I think Ron does us a service by laying these snakes out straight and lecturing like a professor instead of tossing empty slogans and phrases at us. By the way most of what he wants to do already lines up with what the people want, therefore he doesn't need to sell it like a used car salesman.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7984353172861963227.post-21676244013737357412007-05-18T10:24:00.000-04:002007-05-18T10:24:00.000-04:00good point and well written, thank you.good point and well written, thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7984353172861963227.post-8690058696678442212007-05-17T09:55:00.000-04:002007-05-17T09:55:00.000-04:00I think a legitimate candidate isn't going to soun...I think a legitimate candidate isn't going to sound like polished sound bites are being piped from his mouth. It's obvious that Ron Paul stays on point, but I don't get the feeling he's reading a script.<BR/><BR/>And, things are complex if you want to understand how they came to be "messed up". Sometimes, people don't even understand what is "messed up" they thing "messed up" is normal. So, some explanations are necessary. Often the solutions may be relatively simple but the situation may need some explanation.<BR/><BR/>We Americans could work to improve on our attention spans anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
