Trick or Treat?

Bill Clinton got drunk in college and ended up sleeping with this woman from the sorority. He woke up the next morning in a strange bed and all his clothes were missing. That wasn't a shock since it happened many times before. The shock came when he pulled back the covers and found Hillary sleeping next to him.

If Ron Paul understood the Constitution, I wouldn't be making fun of him. Of course, he does routinely make a total jacka** out of himself. :D

Actual Ron Paul supporters can spell. We can also make grammatically correct sentences.
Rep. Ron Paul (R-Who cares?) is a nut. I don't get the obsession with this guy that wants to eliminate the FBI, CIA, IRS, and then blames 9-11 on past foreign policy (Rudy did whack him good on that that fiasco).

The only thing Ron Paul is good for is entertainment: how big of a jerk will he make of himself tonight? Only Kucinich looks more crazy. Paul, Kucinich, and Gravel (the other Democrat nut kicked out of the debates) should all get together and go on some medication.

Kucinich and Ron Paul supporters think both are some God of Politics because they won an Internet Poll. Both just prove there are complete nutjobs in both parties.

Have to agree with Joe Biden on Kucinich: the only thing good about him is his wife.

Ron Paul believes the War Powers Act is Unconstitutional (pretty sure he thinks the income tax is illegal too). Kucinich believes in UFOs according to the last debate, which made him look like a complete idiot. Maybe his wife is an alien? No, she's British. But, that doesn't explain the crop circles at Kucinich's farm. :)

Ron Paul is way outside the box, but if he wasn't he wouldn't have supporters (that's growing), he's the only candidate that makes the truth the truth and that's why he's so weird cause most are so used to not thinking for themselfs but have gov do it for them. the other candidates want to tax tax tax, and more gov.

I think it quite likely that he will run third party- he's already proved that he's incapable of being embarrassed, and he's hinted at the possibility in the past.He's stated repeatedly that he has no plans to run third party.

And more respected polling organizations- like Rasmussen- have Paul at 1-2% in NH. He'll probably do a bit better than that in the primaries due to the slavish devotion of his supporters, but it won't be enough to have an impact.
Rasmussen reports results that are pretty consistently off the mark in national polls compared to, say, Gallup. Gallup isn't doing state-by-state polls, unfortunately. With the general low attendance of primaries, it seems like primary polls aren't as accurate as general election polls. For example, two weeks prior to the 1996 primary, Buchanan was polling just 11%, yet won the primary. Ron Paul has undoubtedly the most passionate supporters, much like Buchanan did, so there could be a January Surprise.
