****For all intents and purposes, this cycle’s Ross Perot is Ron Paul. Just another quixotic Texan who could end up putting a Clinton in office.****

You Ron Paul haters miss the meat of the article. No present “front runner for the GOP” has a chance of beating Hillary.

70% of the country is against the war and will tend to vote for the most anti-war candidate.

None of the present GOP front runners excite the GOP base.

None of the present GOP front runners can draw from the Democratic base.

The article is correct, the only GOP candidate that has a chance of beating Hillary is Ron Paul. He will draw from the anti-war base of the democrats and he will draw from the organized labor base of the Democrats.

Without Ron Paul heading the ticket, the defeat for the Republicans could be of the epic proportions of the defeat in 1972. Democrats will have a veto proof control of the House and the Senate. Couple that will Hillary in the White House, we would be in big trouble, as a country.

Ron Paul haters...

Ok, well, whatever you want to call us.

But as to the point of the article, no one missed it, we don't remotely come close to buying it. Big difference.

The source is questionable in purpose and the premise is past believability. Ron Paul would not even come close to Hillary, and he would be little better, and in fact perhaps worse on the main topic of the day. We have a couple of front runners who can take her, including one I would have to shower for a week if I had to vote for. Thanks for the concern though.

I’m not a Ron Paul hater - I like him. I’m glad he’s principled and raising some these issues.

I could never support him the primaries because of his ideas on defense and the economy.

If he or somebody I find unacceptable in the primaries gets the nomination then I deal with that when it happens - but I certainly not gonna do anything to try to make it happen.

As to Hillary... a lot can happen. She has really high negatives and lacks her husband’s charisma. We’ll see - the primaries have not even begun so its way too earlier to talk giving up or even settling.

70% of the country is against the war and will tend to vote for the most anti-war candidate.

Yet, in the very same poll, 54% of the respondents approved of the way the President was handling the Iraq war and only 22% approved of how the Congress was handling it.

Do you believe and act on everything you read in the MSM?

Understand they are trying to convince you that no Republican candidate has a chance. That's what they want you think, when it isn't true, at all. Understand that they want you to vote for Ron Paul -- because it helps them.

Don't fall prey to their propaganda.
