Paul has a pretty good head of hair for a 76 year old, he barely has a bald spot on the crown when my uncle is losing a lot of hair on his crown at mid 50's.

Ron Paul has some GREAT karma, I wonder what he was in his past life.

I was thinking it must be a screening room at McDonalds corporate headquarters or something, but that would be in Illinois...

When I advertised an RP event in the local newspaper (an event held in my home,) we had people ranging from a 3 year old who chased my cat around the house to an 85 year old man who drove an hour to get here.

In fact, the only 18-23 year old who came were a group of my brother's pothead friends who we got to register Republican, and a staff photographer from ohe of the papers that sent teams out to cover the event. We had at least 20 people in the 60+ range show up... plus lots of families who brought kids with them, a few twenty-somethings--several of whom brought their parents--and quite a few 30-40 year old men who came alone. There was a group of women in their 30s who came together too.

The big rallies tend to have a lot of young men in attendance, but Ron's base is so much wider than that. Liberty appeals to everyone with a brain.

And Occupy Wall Street is a bunch of commie Marxists, too. :rolleyes:

Nope, but they aren't in Iowa, and we can educate them all we want, but none of that shit is going to happen if Ron doesn't win Iowa.

Very encouraging! I hope he's drawing crowds like this all over Iowa.

Because 18 year olds living in their parent's basements are bad people. Got it. Not the corrupt bankers and government elite. No, it's the 18 year old living in his mother's basement causing the destruction of society.

It's so sad when MSM ridicules Ron Paul supporters. Don't they realize they are ridiculing so many of the men and women of our military at the same time?

I wish I was living in my parents basement...beats paying insanely high living costs in overpopulated run down zoned-to-hell cities and taking public transporation hours each week.

I'm with ya! Paid cash for my home when I was 21 years old--with no help from anyone. 26 now and still here... have since taken out a HELOC, but the title and deed are mine.

Ron's base really is far wider and more diverse than the media would ever admit. And right now, there are more adults living with their parents than probably ever before--we all know families with kids who've had to move back into their parents' homes due to divorces, job losses, etc. and more and more college aged students are living at home to save money--living at home is hardly the criticism it was 10 years ago.
