I was a staunch republican, middle class, middle age sheeple who supported the party until the day I saw that bumper sticker "Google Ron Paul" and woke up. I am still a registered republican, but only because I want to vote in the primaries. I no longer support the party, because of THIS^^ I'm...

What RP forums does really well? Hrmmmm.... OK here goes. Preach to the choir. If we are to have any success at all in changing minds, the most important thing we can do is influence others. Spread the word. 3 minute soundbites that make people think. Slogans and catchy songs. Our people are...

You're joking right? I HOPE you're joking.

I'm saddened to say, I believe they are correct in their assessment.

We're a minority in Texas too. Changing demographics /shrug.
