Default Presidential Candidate Ron Paul on board

Saw this today on gambling 911:
http://www.gambling911.com/Ron-Paul-...ng-042707.html

Here is a guy running for president who had some great things to say about why the UIGEA shouldn't have passed. He voted against it in the house. Click on the link above to read his stuff.

Very nice.

lol why is there a pic of some stripper with the story? Ron Paul's Mistress?

Gambling911 proves once again that they're the epitome of professional journalism, as we can also see from this story.

This is hardly surprising. This guy is running for president as a Libertarian. The R by his name is mostly symbolic of his pro-life stances, and to make him electable. He is really Libertarian on all issues such as this.

QFT and to say that this is also not the first time Congressman Paul has ran for President. How many of you knew his name back then (or even that he did?)

While it's great to have his support (and it should be noted that in no way am I downplaying how important it is to have his support,) thinking that because he's a presidential candidate this bill has any more clout is just not so. The vast majority of the public does not know he is even a candidate.

In an email he sent a couple of us a few months ago, he promised that he'd do that. I'm glad he found the final bill acceptable to keep that pledge.
