Ron Paul is a baby elephant

From around the country, Ron Paul's followers are descending on New Hampshire to go door-to-door for their man. But what do they really want?

    So what about Dennis?

    He doesn't exactly have the same die-hard supporters, but he's got a similar thing going. Certain areas of YouTube have basically turned into a battle ground between the KoochieCrats and the RonPaulicans. I think it's time for Salon (and the MSM) to take Dennis at least as serious as Paul.

    In fact, what people constantly forget when touting "their" honest candidate, is that this time there are four of them: Ron Paul, Mike Huckabee, Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel. All four say what they mean and mean what they say, and oppose the establishment, no matter what. Their each one's fans sometimes forget the others, and the MSM (and, shamefully, Salon) have deigned to take seriously only Paul and Huckabee. Odd, as they are more extreme than the other two. Huckabee wants (HIS) religion to guide politics, Paul wants to get rid of the Income tax, and eliminate most of government. But at least they're honest, right?

    Except that so are Gravel and Kucinich, and their ideas are NOT totally on the fringe. In fact, they represent what most Democrats actually do believe (no Kucinich does not believe in aliens, to infer that is BS). So the whole thing is kind of unfair.

    So, I challenge Salon to write some serious articles on Gravel and Kucinich. None of this UFO crap. Trust me, it won't hurt. And the establishment won't come get youm either. Liberals are reig“ning themSELVES in!
