Why must the Republican Party nominate a 72-year-old grandfather from the Gulf Coast of Texas, until the past few months little known outside his district, as its 2008 standard-bearer? Very simple: the alternative is eight years of President Hillary Clinton. That ought to be enough to get the attention of every conservative who happens upon these words, so let me explain.
It should come as no big revelation to anyone inside or outside of the Republican Party that the GOP has lost touch with its conservative roots. Massive deficit spending that would make Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter blush; foreign adventurism beyond the wildest dreams of Woodrow Wilson or Teddy Roosevelt; more big government programs than FDR or LBJ (Google Medicare expansion for a massive example) ... the Republican Party of the early 21st century is clearly not your fathers or grandfathers GOP.
There are no more Robert Tafts, no more Barry Goldwaters, not even any more Ronald Reagans (as imperfect as he turned out to be after reaching the White House) ... except one: Ron Paul. Dr. Paul (an OB/GYN who has delivered more than 4,000 babies) is the last, best hope for the GOP to reclaim its once-upon-a-time status as the party of limited government.

We must nominate Ron Paul so that Hillary can win in a landslide.
Well,,,, if the Republican Party is determined to lose, this would be the perfect thing to do!
Of course.
Nominating Ron Paul would make the Troofers very happy, and we all know how well-grounded and important they are.
To complete their death wish?
If the GOP did nominate him, I’d leave the party after 30+ years.

Because Hillary won’t let the Dems nominate him.
To quote Hamlet: Words, words, mere words, no matter from the heart
Sheesh.... Not this Sh!t again
Repeat after me Rue Run Paul is a moron. His following makes him look like a genius.
1. Slim
2. None
I wouldn't even wait that long :)
L.Ron is one of the two GOP candidates who, if he won the nomination, I would not vote for in the general election.
There may be a time for a Ron Paul type as president someday. However, that time isn’t now.
