Although it couldn't possibly be clear from my comment, it gives me no satisfaction to have the mainstream media put upon me *through* you. It's belaboring the obvious while belaboring the oblivious. For those with calculus in their background, it's like taking the second derivitive of noise and treating it as significant.

Vote for yourself if you want to be sure you're not giving your precious vote to a monster. Demand to see your vote in print after the elections. With one vote you can register your discontent with the two-party system AND help independently verify the statistical accuracy of our voting system. Boycott the two-party system in 2008.

That guy Tony is like so many others I've read/heard. It's like they are in a trance, or on some mind control substance. They give oversimplified gross generalizations about how R.P. is the great savior, but I have yet to hear or read any of them discussing the relative merits of his policies. It's always just . . . <em>"Must . . . Vote . . . Ron . . . Paul. Must . . . vote R-r-r-r-on-on-on . . . PPPPPaul."</em> Yeah, riiiiiight! STRANGE PHENOMENON

RonPaulBots among us.
