It's been said we have three brains, one cobbled on top of the next. The stem is first, the reptilian brain; then the mammalian cerebellum; finally the over developed cerebral cortex.  They don't work together in awfully good harmony - hence ax murders, mobs, and socialism.

Leaving now....


but it is pretty safe to say that most of each...are.
Liberals tend to vote democratic and conservatives republican.

dred... I think you prove my point... if only 20% of his vote came from liberals and 27% came from conservatives (rest unknown) then he took more from conservatives and let the scum bag win.

bs..  I will vote for paul in the primaries since the republicans are fielding a very bland group.. there is not much difference in the front runners...  no good second amendment guys or cut taxes guys.. rudi is scary but not as scary as hillay... that is all I can say for the guy... I would never trust a guy from new york city in any case.

paul has the same problem as every libertarian I have seen.. they have tough ideas but appear weak and ineffectual..  wimps and eggheads... there is also a certain amount of intellectual arrogance that goes with libertarianism that most people find offputting.

I don't think pauls chances are hurt by britiney...  I think they are hurt by the fact that people are afraid to let the government go.. they ***** but...we are becoming your-0-peeeans... we are afraid of freedom and want to run our neighbors life and make someone else pay for all the things we want government to "give" us.

No wimp will turn that around.

You've said it a number of times, but as in the above post it's really undeniable.  
Nonetheless his policies are without a doubt the best of the lot.  The campaign is to choose a president, not a figurehead.

at least now he'll be voting for him in the primary!  

The way I see it, Lazs, is politics as a popularity contest isn't a game that benefits the US.  I know that's how it works, but I'm just not going to play that way.  In a pure popularity contest there's a very good chance that Paul will lose.  In a race based on principals Paul has no competition.  I'll just keep holding out against all odds and hope that enough Americans are sick of the popularity game as well.

We're around 2 months away from the first primaries, so it won't be long till we see if I'm deluded or not.

btw...  since there was a tie-in to the movie "V for Vendetta", I figured I'd post its trailer for those who haven't seen it yet.  IMO a great movie...
