U2Dem's been out, so I'm posting the updated Primaries.

CTU2fan said:If I was a Republican I'd vote Ron Paul. And to be honest I don't understand why a Republican/conservative wouldn't vote Ron Paul. Imagine if the election were Ron Paul/Dennis Kucinich and we could have some real Left vs. Right dialogue rather than the usual varying degrees of moderate that we're stuck choosing between.

Did I say that at all??? You are just putting words in my mouth.
First of all, I wasn't only talking about Ron Paul. I meant Dennis Kucinich also.
Second, I said the media is biased, not Americans, and this you and I agree with.
Third, I said Americans are stupid, yes, but I never said that they are stupid because they doubt Ron Paul's truth. Let me explain here. What I meant was that many Americans are stupid when they support a candidate purely because they: have a popular name, are good looking, are young, are a woman, are black, are an actor, are Christian, are the wife of Bill Clinton...without knowing much about the issues at all, and that is where the stupidity is.

Actually, you did say that. Whether you meant it or not, you said Paul's not getting elected because Americans are stupid and the media is biased.
Second, it's stupid to claim that any politician "speaks the truth." I think there are politicians that are more honest than other, but it's pretty much impossible to be a politician and be truthful. It's not how the game is played. It's unfortunate, but it is the truth.
Now, what are your thoughts on Americans who have researched the issues and think Paul is full of shit or, at the very least, isn't a smart choice?

This DVD was left on all of the conregation's windshields while we worshipped in church yesterday.
The Church frowns on this.
We never endorse any candidate, this is why some LDS support Harry Ried, have supported Morris Udall in the past- both prominent Democrats.
A lot of Right Wing extremists have been excommunicated from the Church along with Left Wing fanatics.
Ron Paul is a nusance.
