Yawn. The newsletters written by his aide? That is the best you can do? Wow, I'm impressed, it is like I have never been to www.digg.com before! Thanks for telling me something I read about months ago! What a jokester you are.
I guess you have enlightened me, I can forget about Obama's CFR connections, the entire Wikipedia page regarding Hillary's scandals, and the other shady dealings of the blue bloods running for President, like Fred Thompson's past as a lobbyist.
All the controversy surrounding Ron Paul can be summed up in with two lines in his Wikipedia entry ("supposed racism"), even though he has recently written about racial issues refuting and explaining his views:

And miss Hillary, apple of the establishment eye, pinnacle of morality, gets an entire page of scandals:

What a corrupt individual Ron Paul is, never even taking money from a lobbyist, never raising taxes, not participating in the Congressional Pension Program, and doing crazy and kooky things like working with radical liberals like Kucinich on the war issue (look at their recent Iran vote of 411 to 2). Surely we can't have people like him representing us in Washington, we need more socialists to suckle the nipple of a fatten State teet...
I'm not new to the Interwebs. Are there any more resident trolls on Salon? Is there a list? How do I get on it?
It looks like the rats are jumping from The Good Ship Neocon Warmonger as it sails the seas of Endless War.
Maybe there is a reason why Ron Paul now has more cash on hand then McMcain? Outside of Ron Paul it is going to take massive flip flops for the GOP to elect a candidate that is not 100% pro-preemptive-war, like Mitt "Double Guantanamo" Romney, Rudy "The Scoop and Dump Nation Builder" Giuliani, Fred "Go ahead and nuke Iran, did I mention I was a massive lobbyist and represented a deposed Dictator" Thompson or John "bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran" McCain (whose campaign is dead).
The rest of the GOP condidates (and most of the Democratic candidates) all made clear that a nuclear first strike against Iran was not off of the table. Of course Paul was the ONLY candidate to mention that in his opinion that very mindset is the biggest moral problem facing the country.
Oh wait, I forgot, Ron Paul is a racist, right? Quick, somebody had better tell that to The President of Hip Hop!

Hmmmm, I guess somebody already told him.
Does it matter what his wife looks like? Hopefully it won't even get that far. Methinks that Thompson is not looking forward to or expecting any Internet support. In fact, the net is already exposing Thompson as the warmongering superlobbyist and Establishment Shill that he really is. Although his position on the war is enough to sink his ship (as well as the ships of 9 out of 10 Republican candidates).
I'm sure he will be well looked upon by the right if the lens is really focused and the blur over Thompson's image is defined. It won't look too good when he is (further) exposed as a superlobbyist, that he represented a deposed Dictator that endorsed the "necklacing" of his political enemies, that he was a spy for Nixon during Watergate, etc.
The list goes on and on and on, and it's just getting started. It is true that the far right owns the outlets through licensing and whatnot, but even the Establishment Sycophants will have trouble keeping all of Thompson's dirt under the rug.
Having a hot wife is and should be irrelevant, and it is telling that the MSM is focusing on this issue over Thompson's other decisions (which were not stellar decisions, like bagging yourself a hot wife when you are old is).
What are they debating? The same thing as last time? How big to make the check?
Am I supposed to assume that the Senate is actually going to do what The People voted in them into the majority to do and not bow to special interests? Hopefully AIPAC is on vacation.
Well, if it happens, at least we know one thing that is clear as crystal, and that is which candidate AIPAC will be supporting.
I guess Cindy missed the memo where Pelosi said that Impeachment was off the table. Besides, the Good Speaker of the People's House has already given the green light to the warmongers to nuke Iran, with a little persuasion from AIPAC, of course.
Poor Nancy, torn between listening to the People or playing sayonim for the special interests that own her lock, stock, and barrel.
Nancy Pelosi, AIPAC girl. She has more to worry about than Sheehan, like how she will wash the blood off her hands when her little "favor" to the neocon warmongers and AIPAC comes home to roost.
Sheehan hangs out with Leftists. And? So what? She is a leftist too, right? Isn't Pelosi a "Leftist" as well?
Maybe Sheehan should take some lessons from Pelosi on politicking:
Lesson 1: Instead of hanging out with and supporting fellow Leftists, hang out with (and secretly base your foreign policy on as well, important point) AIPAC, Neocononservative Hawks, and Radical Likudniks. That way the people that have given you money won't boo you when you speak to them. It is especially important if you are a "Top Ten Career Recipient of Pro-Israel PAC Funds". Way to go Nancy! Show us how to cow down to lobbyists and hawks!

That is the only lesson she needs. The short version is, "say one thing but do another."
