. And a new sticker for my car.
I think I have my new candidate picked out. But, I expect an onslaught of RONPAUL!!!1!!! supporters, telling me how AWESOEM!!!1! he is. Because that’s what they do.
Some of them sit in their parents’ basements — sort of like the Occupy crowd, except, some of the Paulnuts actually do have jobs, so, they’re a step above the Occupiers. Anyway, they’ll be trolling the internets, looking for Websites that mention the Good Doctor, and bombard it with comments.
They also look for Websites that talk about other things, and bombard them with comments, too. Like articles about buying baby cribs or sprucing up your Christmas tree. Seriously, you can find RONPAUL!!!1!!! comments all over the place and way off topic. Plus, they can’t spell worth a darn. And they capitalize all the wrong words.
They have dropped off recently, but with a bunch of aimless Herman Cain supporters out there, look for them to take up the task of proselytizing for the Church of Ron Paul.
Seriously, what does his supporters have to do with the candidate himself? Pick a topic and a Ron Paul position your opposed to, and explain why.
Israel
r0n pAuL!!1!
You know, there are times when I think, “Compared to the other candidates, I think I could weather PON RAUL!!!!’s nuttiness better than their liberal-ness.
Then, I see a picture of him earing his pants on his head and I think, “Wasn’t he a bunny? And wasn’t that a pancake before?”
Picking a GOP candidate to support is like shopping at Borders on the last day of their going out of business sale. Everything left is crap.
No Ron Paul supporter is as stupid as Herman Cain: the man who wants abortion to be both illegal and a mother’s choice, and doesn’t understand that these two positions are mutually exclusive. The man is as dumb as a box of rocks. Not to mention that an open container of milk would have lasted longer than Cain’s popularity, before turning sour.

Your post: not much better.
“Anyway, they’ll be trolling the internets, looking for Websites that mention the Good Doctor, and bombard it with comments.”
Websites, plural. It, singular. Incorrect tense. Feeling a little tense that the good Dr. outlasted your favorite warpig, Cain?
“They also look for Websites that talk about other things, and bombard them with comments, too. Like articles about buying baby cribs or sprucing up your Christmas tree. Seriously, you can find RONPAUL!!!1!!! comments all over the place and way off topic. Plus, they can’t spell worth a darn. And they capitalize all the wrong words.”
Why did you capitalize the word “Websites?” Also, your “sentence” beginning with “Like” (you know, totally!!!) isn’t actually a sentence.
You may think your commentary is insightful, but really, it’s inciteful.
Good luck finding your not-Romney when all the other candidates, save Dr. Paul, are nearly indistinguishable from Romney: more war, more monetary expansion/weakening of the dollar/inflation, and more destruction of individual liberty.
See? What’d I tell you?
Man, that was quick.
Well, they’re likely to vote for Obama anyway, so I wouldn’t get too worked up. If by some miracle Ron Paul did win the nomination, he’d be as astonished as John McCain no doubt was when he was deserted by all his friends among the independents and in the media.
Hey, you don’t have to think for yourself: The current loser, Cain, who ironically murdered his own campaign, endorsed the future loser, “Newt.”
Meanwhile, Perry imploded, Romney isn’t electable by the majority of Republicans because of Romneycare (and because he’s a Mormon, which gives Protestants the willies), Bachman has the crazy eye, Santorum is a frothy substance made of anal lube and poop, which leaves the next hopeful flavor of the week, Huntsman, who is nearly indistinguishable from any generic Democrat, mostly because he’s so unlikeable.
There are Ron Paul supporters who are idiots just as there are Obama, Romney, Cain, and Gingrich supporters who are idiots. I kind of relate political fanboys to fans of (fill in the blank) that are so obnoxious it tarnishes the image of the band. For me, its Dave Matthews Band. The band no doubt has great musical talent and prowess, but the DMB nutjobs do their best to make me not want to like the band.
This is the Presidential election however, so as good citizens we shouldn’t dismiss a candidate because of his/her supporters. If you truly support Ron Paul’s policies, then please vote for him and try to look past the less intelligent supporters that have the time to blast comments all over the internet.
If you want the perpetual devaluation of the dollar and the endless foreign wars to end, then there is only one candidate available this election. I’m hesitant to end this comment with a plug due to fear of being typecast as a “Paulnut”, but I will do so anyway. Ron Paul 2012!

Israel

Basil: You left out the “why” part. “Israel” is just a noun, it’s not a sentence. The reason isn’t implicit.
I will list a topic for others to consider, but I won’t debate a RONPAUL!!!1!! supporter because, by definition, a RONPAUL!!1!! supporter is nuts. Never debate a nut.
Holy schnikes that was fast. It’s like his name being typed on the interwebs is a dog whistle only his supporters can hear. And I love that 95% of Adam’s post is spent critiquing your spelling and grammar and 5% spitting RonPaul1!!!!1!!! slogans. Thanks for reinforcing the point of Basil’s post. It makes it even funnier.
Ron Paul is spot on when he talks about our currency, banking, and the economy. He’s done a poor job explaining his foreign policy stance. I almost wonder if he leaves these ambiguities hanging out there to attract the leftwing nut fringe… In his defense, he is only one of two candidates that have military service.
RJC, I saw it on “Google News.”
I spent time criticizing his grammar and capitalization, not his spelling, because that was the level of “critique” Basil leveled at Ron Paul supporters.
In response to a question, what Paul position does he oppose, and why, Basil gave a one-word answer, which is by all measurements an incomplete answer.
That makes Basil a hypocrite, which is probably why he liked Cain, who now supports hypocrite Toad or Newt or whatever his name is.
Of course, I also provided evidence that Cain is a moron, which you chose to ignore.
Spitting Ron Paul slogans?
Have fun cheering on the loss of your liberty via Republican candidates whose positions on liberty, such as the war on (some) drugs, are as bad as those of the Communist Chinese who they purport to oppose:

Professor Adam TEACH US!
Bahahahaha
We will let you do your own homework on each candidate. The absolute soundness of Congressman Paul’s principles and policies just thrills us. Thank God he is taking a stand for America, for us.
RONPAUL!!!1!!!
P.S – Just do yourself a favor and read one or two of his books. 🙂
Mission accomplished, Basil! Your post pulled in the Paul fans like cats to tuna. Salute!
While you’re here guys, be sure to pick up a copy of Frank’s book wherein he lavishes praise upon Ron Paul(!). That’s what I heard anyway.
Got a bit of a masochistic streak, Basil? =)
Also, I think ‘Israel’ pretty much sums up everything that was asked for as far as a disagreement with RP, since I’m pretty sure that literally everything Paul has said about Israel is the exact opposite of the position Basil would take. Although perhaps I’m just speaking for myself.
Seriously though, don’t bother explaining Paul’s foreign policy position to me. I thoroughly understand it, and I do not agree with it. Trying to convince me that he’s right is as much of a waste of time as it is for me to try and convince one of Paul’s supporters that it is unacceptable to let Iran have a nuke even if it means a major military strike. There’s no misunderstanding, we just don’t agree.
So when will the ANTI!!!!PAULLL!!!!! NUTSSZZZSSS!!!??? ARRIVE??!!
It seems they have.
Mission accomplished:
Defend the good Doctor, and the anti-logic, anti-Constitution, phony “Conservatives” are exposed to the light of day. Every time!
Neo-Con Republicans aren’t scared Iran will use a nuke – they’re scared they won’t. Because if Iran gets one, you’re going to look like idiots when they don’t use it.
Iranians are playing for balance of power in the region. We’re playing for the Fraudi Arabians and other US client states in the Gulf.
Like I said, waste of time. Though since my MOTIVE is impugned…
I would love it if I could for one second believe that a country that talks openly about eliminating every one of their neighbor’s citizens wouldn’t use a terrible weapon to do exactly what their leadership says they want to do. I just… can’t quite hit the ‘trust them’ button on that one. I don’t mind being wrong, but the stakes are just a little bit higher if RP and you guys supporting him are wrong than if I’m wrong here.
If you support Israel, you should oppose US policy to Israel, which consists largely of the US giving them billions in order to order them around, meddle with their elections, and generally *prevent* them from defending themselves.
On the other side, it consist of the US taxpayer giving billions to the enemies of Israel, such as the Fraudis, and supporting the anti-Israel UN, to the hilt.
With friends like you, Israel doesn’t need enemies.
PS – I’m a Jew.
Nate, that’s US!
How do you think people in other nations feel when we fly drones over their country, park warships off their coast, invade their neighbors, and say that “no option is off the table” (IE nuke them – and we have them, and have actually used them, unlike anyone else) in dealing with them?
The stakes are a little high to keep playing these bullshit games. It’s time to rethink our foreign policy. We trade with China. We trade with Russia. With Vietnam.
When trade doesn’t cross borders, bombs do.
Sack of Hammers 2012
Annnnnnd done. Yeah, pretty much just fill in ‘Nope, don’t agree with that’ for me regarding every remaining argument you make on the middle east and it will save both of us a lot of time.
I’ll fill in ‘You’re wrong’ for you on everything I think regarding the region… and we can move on with our lives.
Adam,
Let’s “sandbox” something.
RON PAUL!!!!! is elected president.
Congress passes a bunch of legislation that attempts to address some of the major issues. However, it also has some part of the legislation that – I don’t know – runs counter to President Paul’s beliefs. Let’s say the legislation caps spending (don’t bother debating this, because the specific “good part” is immaterial), but it authorizes foreign aid to Israel (again, the “bad part” is also immaterial and feel free to sub your own anti-Paul element).
Does President Paul sign it?
I think what drives folks, like me, from Paul is that he has never been in the driver’s seat and thinks he can just “will” the nation to Paul’s overly rigid governing style.
What happens when he is faced with compromise legislation? He has given every indication that unless legislation is optimized, he will not sign it. That’s okay for a representative from Texas, but a leader of a nation must know the limits of ideology and must accept defeats to achieve a greater vision. He does not seem to be willing to lead a divided nation.
Folks are afraid Iran WON’T use a nuke?
Really, if you’re trying to give the “I’m not a nut” impression, that about ends all hope.
Took a second to realize what he actually said, didn’t it? That’s why I don’t debate nuts. But you go ahead. It’s a fun read.
ROFL!!!! Up twinkles RTP!

Really, if you’re trying to give the “I’m not a nut” impression, that about ends all hope.
Rock thrower,
You don’t like Paul because he is “rigid” on Constitutionalism?
If not that, why even bother?
The maxim is apparently true: those who stand for nothing will fall for anything.
Nate, people said the same of Pakistan. You know, those guys we just murdered a bunch of with our misguided foreign policy. How’s that working?
I refer you to my previous statement. =)
Seriously, what is it about you guys that makes it impossible for you to accept that someone else doesn’t agree with you, even when they’re telling you directly that they’re never going to agree with you? I really want to understand that part of being a RP supporter.
Thanls Basil! We haven’t had this much fun since Frank tried to post a piñata on IMAO. RONPAUL!!11!!!
Teasing these guys is almost as much fun as kicking puppie but not quite as sporting.
Wait for it…wait for it…wait for it…
Awww, Adam missed the point!
Adam, you asked for specifics about why folks do not support RON PAUL!!!eleventy!1!11!!
Among other reasons, I think he does not have the temperment or the maturity to be a president. That’s why I put the scenario forward. That’s why you ducked it. You know what I know. Paul is a great representative, who gives the Constitution a voice in the House, but he’d make a terrible executive. He is incapable of leading a nation that is not 100% in alignment with his beliefs.
Wouldn’t it be great if Israel was allowed to do what it wanted, making peace agreements (like they reached, but weren’t allowed to,) or make war on their own if they feel the need? Also, the Iranian leader (who is not even the leader, but 1/2 of Americans believe he is) never said he wants to destroy his neighbors. He said he wants to destroy every “STATIST RIGEME.”(big difference) So the people saying different are so naive to take whole heartedly false statements. Also, with all the condescending articles/media coverage about Paul, it is making me want to vote for him in the primary. Really. Also, there is news that he turned down Trump. People complain that there is a wealth gap, and the GOP is for the rich, but Paul and Huntsman turn down the billionaire, yet they still get ridiculed. Is that not odd?
P.S.
Please excuse the horrid spelling of my post, for I received a horrible public education from my government who thought it was more important to teach me how to not ask questions, but that I should only speak when spoken to.

RONPAUL!!!11!!!
♫ Because… Sometimes you feel like a NUT, sometimes you vote! ♫
What kind of person has the time to comment a dozen times, often writing several paragraphs, on a weekday morning? Clearly not someone with a job.
Also, a Ron Paul!11!! supporter.
Oh, and in case I haven’t done enough troll-baiting already, let me just add that Ron Paul is nuttier than squirrel poo, and he would lose 50 all states + DC against Obama. (or a lawn-gnome for that matter.)
*ahem* “all 50 states”
(good thing I wasn’t abusing him about his grammar…)
As long as you remember his name.
Ron Paul 2012!
Like any good doctor he gives it to you straight, whether you like it or not.
Ooo Rah
The only serious answer is a write-in vote for Chuck Norris.
Consider the 9-3 Virginia Tech Hokies team which was blown out by Clemson in a must win game. I guess a team with three loses, one of which a blow-out, is more chickafilay then an 11-1 team that lost by a field goal to a top 20 team.
I was a Conservative before I was a Libertarian. Think about it like this:
1. The Liberal is rapidly discarding individual rights in the supposed interest of the public good.
2. The Conservative is slowly and thoughtfully preserving some rights while sacrificing others in the interest of the public good.
3. The Libertarian is preserving and restoring individual rights while sacrificing what is deemed the public good.
Ron Paul is no magic solution to any of the countries problems, but for many people he represents the ideals of actually reclaiming certain liberties. When government is as big as the federal government is, and when it knows virtually no limitations to its power, it is inevitable that it will encroach on individual freedoms. I really think that Newt is a good conservative. And a good government man. I would expect him to be extraordinarily effective as an executive. But I wouldn’t expect a significant shift in restoration of individual freedoms.
Now, would an admittedly more hypothetical Paul presidency yield more gain in freedom? Maybe, but without a like-minded Congress, probably minimally. Add to that the restoration of individual freedoms would necessarily undo many things that are considered by many (or most even) to be for the public good – things that many in Congress will be woe to do away with.
Paul won’t win the presidency. Everyone knows that. But he has put Libertarian ideas on the table. And while folks aren’t necessarily becoming libertarian in mass, some of those old “freedom” ideas ring true with just about everyone. Better to live in a nation struggling between Libertarianism and Conservatism, than between Conservatism and Liberalism.
For those reasons, I’m going to vote for Paul. Even if means writing him in. Even if it meant four more painful years of Obama. I’m voting for old-school, 1776 style, no-seat-belt-wearing, keep your pay-check, smoke’em-if-you-got’em, get-on-an-airplane-without-a-cavity-search freedom. Lets keep the discussion on this half of the court.
slaphappy – the primary job of President is our national security. Ron Paul flunks that one – in spades. And for me, that trumps everything else I might approve of.
Wow, that Ron Paul supporter is mean — I don’t think I’ve ever seen an IMAO post that rated less than 5 out of 5 stars.
I do maintain that Frank’s ideal of a dead president can find no better man than Ron Paul. He’ll veto just about everything.
Adam, I’ll acknowledge that Ron Paul is right in his principles, if you’ll acknowledge that he’s crazy in his implementation. Let me ask you a question: do you think Ron Paul would really create a Department of Peace for Kucinich? That’s gotta be a joke, right?
Hey, maybe we just don’t get Ron Paul’s sense of humor, fellas.
RON PAUL!!!11!! ELEVENTYELEVENTY
Basil has gone Paultard fishing. I promise not tell the game warden about going over the limit, because with bait this good it’s hard not to.
Jimmy – not to put words in your mouth – but would you be willing to trade even your liberty for national security?
I’m not. I am much more concerned about the actions of US government than the Iranian government. Washington interferes with my life far more than Tehran.
slaphappy – you do realize that “Libertarian” is such a vague term its almost pointless to define? ANYONE can make an argument for almost ANY policy in the name of “individual rights” and “liberty”.
This is how Ron Paul woo’s his supporters into a false sense of comfort and security. He’ll wrap up the wars, close bases all over the world, attack the Patriot Act and try to end the drug war — then say we’ll still be safer because we’re spending less money and have essential liberties protected.
.
If there is one man who will sacrifice National Security for political points – its Ron Paul.
Fictitious question, slaphappy. My liberty and my national security are synonymous. I trade nothing.
You are right to be concerned about the actions of the US Government. But you are wrong to not be equally concerned about the actions of Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia and China that would be very happy to have you – and us – six feet under.
May I suggest reviewing the history of the 20th Century?

You’re out of candidates.
RON PAUL!!!111!UNOONE!!
Because someone has to.
So Basil,
You picked a topic, and that was Israel.
Do you want to elaborate why Israel is such a concern for you?
You didn’t read where I said RONPAUL!!1!!! supporters are nuts, and I don’t debate nuts?
Phony conservatives dislike Ron Paul because he doesn’t think the government should be in the marriage business, and that gay marriage at the state level will destroy the sanctity of marriage.
Much better to support those paragons of virtuous marriage like… serial philanderers masquerading as Republicans, Gingrich and Cain.
Basil, you should run. Your motto could be, “Duh!”
I am running. Duh!
You see fellow IMAOers, just post “RONPAUL!!1!!! and the drive-by trolls come a-running!
“Fictitious question, slaphappy. My liberty and my national security are synonymous. I trade nothing.”
Other than that pesky 4th amendment, so hated by jackboot totalitarians.
http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig6/napolitano2.html
Basil,
I never said I was a Ron Paul supporter. Just asking one of those “provide a reason for your position” questions, that’s all. If you can’t discuss it, that’s cool; but typically conservatives are adamant about stating facts to support their views.
Basil, you aren’t smart enough to debate, and you know that you’d lose while discussing ideas. You prefer low-IQ trolling: running your mouth, then running and hiding with your tail between your legs, because you can’t back it up. Also, as Adam noted, you can barely eke out enough grammar to troll. You’re a stupid coward, and will do a disservice for whichever candidate is unfortunate enough to garner your support next. I can hardly wait.
We’re not out of candidates, Bill. We have you as a candidate for….
“Ad hominem Bill!!!111!!!11”
(I’m about to give up getting any work done today – responding Ron Paul apoplectics is
too much funjust too demanding.)Jimmy, that wasn’t an ad-hominem, it was a generous observation.
Hey! Don’t y’all be picking on ad-hominem. He can bust some serious rhymes.
Whoa, Basil. Now you have to give up working today, too! Heh.
Still trying to figure out why Israel is important to the selection of the POTUS. If it’s Israel you want, why not move there?
National Security and liberty/freedom/natural rights – whatever you want to call it is not synonymous. Was Lincoln’s suspension due process in the interest of National Security for the Union? Sure. Did it trample the rights of some? Absolutely! And the internment of the Japanese – while perhaps wise from a National Security standpoint – was certainly not synonymous with the freedom of the interned.
But in any case – what are my options? I am a person who wants LESS government. I want less intervention in my life by those who insist they are trying to protect me, my children, protect my food, protect my planet, protect my poor neighbor, protect my aging parents. Maybe Libertarian is not a good word (I get it mixed up w/ Librarian). Maybe Minarchist is better. Where do I turn? Would the federal government shrink under any one of the conservative candidates? It will just grow more slowly.
If it is necessary to secure our freedoms through militarism, then lets do something decisive. How much confidence do you have that the Iraqi government that it will not fall back into the hands of someone as bad (or possibly worse) than Saddam? How much confidence do you have in lasting results in Afghanistan? If Iran is really a threat to our freedom, then lets invade. Lets put down all resistance. Lets break the people’s will. Lets set up a base and occupy for 50+ years until the situation is perfectly stable (think Japan or Germany after WWII). Any chance that will happen? Or will we just poke the hornet’s nest with a stick until public sentiment gets focused on Paris Hilton or OJ Simpson or whatever else is on the news?
Would Ron Paul make a good president? I honestly don’t know. He might be a disaster. He has not traded idealism for pragmatism (which is one of the big things that make him unelectable). I voted for McCain last time. It made me sick. I’m not doing it again. If the conservatives can’t give me better than slick Mitt Romney or awash in wisdom Newt – I’ll get radical. I’ll choose who i feel is most idealistically sound. Maybe it will take 4 more Obama years before there will be a candidate serious about reforming our runaway government. I guess somewhere along the way, I turned into one of the nuts….
Israel supporters have their priorities way out of wack. Why spend untold billions in our currency to protect one of the strongest nations in the world, as our own nation crumbles? At least Ronny boy wants to take care of the issues at home. Basil, if you are going to make ad hominen attacks about trolls maybe you should come out from under the bridge first.
Wow, and your article lacks sagacity and poise.

I think slaphappy just argued that he wants to be marginalized and ignored… wow, a reasonable RP supporter!
I honestly don’t get the ppl who think China or Russia are existential threats to the U.S. Russia is constantly on the verge of total economic collapse and the U.S. is China’s biggest customer, selling stuff to us is the cornerstone of the Chinese economy. I’m meant to believe that the only thing preventing other countries from taking over is this huge, expensive, aggressive military force? Bull. Self interest, not cartoonish villainy is what motivates actions. No country on earth is likely to attack the United States. Our ‘Allies’ spend almost nothing to provide for their own defense. Why’s this our job? I am not a rp guy, he’s not much more than an idea source, some good, some bad, some just weird. And if you’re scared of terrorism, you need to brush up on your math skills.

I think you are right on about Cain supporters probably switching to Ron Paul. But have we been given any other choice? Cain and Bachmann were the only truly (and consistently) small government conservatives in the race. While I agree with her political positions and pessimism about usage of vaccines, Bachmann has said some things that the mainstream media has just skewered her with. And I stopped supporting Cain around the time of his conflicted statements on abortion. A baby’s life is the most important issue to me.
I don’t think this post is necessarily drawing Ron Paul supporters from all over the internet… I read IMAO almost religiously, and would consider myself to be leaning toward Ron Paul at this point. (and yes, the longer you support Ron Paul, the more you bEGIN TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS… RON PAUL 2012!!!11one)
My feeling is that Paul’s views are the most consistent in the field on the subject of protecting a baby’s life and the economy.
Yes, he is far from having ideal views on foreign policy… but has any president, including Obama, followed through on their sweeping anti-war promises? Maybe it’s a dangerous wager, but I’m betting he will leave the most important war decisions to the experts at the Pentagon.
Apparently, Basil, the answer to your question is “Ten minutes or less.”
It’s the Newt and Nancy Show!
All your debate are belong to us.
RON PAUL!!!1!1!1!111!11
Did Basil ask a question, Marko? I forgot. Oh, and Bill, get with the program!
The real test of whether someone is actually a full-fledged nut is if they keep coming back to a hostile forum to defend dear leader, when everyone but themselves know it won’t do any good(especially when the main argument is against the poster’s minor grammatical errors, which starting a sentence with “like” is not one of). …wait, isn’t that against one of Ron Paul’s policies? Doesn’t he want to NOT interfere in other people’s business-even if they ARE talking smack? Huh…. food for thought.
Hey Bill, so can you tell me a good reason to permit a crisis to happen before we respond to it? Why did it take 3,000 INNOCENT Americans’ lives on 9-11 for us to realize that there are much more grave threats abroad then at home? Should we wait until Iran gets nukes and uses them to blackmail the west before we decide to take action; or wait for to them detonate a WMD in Israel or our own soil before we decide its not *our* problem?
Iran may not be *directly* responsible for loss of American life. But its pretty obvious they intend to kill us eventually when their leaders refer to us as the “Greater Satan”.
If you and RP had it your way, we’d probably end up with millions of innocent lives taken before we think about confronting our enemies

@ son of Bob – totally stealing that as my new facebook status. 🙂
I saw someone said “Israel” was an issue, and obviously you don’t know as his stance on israel is seen as very favorable by Israel and anybody that has read or listened to his stance on israel cannot say anything negative that I have seen, but the HYPE is usually that anybody who says they do not like Ron Pauls stance on israel actually does not know Pauls stance at all, then they go watch his video in FULL and then they retract their statement. This is media damage as well I think, only showing partial clips is not a wise thing to watch. (I say this as I thought this way as well and then watched his full video on the Topic).
I am a Paul Supporter and am 42 years old, and have always had a Job, and am a Veteran. So the “Paulnut” sticker only really applies to people that are uneducated attempting to blast Ron Paul Supporters. I have not yet seen one “non Ron paul Supporter” that actually knew his stance nor actually any others politician, they are just mice following various other Political Pied Pipers.
Basil is the Nut apparently.
Hey, look! Another one who leaves like three comments in a row! That’s the kind if things that the nuts that support RONPAUL!!!1!!!! do.
Thanks for helping prove my point. I owe you one.
