I feel that McCain is too old - maybe not right now, but he will be a year older when he would take office, then add 4 years to that. He is at an age where every year older can make a big difference in physical and mental health!

I'm not saying a younger candidate would make a better president, but the chances of a 71 yr old being able to sustain his mental and physical health isn't as good. But he's a Republican, so that is your #1 reason for voting for him!

any rate, just cast your one sacred vote for Ron Paul. You won't be sorry.

Interesting sidelight:

John McCain, currently leading in the polls, is running out of casthw with which to run his campaign. The number two Gooper, Mike Huckabee, has the same problem. Fred Thompson, who never had much money to start with, has decided that South Carolina will be his last grab at the ring. No news on Giuliani' campaign which is likely good news for Rudi. Mitt Romney is pretty much self-financed. Ron Paul? Doctor Paul rules the web! His supporters have been both ardent AND generous.

So much for the big-name Goopers having the support of the upper crust, huh?

Is McCain-Feingold now biting John in the butt?

Stay tuned, folks! Ron Paul might win the nomination simply because he's the only one left with any cash to buy ad space!

According to the evening news here, Mitt Romney is pulling his television ads in both Florida and South Carolina. It looks and sounds like a 'stop loss' order. In other words, the Goopers are NOT getting any money backing. This is good news for Fred Thompson. With Romney out of the way leaves him in a hatchet fight with Mike Huckabee for second place.

Here is the funny thing, Huckabee, McCain and Thompson are all three running short of cash. Still no reports on Rudi's cash position, which I will continue to assume is good news for Rudi.

Who would've thunk it? This is shaping up to be a struggle between a Libertarian and an Establishment Republican.

It has become even more interesting yet! According to this evening's news, both Mitt and Rudi are running low on cash. Rudi is not, apparently, having as much luck as he or I either one expected in Florida.

Can it be? Is Ron Paul going to be the last man standing in the Republican fight?

Mitt is the champion of change - he's changed his mind on everything he earlier endorsed!

...to realize that it's already over for Paul. He has plenty of money but no votes.

That, actually, has a nice sound....a guy with money that cannot buy an election....

RE:'That, actually, has a nice sound....a guy with money that cannot buy an election....'

Yeah, it seems to dispel a myth or two for those willing to look at the real world and quit living in La-La Land. Not everyone will buy the facts though. They're just too damned inconvenient.

The current system of government America has failed the People, and will be replaced with a new one For the People, without religious zealots that make things wrong. The American Republic is the answer, and Judah Ben-Hur for President, 2012! Its going to happen one way or another because We Believe!

Patriot to what? Whoever finally attains the goal will, hopefully, have the smarts to surround him/herself with intelligent people of all political parties, and not fall into the one-party trap. If there isn't cooperation in the government, nothing gets done anywhere other than constant bickering and vetoing - let's hope this changes. We've seen enough of this the last two terms to last a lifetime!!!

Believe what, you silly bugger? That you can defeat the IRS with this stupidity? All you are going to do is get yourself and bunch of other gullible people into deep dark do-do!

Post here all you want, but expect me to warn people about your stupidity.
