I am active on a forum made up of hundreds of conservative Catholic women. I've seen Ron Paul grow on that group in a big way. Just a few days ago someone started a thread about not liking her options this election season and 8 or more women all started explaining Ron Paul's platform and linking to YouTubes.
That's great - I tried that regarding a homeschool loop (sent an article about some big names in homeschooling who support Ron Paul) and I immediately got a post saying "RP is a racist" with newletter links, etc. I HATE confrontations and was ready to drop it but instead got up my courage and replied; The newlsetters were an unfortunate error in judgement, he did not write them, and has apologized. He is the ONLY GOP candidate to go against the NDAA and has our best interests at heart. Take Care. This was at the time of Obama signing the NDAA.
No response after that, which I took as an end to the bashing.
