Glad you're here! He's not doing badly enough. At least not yet. He's trouble. He's slippery enough he might stay ahead of this a little. There are WAY too many people in the younger demos who are already taken in by him. Eight years ago the senior class at my son's high school thought ron paul was the way to go - because he was against the war on drugs and the war in general. Never mind all the other shit he believes in that just screws legions of Americans up one side of the room and down the other.

That - and I noticed that people who were too ashamed to admit they were republi-CON always said the same thing - "oh NO! I'M a libertarian!" As though that absolves them.

Seems to me we're coming down to the difference between - "do you want the government to control everything, or do you want the church to control everything?" I'd rather have secularism win out.
