    Think about it. Why do whack jobs like Jesse Ventura, Bob Barr, Chuck Baldwin, David Duke and Alex Jones love Ron Paul and worship the ground that he walks on? I mean, these guys are some professional grade imbeciles. Do they see a little of themselves in Paul? Or vice versa.

    Because Paul, whatever beliefs he holds, panders to that crowd and feeds their cyncism and hatred of our moderate society.

    Our moderate society of a dying middle class, a monetary system that creates $16 trillion out of thin air, and a monarchical president who claims the power to go to war on a whim and imprison and assassinate citizens with no check or due process. Why in the world would the "extremists" be cynical?

    Bob Barr isn't so bad.

    Paul does appeal to the paranoid, but it's hard not to be paranoid after the Patriot Act and the NDAA.

    Half of all GOP voters under 30 are crazy? I recommend you make that the GOP leadership's new slogan.

    Maybe because they don't like trillions in debt, illegitimate wars from an imperial army that wind up with thousands of dead troops and hundreds of thousands of innocents dead, corrupt, bought off politicians, the shredding of the constitution and personal freedoms, "justified" under the war on terror, etc.

    Crazy stuff, I know.

    Truth seems loony in an empire of lies.

    The Constitution sounds loony in Soviet Russia.

    That says it all.

    I pay these hyenas no mind. They're the past of American politics. They'll soon start collecting their social security checks (if Ron Paul is allowed to save social security) and soon after that they'll be gone.

    These Israeli-firsters, in full favor of printing endless amounts of funny money and debasing our currency, are just in it to bust out the Republican party for all its worth before returning to the Democrats which is where they belong anyway.

    Young people are showing en masse that the GOP establishment is dying fast. The direction is liberty and true free market, not authority and crony corporatism.

    Like you said, the media is CANCER, and the older folks are mostly still tuned into the "safe" trendy candidate chosen for them by a bunch of sellout mediots.

    By the way, Bourne, why don't you explain how each of those guys are moonbats? You like throwing accusations around but you never have a good argument about anything.. Typical for a lemming.

    It's really quite simple. Each and everyone of them worship the living god Ron Paul.

    Actually, it's Ron Paul who's dying fast. How long do you expect a 76 yr old man to be around to lead these young people who are so crazy about him?

    Please continue to attack his age... that's all you have when you're stuck voting for Politicians who have constantly flip flopped on positions and have no integrity at all. It's the usual Paul attacks of "Attack the person... not the message.".

    No I never said that...anywhere, ever!

    Paul is a champion of liberty and a father, husband, vet and politician. With the youth flocking to him perhaps others will rise up.

    I just saw this video of Adam Kokesh and I have not looked into him but itÂ’s nice to see other joining the discussion of liberty.

    Ron Paul may not live forever, but ideals never die. He's made quite an impression with young republican voters, and that legacy will last a long, long time. The man has my respect.
