| An excellent response, that Dr. Paul.
He is so wonderful, and I have noticed something promising in my daily life that is evidence of Paul's 'fame'.
I am currently in Omaha, NE, a city in a state that has banned adult video stores, because it corrupts the youth, and all such things. Omaha has always been red, only some points in NE have ever been otherwise. They have a unicameral, for goodness sakes.
However, despite this somewhat clear idiocy at play, Paul in '08 bumper stickers are proudly displayed next to Bush in '04. Now, I am not a person that typically derives meaning from the number of bumper stickers per candidate statistics, however, I see it as promising for Paul.
I, a well-meaning socialist, am planning to register Republican only to vote for Paul in the primary (I'll be in MN at that point).
Paul attracts the largest base of voters from every philosophy. I love him because I hate the Iraq War, I hate the military industrial complex, I hate killing people and I hate paying money to a government that wastes it and uses it to kill people.
Conservative Bible-belt Christians like Paul, despite his 'pro-evolution' stance, because, dare I suggest it?, he makes them remember what it means to be Conservative. It means- small govt.!?!? little to no taxation?!?!? no big enough army to be waging many wars at once?!?!?!
But yes, I think he is bringing people back to their senses. And I am grateful that for once, my vote won't be wasted on the lesser of two evils.
