Ron Paul Supporter Likes The Way Paul Tells It Like It Has No Chance Of Being

RICHMOND, IN—Self-proclaimed strict constitutionalist and freethinker Rick Crawford told reporters Monday he is supporting Ron Paul in the 2012 Republican presidential primaries because of the way the candidate looks people directly in the eye, doesn't mince words, and tells it like it will never, ever be in a million years. "Ron cuts right through the fat and doesn't sugarcoat anything when he talks about policies that would be absolutely impossible to implement, like abolishing the federal income tax, eliminating Medicare, or putting the nation's currency back on the gold standard," Crawford said as he pounded a hand-painted "Ron Paul 2012" sign in his front lawn. "He's not afraid to give Americans no-nonsense straight talk about his completely delusional fantasy world. That's why I'm part of the highly unlikely Ron Paul revolution." Sources close to Crawford's family said his wife supports Mitt Romney because of the way he tells it like people want to hear it.

Ron Paul will never allow the Chicken-Hawks dictate when and how many Wars he’ll have to support.

I bet one could actually find one or more Paul supporters who would actually say what's in the Onion piece!

One of my favorites is how money can regulate it's self with no fear that greed will enter to manipulate it.

As sure as water can find it's own level, Paul preaches that the American dollar, left unregulated by the Fed, will seek it's true value in the free market universe of Ron Paul's mind. Wall Street greed being non-existant in this imaginary realm, interest rates will settle to a fair rate and the economy will live happily ever after.

Another fairy tale sees air travel as safer if his son can fly without TSA interruption.
