1. Well, its not like me to get all that emotional....

...but I hate this crazy f#$k and his cult-like followers.

3. His followers are EXTREMELY annoying and cult-like

I'm tired of his cult spamming the Internet with crap like, "Ron Paul 2012" and "Only Ron Paul can save us". It's like these idiots never heard of the word DEMOCRACY.
