May 1, 2009 - 8:28am — CitizenOpinionatedWell Gosh - not that I am defending Paul - never met him - not in my district - how about you run for office since apparently you have two cents to say about everyone conservative. Why not put your money where your mouth is instead of hiding behind some pin name? I would run but I am too young and it is funny because I am probably able to defeat you in any political debate about the issues. What does that say for you moon bat?
