Probably more than from our own :)

Hey those from other campaigns!

"IT'S THE CONSTITUTION STUPID"

Read it here http://www.archives.gov/national-archives-experience/charters/constitution.html

That's all Ron Paul is asking for, just let the Federal Government follow the Constitution.

Funny this is being asked.... However I was offered a paying position for McCain today on the phone.

This since I was an Ambassador for McCain at the RPOF conference in Orlando.

I turned it down... and my wife was in the back ground saying Ron Paul.... Ron Paul.... Ron Paul.

I don't know whether he's paid or not, but MAYTHERONBEWITHYOU is the most obvious troll I've seen so far.

Some day soon we need to have a vote on the trolls, and force them to reregister so they don't have the kudos of July-Aug registrations.

If a consensus can be reached based on their post histories, the most harm we can do is force them to reappear as a nobody.

Perfect Fight Club opportunity missed, but personally I wouldn't deliberately lie about my support for Ron Paul in order to work for a rival campaign, so I don't blame you.

Yeah MAYTHERONBEWITHYOU is really pushing that 3rd party BS already.

I wouldn't go for that, but I've certainly noticed that I waste a lot of time looking at post histories before deciding if I should take someone seriously or not.

My guess is 30+, and I have no doubt that many registed here before I did.

Yup, but the country will have a terrible case of buyers remorse.

None. They're all paid CONTRACTORS (less trail and paid through PACs and such). All you need to do is look at past posts on any of the writers' boards. They pay squat, and they don't much care what is posted as long as it's divisive and the poster can prove the NUMBER of posts.

Good point, and I'd expect that point from someone named "freelance." And you're right come to think of it... it's dirt cheap, so much so that I just doubled or tripled my previous estimate.
