Fred Thompson is The CFR's Darlings, they do not want Ron Paul in, but we will fight, to make sure he does get in.

It will be nice to have some one besides a lawyer in office. I wonder , If Ron Paul wins will the lawyers fill a wrongful vote suit against the American people for electing a doctor instead of a lawyer and go for damages?

Will the ACLU go after Mr.Paul for pain and suffering damages?
