YUP! and with all that... Rep. Ron Paul is top of the list of congressional representatives who’ve paid family members fees and salaries from their Campaign.

Nope! Just like Druggy Rush calling Ms Fluke a slut... It's not illegal... it just shows you why a guy who is polling 8% is still in the race. He supports his entire extended family by campaigning.

Ron Paul supporters dominate GOP caucus in St. Louis
ST. LOUIS • Supporters of presidential candidate Ron Paul dominated the Republican caucus in St. Louis on Saturday with a majority-vote victory over two other slates backing other Republican nominee hopefuls.
The slate backing Paul cast 158 votes in the non-binding caucus Saturday. The purpose was to choose representatives to a round of Congressional district meetings in April and June that will repeat the process to send 52 delegates from Missouri to the August convention in Tampa, Fla.
The slate that primarily backed Santorum had 74 votes, while the Romney slate mustered 50 votes.
Some 300 people packed the cafeteria at St. Louis Community College at Forest Park for today's caucus. Each caucus is run like a mini-convention, with participants electing a chairman and voting on rules, which determine if delegates are selected individually or in a slate, if they are bound to a particular candidate, or if they move forward uncommitted.
Paul, a Texas Republican with a fierce libertarian streak, has polled low nationally but he has been able to pick up delegates thanks to scattered successes in states, like Missouri, using the caucus system.
Most of Missouri's 142 caucus gatherings were held March 17, but St. Louis and Jackson County, which includes Kansas City, were given special permission to hold them this weekend, so as not to interfere with last week's St. Patrick's Day's events. Official results will not be known until next month.
A caucus vote was also being held today in Jackson County.

Listen to this crazy b****, party loyalty at its finest Love the part where she says you are either with us or against us like it is the war on terror or some bs. This my friends is why the country continues to go down the crapper, if Americans keep putting their party ahead of the country we will continue to get the same crap and we can all forget about returning to a constitutional republic.

Some pretty lame questions like 3rd party runs and will you vote for the nominee, last time I looked this election isn't over but Paul did good in standing his ground and standing behind his principles. As far as saving the republican party I could care less about them, after this election I'm dropping out from them and will register Independent, this movement is bigger then the republican party and frankly they don't deserve our support considering what they stand for now which isn't conservatism and smaller government.

I joined a 'political party' once thinking I could help to make a difference....NOT! It is a huge embedded system in ALL parties. I am a registered BLANK and have been for years and years and have no intentions of changing. I will support a 'candidate' but not a party. I support Ron Paul because of his ideology....not because of his party affiliation.
