For the record, I live in Minnesota, am familiar with Bachmann and have actually met her before. She is wrong about Israel and many foreign policy issues, but when it comes to most domestic and spending issues, and defending the Constitution, you're not going to find many people in Congress...

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm ecstatic at how we'll we're doing in Nevada. It looks like a second place finish is possible, and I just want to thank all the hard work the grassroots in Nevada did to help accomplish this. Great job! This is just what we were looking for and I...

I thought this was a great article, and it should definitely be stickied somewhere.

Actually, we need the candidates to stay in the race as long as possible. Through Super Tuesday, if possible. Having said that, fourth place for Ron in Michigan isn't bad. Maybe we can duplicate that in Nevada and/or South Carolina.

And I didn't think they were that bad. Does this make me a racist, homophobic bigot? All the racist comments came from that one newsletter everyone already knew about. The comments went overboard, but in the context of the article, which dealt with the LA riots, it seems the statements were...

Regardless of how Paul does the rest of the primary, I think we should start to look beyond this election cycle and consider the future of this forum. I've been mostly a lurker here and rarely post, but I visit here several times a day and have wasted WAY too much time on here over the past...

Hey johnrocks, hows it going? You might know me on the Hannity board -- I'm the Grim Weeper. Needless to say, I've decided not to show my face there for a while.

I disagree. I'm not sure why he would have been able to get access to those newsletters that had the most offensive material and not any others. My guess is he had access to the entire archive of newsletters and found the most offensive stuff he could.

I've heard that most of the quotes come from only two or three newsletters.

I know, but my point is -- did the TNR writer take some of the statements out of context? (see the example I gave above) Even if Paul didn't write it and didn't edit the newsletter, it seems to me we shouldn't be ignoring efforts TNR made to make some statements appear more inflammatory than...

I'll be the first to admit I haven't read through the newsletters as a whole (i.e., looked at the scanned documents). I did read the excerpts on TNR, and frankly I felt sick to my stomach, although I completely believe what Paul has said about this and stand behind him. I'm curious though --...

I'm not sure about exit polls, but I know the final results are supposed to be in around 8 p.m. eastern time.

Is that a real screen shot?? If so ... wow. If not, stop getting our hopes up!

First, let's not completely blame Tucker, who is on our side. It's possible he didn't have a choice and was forced to put this guy on. Secondly, it was a pretty transparent smear attempt. That became obvious when this guy started talking about how Paul speaks in "codes" or whatever that...

I'm not making any predictions here, but I can't help but note Mike Huckabee was the on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno the night before the Iowa caucus, and he ended up winning that. Now Paul is going on the Tonight show the night before the New Hampshire primary .... Maybe this is a good omen...
