I watched one of the debates and Ron Paul was asked
"why did you not vote for the Patriot Act?"
His answer: BECAUSE I READ IT.
he told it like it is. I loved the look on the other candidates faces.

There was stunned silence in the room.
He then when on to explain his reasoning.

He hasnt been invite to last few debates- not because of that but because he is not considered a "frontrunner"
I Think it really sucks that the people who care enough to run for office, but dont have the billions, never get their side of the issues out there for all of us to see.

If you have the money, you get the votes.
pathetic


Untrue, he was in the debate on Saturday, but not Sunday. I understand their reasoning why, but i still think he should have been allowed to participate.
