Fine with me. The internet is free domain for all.
Did we break it?

haha, Perhaps we did break it. NPR may have underestimated the drawing power of giving Ron Paul supporters a voice.
Since my comment might not be posted with the error, here is what I wanted to post:
My name is Brent Rough and I am a 27 year old, young professional. I grew up in Montana with a good helping of the western individual spirit. I have always considered myself a libertarian though my leanings were democratic. Today both Republicans and Democrats advocate for big government and I figured if I only had a choice between big government that advocates for the poor and big government that advocates for the rich, I would choose the side that wanted to help the poor.
I never really took an interest in politics and have only voted twice, once in 98 when I was first old enough to vote and then in 2004. I never felt that I belonged in either major party, I held many views that one or the other party endorsed and both parties held views that I was against. My dissatisfaction with both parties and lack of any real hope for independent candidates caused a great deal of apathy. I disliked the system since it offered candidates that I didn't agree with and choosing between the lesser of two evils is no real choice. I simply ignored and avoided it.
With the Iraq war and the gross mismanagement of government by neo-conservatives I became angrier and angrier at a Republican party that was supposed to stand for small government and personal freedom. Before Ron Paul I wouldn't have ever thought that I would support a Republican Congressman from Texas. I was very unhappy with the array of candidates for 2008 until I saw Ron Paul on The Daily Show with Jon Stuart. I was intrigued so I began researching him and found that the things he was saying I had believed all my life but had never had a candidate say them with such passion and clarity. It gave me a new hope for this country and cured my apathy. Now for the first time in my life I find myself donating my time, talent and money to a presidential campaign for a Republican Congressman from Texas.
I don’t agree with everything Ron Paul believes, I am pro-choice and he is pro-life, but I whole heartedly agree with him when he says that the more complicated an issue is, the more local the solution should be. I think that is why Ron Paul has such a diverse following. Even if you don’t agree with him on all the divisive issues, the most important issues like individual liberty, small government and the Iraq war are very popular. Ron Paul’s federalist approach to finding solutions for the divisive issues helps us realize that if we vote Ron Paul into the Presidency, he will give us the choice on these issues, to be solved in our home towns and states and not at the federal level were a one size fits all approach is bound to failure and will make more people unhappy then happy.
Its time we get the federal government off our backs. Its time we realize that for all our good intentions in helping the less fortunate, the government is the worst possible agent to help them, its slow, inefficient and easily corruptible. I’m amazed at how the main stream media is labeling Dr. Paul a kook and radical, it’s a sad day in America when the ideals given to us by our founding fathers are considered radical and kooky.

National Public Radio will have to earn its own way when Dr. Paul becomes president.

i copied and pasted the comments into Word and it was 599 pages long
When I got to the bottom last night at midnight and made my comments I figured it was probably closing in on the end. Now my comment is in about the middle of the section. I read comments for almost three hours last night before skipping to the end. I think the may now have a sense of his real support and I suspect ther is some serious buzz occuring in the cubicles and offices of NPR.
PS Gary were those single spaced pages?
