Who is this guy?

I like him but he probably doesn’t have much of a chance.

Yup, no $$ = no TV = no way to reach Fat Lazy Joe Blow American

Wouldn't that be great.  Anything, that would be a change form the status quo. 

Warning!!! I am registered as a libertarian.

What do you think of this guy???[/quote]

I think he's a loon. Between breing the only member of Congress to vote against giving Rosa Parks a medal and praising the "the Federal income tax is illegal" types, he strikes me as a great example of the fringe element.

The loons are the ones driving this country into the ground, that you probably vote for.  Name one thing Ron Paul has said that you disagree with?

Me, too!

Have we reached the point where freedom is FRINGE?

You mean other than being the only member of Congress to vote against giving Rosa Parks a Congressional medal, praising the "the federal tax is illegal" tax-resisting crowd? Not enough for you?

OK, how about using the list the CIA gave the 9/11 Commission as reasons UBL says he conducts Jihad (sans the reestablish the Caliphate entry) as if it were a rational grievance list, that if only we followed, there’d be peace in the world?

How about Paul going on wack-job radio shows like holocaust denier/9/11 was an inside job  Alex Job’s where he alluded to a conspiracy to hide “the truth” about 9/11?

Need more?

If you go here you can see an interview with Ron Paul. I agree with Mikebutler222, he seems like a reasonable guy until he starts going Libertarian.

Worse things could happen than his election, but he's so outside the stream (the mainstream is a glimmer on the horizon) he's paddling a canoe on dry land. Neither side would help him with his agenda and he'd be gone in 4.

MikeButler is an intellectual midget.  Rather than discuss the merits of Paul’s argument against the war in Iraq or the size and scope of the Federal government, he brings up Rosa Parks getting a medal.  What an O’Reilly Factor-Tshirt wearing nitwit.

Actually "Pwns" (what are you, 17?) I did address Paul's comments on <?:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Iraq. That would be the part where I mentioned how he took bin Laden's "why I Jihad" list the CIA put together and used it as if it was a rational, reasonable grievance list.<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Had you read the question posed to me, you’d know that I was asked what Pual had said that led me to believe he’s a fringe character. I mentioned him being the only Congressman to vote against the honor for Rosa Parks, among other things, like Paul’s bizarre appearance and comments on the Alex Jones radio show.

I would suggest you hold the “O’Reilly” comments until you know whether or not the person you’re addressing is a fan of the guy or not. As for me, I’m in the “not” category.

Now, isn’t there a videogame somewhere calling your name?

Sorry, but Paul is a lightweight has he does not have the resume necessary to take the US forward.

This is going to be a showdown between Mitt Romney and Hillary Clinton when all is said and done.

Mitt makes me vomit.

What makes him lightweight?  He'd run circles around either Clinton or Romney in a debate.  The reason you think he's a lightweight is a)You haven't heard him talk b)You only like candidates the media likes c)you're a lightweight.

As for resumes, 10 terms in Congress and before that a Doctor.  Better than anyone in the field.

Just face it, you'll only support candidates the mainstream media allows you to support.  Get back to that headset and cubicle, private.

BTW, I have been following the race since 18 months back while still residing in Europe. When I told several of my Swedish colleagues that Mitt Romney was going to make a run at the presidency they all said who? and When I explained to them who he was, they laughed at me. They said he would never get any exposure. They said nobody would take him seriously.

Now they call me often bewildered that he has as much traction as he has. Why? Same reason Reagan had traction. He has been open and honest about his past, and speaks in concrete terms vs platitudes. He also uses his own wealth to fund advertizing which someone like Paul would and could never do. Why? Because he has been living off the fat of the political forum for 10 terms. Another reason why Governors tend to get elected. They are proven executives.

Please spare the Paul superiority. You are as bad as those who spend days erasing their cookies so they can revote in online polls just so they can make it appear that Paul is more popular than he really is.

Yeah I think Mitt's a joke too.  The guy flip flops so much and changes his position you don't know where he stands.  But here's the thing.   The media likes him, and a lot of people only support candidates the media puts on their plate.  They are incapable of thinking for themselves.  Sad.

DJ Ross, I'm sorry your parents money ran out and you had to leave the European bathhouses to come home.  Seems like you're very attracted to Romney, but other than the fact that you said you think he's hot, is there anything intelligent you can say for supporting him?

Edward when your IQ reaches 50, SELL!


I am married and have five children you punk. I don’t live off of my parents, however since that is what came into your mind, maybe we are understanding a bit more about you.

Regarding Mitt, he does not Flip Flop. Of course if your only information comes from MSM that it is understandable that you actually believe that.

Do some DD before you open your mouth. The only issue where Romney has changed course on was Abortion. And that would technically be considered a Flip or a Flop, but not both. Flip Flop infers that you claim one view only to change your mind and than again revert back to your original view.

Romney said that he was wrong. He said it on National Television.

Don’t you have a Quake or Half Life party to go to, given your juvenile bent?

Mormons scare me.  Did you know that the book of mormon was translated from golden tablets found under a tree in New York?  Joe Smith had to use "magical spectacles" to translate the ancient egyptian text.

If you're not a mormon, you're a gentile.  They don't like gentiles.

Thompson FTW

agreed. I predict Hillary vs. Thompson, Thompson wins.

Thompson won’t survive scrutiny. Why do you think he has delayed 3 times his official announcement. He is trying very hard to slide into the race, but the scrutiny is already hitting his "campaign"

For all the flip flop criticism that was thrown at Mitt early on, Thompson is going to get it even worse. Reason? He is a moderate and the GOP once the Hollywood effect of his running wears off, will begin poking holes into his character and platform.

Thompson hasn't announced yet because he doesn't need to. He already leads in the many polls on the GOP side. The historical "jumping in" to the race has been in September.  Just because we now have a 24/7 all the time campaign, doesn't mean that he needs to do it.

The fact that the MSM is so anxious to dig up dirt on someone who hasn't officially announced is indicative of the fear that they have of him as a candidate against the one's they are so masterfully grooming for us to choose.  The dirt that they are trying to sling is nothing that anyone is taking seriously

Why do you think that the GOP would poke holes in Thompson's campaign because he is a moderate. You do realize that the majority of the GOP and the voters of this country are moderates?  Do you have the idea that all GOP voters are anti abortion, foaming, evangelicals?    Mostly if you dig into the "values" of the rank and file GOP you find a libertarian, fiscal conservative, moderate social policy type of person.  Just like the Dems the Repubs also have their fringe wackjobs.  No one pays attention to them.  

The smart candidates play to the middle ground, because we want to win.
