I wanted to post a response to a local pro-Ron Paul article here (http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2012/jan/28/letter-ron-paul-is-only-candidate-in-primary-quo/) and the subsequent ignorant comments that have been made (only 2 so far).

What's a good site where I can direct people to squash the predominant myths about Ron Paul?

Also, is there a good up-to-date "Ron Paul has never..." list?

Wow, I just refreshed the page where that pro-Ron Paul letter was posted, and now there's 5 additional comments coming to the aid of Ron Paul already. We are on top of it here in FL. I'd still like to contribute to the comments section though... so I'm still looking for some good quick resources to combat the ignoramuses.

Thanks Phil!

Also, I found this "Ron Paul has never..." list here (http://www.ronpaul.net/html/about.html) but I've seen some with more substance than this...



Brief Overview of Congressman Paul’s Record:

He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.

He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
He voted against the Iraq war.

He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.

Congressman Paul introduces numerous pieces of substantive legislation each year, probably more than any single member of Congress.


Anything with a little more meat than this?
