Re: Crazy Uncle Ron

Good Afernoon PlainOl;

 

As I pointed out above:

 

Fact:  A lot of Ron Paul's supporters are incredibly irritating: There are, without question, plenty of decent folks who support Ron Paul. However, for whatever reason, his supporters as a group are far more annoying than those of all the other candidates put together. It's like every spammers, truther, troll, and flake on the net got together under one banner to spam polls and try to annoy everyone into voting for Ron Paul (which is, I must admit, a novel strategy).

imperialist interventionists in the GOP will vote for somebody other
than a conservative republican.
