reason.tv's Dan Hayes went backstage at the Ron Paul Rally for Liberty to talk with attendees about what motivates them to follow the Texas congressman. (Hint: It's not Jesse Ventura's 9/11 theories.)

    That was awesome. Those two little kids would make better presidents than McCain or Obama.

  2. shecky   18 years ago

    Who'da thunk coonskin caps would work so well as a Ron Paul themed event?

    All good libertarians wear a funny hat at gatherings.

  4. Bingo   18 years ago

    Tin foil being the most popular of all at Ron Paul events...

    I am really impressed with B.J. Lawson. I hope he makes it into Congress and eventually has the opportunity to run for high office. He may have to start going by William though. Yes, I think Fellatio jokes are that important.

    As a rule, they're tinfoil.

    So Dan, where's the up close and personal of Sara Evans? 😉

    I never got the Paul songs a bit too much for me. Sadly it looks like the end, thanks truthers. The "movement" is not even that old and they need a purge already...LOL.

    Is "tin foil" used metaphorically, or is it simply your best slur of those with whom you disagree?
