This was a set up. The media, Dems, Liberal Establishment and the GOP establishment were ALL in on it. No conservative was ever going to even make it to Super Tuesday. They would have gotten no media coverage, no party support. The primaries were open in early states and liberals love to interefere.

It was over before it started.

Next time will be the same was even less fair for us because they will do it in every state.

This experiment called the US has officially come to end.

The second worst is Mike Huckabee. Any of them, yes even Ron Paul would be better. Not that Paul is the answer, it’s just those two really are that bad.

They are all bad. None is better than the other because none are Conservative.

I'm in Texas. Our primaries are still a month away.

Ron Paul has been the last candidate on my mind for the entire primary season. Not to mention the year-long season before the primaries actually started.

I have extreme heartburn about his foreign policy stance. But they don't call the guy "Dr. NO" for nothing, in the US House. About 98% of the time, if he doesn't think something in a bill is authorized by the Constitution, he votes NO.

So I'm wondering, if he was President, would he just veto bills over and over and over as they came to him from Congress, if he thought anything in them was not authorized by the Constitution? Frankly, at this point in the election, and at this point in our history, four years of very hardcore gridlock would be somewhat appealing. The Congress would have to continually override his vetoes, if they wanted to keep the trillions of dollars of socialist crap funded. I wonder if they could?

As far as Paul's foreign policy, we wouldn't be in any wars that didn't have a formal declaration of war from the Congress - just like the Constitution says they should be authorized. And frankly, if we have another siginficant terror attack, and can't get most of the 535 members of Congress to declare war, this country may not be worth saving anyway.

John McCain is absolutely, without a doubt, the worst candidate running as a republican in this primary. The second worst is Mike Huckabee. Any of them, yes even Ron Paul would be better. Not that Paul is the answer, it’s just those two really are that bad.

Ron Paul for President!

This article is spot on. It’s heartbreaking and infuriating.
