I lost a lot of respect for Paul when he made that "16,500 armed IRS agents" comment and when Paul, who wants small federal government to stay out of state issues, started whining for federal aid when he even thought the BP oil spill might affect his area.

You can't have it both ways. :nope:

I like *some* of his ideas, but frankly he does not seem to have the judgment that would lead me to entrust him with the Presidency. Nor do I think he has a chance of "making the deal".

Just my opinion, YMMV

Bachmann, Palin and the like are not some of the brightest, they compensate their deficits by being noisy, underhanded and vitriolic. And somebody who feels attracted by a movement and supports a movement that brings up such questionable figures by the high numbers, is unlikely to be much better equipped inside his skull.

Fly with the crows, get taken as a crow. The fool following a fool hardly is the smaller fool just because he trails instead of leading.

Wow! She would be a great asset to the US as President.
Makes it easier for the voters, right? :haha:
