Ron Paulbot Family Members

Oy my head is hurting me. My younger very naive cousins are Ron Paulbots to the extreme. These kids have even posted derogatory statements about family members who area anti-Paul (namely yours truly). I am truly scared for the youth in our country when they listen to guys like Ron Paul.

that his 'leave corporations alone' position enables wars as this country wouldn't go to war unless the corporations have made the determination that they will profit from it. Paul wants Chevron and Exxon left alone to make their own decisions, yet, it's pretty obvious even to schoolkids that we are in conflict with entire regions BECAUSE we're 'protecting' the bottom line interests of oil companies in those regions.

They yak about 'freedom' yet they want corporations to have completely unrestrained control of their workers and consumers. Paul always votes for the corporations and never for workers or consumers.
