About Me

Lord of the Swamps

My Interests

nutrias, swamps, kudzu

I'd like to meet:

That should be I'd like to meet (grrr!)... anyway, it would be The Nutria Queen, of course.

Ron Paul, neither "conservative" nor "liberal" (or maybe he's both!), speaks from his heart and speaks the truth. The other candidates, whether Republican or Democrat, talk in rehearsed sound bites designed to get the vote. If you want to get rid of a government controlled by special interests, you have to vote for courageous so-called "2nd tier" men and women rather than those that are paid for by the power elite. I have changed my registration to Republican so I can vote for Ron Paul in the primaries.

To see more videos and share in the excitement that is spreading across the U.S., just go to YouTube and search for Ron Paul.

Join us in our mission to take our country back from the corporate-supported warmakers paraded before us as Democrats and Republicans. Finally, there is a real choice! This is more than left vs. right, or Democrat vs. Republican. This is right vs. wrong.

"But Ron Paul cant win!"

Until very recently, almost every media mention of Ron Paul used his name only as part of the exact same phrase: "Ron Paul, who barely registers in the polls...."  Countless internet polls ask us...

The U.S. Constitution - Who Cares?

I was just thinking that a lot of Americans probably think the Constitution is some old-fashioned document that isn't relevant these days. It seems obvious that we don't care about it much anymore as ...

Why I Support Ron Paul, Even if He's Anti-Abortion

A family member who is sympathetic to my libertarian political philosophy expressed reservations about Ron Paul because he is strongly "pro-life".  I happen to be pro-choice -- pro-choice on *eve...
