Reminds me of this Ron White quote:
Some friends of mine asked me if I wanted to go to a strip club, and I didn't...want to go. But I ended up going, 'causeâback me up on this, fellasâonce you've seen one woman naked, you...pretty much wanna see the rest of 'em naked. It can be an old biker chick, you know they're gonna hang down to here. "Wanna see my titties!?" "Yeah, I do!" [cringes] "All right, that's enough, roll 'em back up, sweetheart!" [imitates her rolling her breasts back up and sealing them in place.] The things that make you go [shudders]
There's nothing to find because you're a cowardly, lying troll. First of all, I've worn the uniform. Have you? No. So following your "logic" YOU'RE anti-American to insult me with lies and smears.
Second, there are over two million people on active duty and in the reserves and a few hundred thousand dollars from that pool is chump change, not to mention that Obama has almost as much in military donations as Paul. Paul's military donations are mostly from people who I've said at least twice before are understandably tired of all the deployments. Explain how that's an insult, troll.
Third, even if the entire military wanted Paul for president (and they don't), that doesn't mean it should happen.
Finally, I haven't nor would I insult Paul's military service. But just because he's a veteran it doesn't mean he's off limits in other areas. And if you really do "think" that should be the case, YOU'RE anti-American for insulting me.

I once thought Ron Paul was a little nuts, but sent him some money, because I thought he had an important message to get across. I am beginning to believe I was influenced by others who are trying to define him as a kook. As I listened to him more closely, I realized that he is not really nutty at all, but is getting tarred with the same brush as some of his supporters who truly are nutty. I am beginning to recognize that his ideas, though breaking strongly from mainstream political thinking, are not nearly so impractical, or as radical, as they have been made out to be. Some of the polls done by professionals show him running especially strong among independents. I don't think he is nearly so unelectable in a general election as say a Gingrich or a Santorum. I expect a Paul/Obama election might be much closer than most at this point would anticipate. Were that to happen, we would see an election where the distinction between the candidates would be every bit as sharp, and possibly more so, than the 1972 McGovern/Nixon campaign offered. That would really be something! I think the Republican party is making a mistake to write him off. He might in fact be just what the Republicans need to bring them back to their roots of fiscal conservative philosophy and re-energize a party that has been too heavily influenced in recent years by, shall we say, somewhat less than bright individuals.
