Then you've certainly missed all of my political posts on this board.

As much as you'd like to believe it, you're not getting special treatment.

I'll give you the benefit of a doubt on that one.

I don't read posts concerning other candidates, because AFAIC, it's Ron Paul or no one at all.

That's your bias.

Exactly!

Trust and believe, there is NOTHING evil at all about Ron Paul.

I think that depends on your POV and how much you let the guy disavow his past:

Thanks, nittanyalum.

(I overlooked a lot because I didn't know Ron Paul was trying to get the Repub nomination.)

If you're trying to allude that Ron Paul is in some way a racist, these articles really don't do a good job of making that point.

LOL. Wow. Okay. Again, POV, I guess.

I know people in Florida who feel exhausted and angry over the last several elections (Presidential election of 2000 and Democratic primary of 2007/08) where 'their votes didn't count' - so they have decided to not vote, opting to lobby for election reform instead.

They are the real source of our election problems. The 2000 election wouldn't have went down like it did if Jeb wasn't Bush's brother & Katherine "dragon lady" Harris (who was George W. Bush's 2000 Election Florida Co-Chair) weren't there to purge black voters & out of state ex-felons from the voting rolls in the guise of purging actual felons. Talk about conflict of interest.

Likewise this year's Democratic primary fiasco wouldn't have happend if the Florida Congress wasn't 2:1 Republican to Democrats. They controled the legislation to illegally push the primary to Jan. 29 & tagged on a provision that supports paper ballot printouts when one uses voter machines so Dems would be pressured to support their propasal.

Also, IMHO the only people that would refuse to vote because of what happened in the 2008 primary season are people who did not vote for Obama. Trust I don't want to be divisive but it could be sour grapes.
