who could vote for Obama after not vetoing the NDAA ? with the help of finish the dang fence Mc cain and no lawyer for you Linsey Gram. Ron Pauls son Rand was 1of 7 senators not sign it. What's with the barnyard provision? what the hell?

RON PAUL 2012!!!

[sleepyeyeguy]

hahahaha....OMG She's famous and isn't a shallow establishment whore? She cares about liberty and empowering the people.

[mindinsolitude]

Kelly is a musician, that's why people should like/dislike her, based on her music alone. She can have any political belief she likes and not be called a "C U Next Tuesday"

And to be fair Kelly is from Texas at the end of the day. It would be a bigger suprise if she came out as a Democrat. She always seemed the typical Libertarian to me.

Right on Kelly!!

@motter28218 Nobody did, even the quasi-journalists who are the hosts of this poser-journalism show "The Young Turks" didn't think of the context, how do you think an average hypnotized-by-the-media non-caring American would fare?

[motter28218]

Aside from the fact that Ron did not write the letters, has anyone actually read them IN CONTEXT, they really are not at all like the little snippets the media loves to put out there to stir shit up, but ofcourse, who would do research on their own, that would take to much work, easier to just think the worst about a person.
