    Welch dropped out at the end. Will he take pity on us and finish that thought here?

    1. Matt Welch   15 years ago

      I think it was, "Young people like him also because he appeals to principle and idealism, which is something that those young people like."

    Better get the message on Today, not (just) Russia Today.

    Better get the message on Morning Links, not (just) Today.

    Matt why are you on "Russia today"?
    Your from Orange County, not your typical American suburb.
    Your favorite sport is baseball, when America's is now football, and you spent your formative years in Czeckesolvokia.
    What is the story with you and "Russia Today"?

  5. Tim Cavanaugh   15 years ago

    Love that "accidental" disruption. Putin's censors don't want Ron Paul's message getting out any more than Obama's do.
