    You do realize that of COURSE the very guy who's not running(left the campaign trail... I don't know when) and has never won the presidency and might never win, is the one who's most of the time right? I decided a long time ago that Ron Paul is awsome and the US is too stupid to realize it. They'd rather have a battle between an old has-been and a random black guy who says basically, "vote for me, I'll give you money."

    Ron is a freaking doctor! He's smart and responsible and actually has a conscience.

    Thing is... American politics don't run on that kind of platform.

    Yes, it runs on the, "Who's the best talker? and Who's offering me the most money? and Who's going to feed my delusions?" platform.

    Lol neophyte, but I still like Ron. I'm just an ol' sukcer when it comes to people who want to actually follow the constitution and who still believes people can take care of themselves.

    I used to be a real Paulite because of his strong strong anti-war stance. But now I'm pro Iraq-war, so...

    And the civil liberties thing, of course. But I'm no libertarian by any means, and so there's really no reason for me to be kind to the bloke anymore lol...

    Ron Paul has a much longer-term view of things then most politicians.

    Usually when you are right about these sorts of things you are labeled a conspiracy nut and marginalized. When you are finally right, people tend to forget that you told them so.

    There is no doubt he effectively plays the role of "truth-teller", especially within the republican party, but that doesn't make him any less wrong. Voters discount him because his positions are wrong and extremely ideological, not solely because of party socialization and loyalty.

    But then again I'm a centrist, so I can't be expected to be his No. 1 fan.

    I don't discount his comments on NAFTA radicalism, or his criticisms of Republican policy, but it his solutions which I, and many others, take issue with.

    We're not all sheep, most that know who Ron Paul is even do not want to vote for the man. His views are the minority for good reason, not only because of democratic principle (which doesn't hold much water with me) but because of policy criticisms. There is good reason to believe the policies he would implement would be disastrous (fiscal policy, monetary policy, environmental policy, foreign policy).

    . . . moving on back to ron paul.

    obviously there needs to be a move back towards less government in the market place. i've said this many times in many threads. u can only keep piling on the government so much.

    however, i hope to God ron paul isn't the one who ever has to help us do it.

    It's just sad that Ron Paul seems to be the only guy that really talks about this in the political arena.

    I loves Ron Paul. I have no idea what he's saying but it just sounds so soothing.

    He's a good guy. But his stance is sorta split between the two main parties and doesn't get many votes.

    He had a million votes in the primaries. So if all one million Paul voters go to a small state they could end up controlling the entire State Government. (i.e Montana etc.)

    Ron Paul actually endorced Chuck Baldwin for President (independent, constitutional party).

    if I was a US citizen, I'd vote for Baldwin. it is a biggest no brainer in the world.

    Throw away all your newspapers!

    hence why I am. Unless he's not on the ballot which I haven't bothered to check but whatever, I'll just vote for Barr then.
