4. I know Ron Paul pisses people off

but god bless his little Keebler heart for responding to that stupidity with some sanity.

I like how he didn't bow under pressure, when the boos started he didn't falter, he doubled down. Fuck the time limits, what he said had to be said RIGHT THEN.

Fuck Gingrich for being a cowardly, war-mongering hypocrite, and fuck Santorum too, for snickering in the background while Paul peace got booed.

If you even asked them that question, they'd twist it into some diatribe about how they're ashamed of the country under Obama, etc. Republicans these days have only two motivations: Lust for power and hatred of liberalism.

And yet, here it is again, a whole faith ceded to the right which I can only see as justified by prejudice.

12. So a draft dodger who was too much of a coward to serve during a war

wants to start wars and kill people? Someone who actually served in the military wants to stop the wars, stop the killing, and bring the troops home. The coward and draft dodger will win that one every time with the idiots that vote for repukes.
