That may be true, however people voting for Paul would otherwise likely vote for Thompson if Paul was not in the race. Any dilution of the vote helps Guliani as he is the front runner. Thats just statistics 101. Paul in the race makes it harder for Thompson to win.

Absolutely! The 9th and 10th Amendments are equally as important as the 2nd.Dude, I got my constitutional right to get stoned, man.
They've been investigated by the feds for supplying the tax-evading Browns with weapons
they've marched around open-carrying in downtown Manchester with cameras, trying to cause a confrontation with police
Specifically, what did they do (besides carrying legally) to try to cause a confrontation?
Personally I don't see why Paul is a republican since he does not share many conservative beliefs that the party holds dear.

Walked around outside a bar downtown and elsewhere, cameras at the ready, just hoping that a police officer would notice their GUN so they could then be noncooperative with the officer, refuse to answer any polite questions, and basically be an instigator hoping to cause a scene. The place they were walking around was apparently right across the street from the Verizon Arena, which often has family events, so I can see why a cop might politely ask them a question...which they did, and the "free state" nuts threw a drama fit on camera and did the "I will not cooperate with you, you're The Man" act. The Manchester cops are nice, they don't deserve the hassle of dealing with those loons. It's all on YouTube, you can see what a dork the anarchist guy and his handlers were being.
you need to back this now
