Yes, it takes several seconds/minutes to kill something that way, far too long :)

Too bad only us hardcore RP supporters will see this. Shit, I could see some of those 'progressives' (progressing steadily towards government-inflicted poverty and death) voting for Giuliani and McCain. Disgusting.

It's tough to read. I've been going back and forth with a staunch Hillary supporter about economics, the war, abortion, state's rights, immigration, etc. And he stated to me that 1. Hillary has the best plan for this country economically and 2. That health care reform is the number one issue.

I was simply aghast and amazed at this. Hillary better on ECONOMICS than Ron Paul? WHAT? I asked him what programs she would cut for universal health care. Social Security? Education?

How can a far left person, like he is, think that us having universal healthcare (which will bring this country to it's knees, financially) is more important than stopping all the killing going on in the Middle East at our hands?

And this guy is a college professor!

If you think it's a good idea to Digg it, I will. I hesitate to b/c of some of the inane commentary in there, but I can do it.

I really wouldn't Digg an article that says a Progessive Democrat in Michigan is voting for Ron Paul because it will help destroy the Republican Party. LOL

You might want to bury this article.

Yeah...I appreciate the offer, and I tend to have no compunctions about digging stuff I think is important, but this one really IS riddled with ignorance. I hope this goes around in 'progressive' (progressively degenerating brainpower) circles, though.

To Digg or not to Digg, that is the question.

I would never associate this with Dr. Paul's good name in any way whatsoever. That said...

I'll stick to my first instinct then and not get it dugg. I agree with all of your comments, but am intrigued with getting more of the anti-war vote.

Haha! I just sent it to my BIL. He and I have been going back and forth all summer and this might convince him to vote RP tomorrow better than I ever could.

No, I don't think it would be good to Digg. This is only good for far left blogs.
