Holy Crap: Ron Paul is an Idiot
Surely, the Ron Paul mania is one of the dumbest phenomena of the last ten years, but I never realized how dumb it actually was. I just saw the man speaking on CNN. He's not that bright.

That was jaw-dropping.

Wow.

4. He's *very* dumb, yes.
Every time I see him speak, he says something that is just off-the-charts stupid.

5. He's a one-trick pony. It doesn't take much brains to say what he says. Example

of a possible Ron Paul brain.

EXAMINE SITUATION
SITUATION -> X
CHECK (GovernmentInvolved)=i
IF i="YES" THEN

8. I think it's more like this.
There're two components--the program and the accompanying documentation (both are included)
Ron Paul Brain v.0.1 issue list.
Iraq: 1--------------Social Security: 6
Healthcare: 2-------Property Rights: 7
Taxes: 3------------Education: 8
Immigration: 4-------Environment: 9
Civil Liberties: 5-----Quit Program: 10


10 PRINT "Ron Paul Brain v.0.1"
20 INPUT "Press any key to continue" A$
30 INPUT "Which issue?" I$
40 IF I$=1 GOTO 80
50 IF I$=10 GOTO 100
60 PRINT "We need to eliminate all government agencies and end all regulation."
70 GOTO 20
80 PRINT "We need to get out of Iraq."
90 GOTO 20
100 PRINT "Goodbye"
110 END
