What I should do is go outside the polls and setup a little projection setup with Ron saying his beliefs, that will make people notice him (its probably illegal though  )!  | Each state has a different date for the primary.

Looks like February 19th for the Republicans in Wisconsin.
And setting up camp outside a polling station is indeed legal (though I don't know if a permit or permission is required). I got bombarded the first time I went to vote by people making the case for their candidate...and that was just for local elections.  |

Ron Paul for President???
He was the weed amongst the roses last night!
You people are something!
I guess ol' Ron doesn't look forward to CIA briefings if he became President.   | |

| From what I heard, he was the rose amongst the bullshit.

He's the only one willing to break away from the modern-day GOP mold, which is a good thing - the Republicans are starting to look a lot more like the Democrats, which isn't a good thing. | |

| That's a good one, TRB.  Would you mind giving as many examples of that phenomenon as you can? If anything, the GOP mainstream is trying to push their party farther and farther to the right whereas it seems the Dems are sliding more to the center except on domestic issues. | |

I know know that there are bureaucratic deficiencies but thats just down right dumb as all hell. Ya, he sure will make a good president one day.
What this country need is someone who has a back ground in handling bureaucratic deficiencies. Especially in this day and age. One Department that needs attention is Homeland Security! I'm sure Ron Rico would do away with that too. | |

They're afraid to kick Mexicans out and shut down the border for fear of lost votes. The modern-day politician is a coward who cares more about votes than his country. It's pretty sad.
Not to mention neither side cares about spending - if anything, the Republicans want to expand the government, which is a Democrat ideology - socialism is the wave of the future, I suppose.

How is it dumb? Wipe 'em all out and start from scratch. The easiest way to solve a bureaucracy problem is to get rid of it. Business organizations are slowly moving away from the vertical approach in favor of a horizontal management system - the government should do the same. | |

And abolish the CIA, FBI, and other secret organisations.
That was a JFK promise, and look where it got him. | |

I fear the same fate for Ron's ethical pursuits if he makes it to the top (GO RON!)
On another note (sorta), while we all know Fox is a propaganda rag, here are some bare numbers to put it ahead of the pack (lacking any bias or content data, strictly mentions in pieces): http://www.usaelectionpolls.com/2008...-fox-news.html
