LOL, I hear you. It can be fun sometimes though, especially if you have nothing better to do late at night. You will at least feel a lot smarter about yourself.

Good quote from this article.

I think it's time for us to come home and mind our own business. I fear much more the erosion of the protections of our liberties here at home and the erosion of our economy than I do from any foreign adversary.
---Ron Paul

Few conservatives visits there so this article won't matter much anyway.

A lot of liberals and independents are crossing over to vote for Ron Paul and they do read Huffington Post... I have a friend who has been a life long democrat, he is an academic, and in 2007 he hated Ron Paul and was all about Hillary and Obama... come 2011 and he has donated over 300 dollars to Ron Paul on the various moneybombs and, having recently moved to Minnesota, will be voting for him there. He has also convinced both of his parents (two retired University professors and also lifelong liberals) to back Paul as well. Any good press, regardless if its on TheBlaze or Huffington is good for Ron Paul.

You should encourage your friend to write an article describing his transition to Paul, I'd be most interested in reading it and passing it along to other liberals who are warming to the idea.

It is surprising to hear anyone say this. One does not have an opportunity to change people's minds and "expand our base" by posting on RP Forums only. To do so one must take the battle to the enemy, in their camp. Do you think they are going to come looking for us?

Sorry, but I find the "head in the sand" approach lacking in any inititative to do the work necessary to try and win new converts to the Ron Paul message.

We here are never afraid to defend our philosophy with facts and reason. Why would anyone avoid doing so at every opportunity on every possible website. We just might convert some people, who then might convert some other people. That is what grassroots is all about.

I tend to stress on HuffPo Ron's positions on Corporate personhood, and the wars.

The only argument I ever get is that Obama is getting us out of Iraq...

LOL, sure he is, according to George W. Bush's timetable.
