On Sunday’s broadcast of NPR’s “All Things Considered,” 2008 Republican presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul, a libertarian favorite, addressed his 2012 prospects. He told NPR’s Guy Raz that a presidential run is still a possibility.
“Well, it’s possible and I haven’t ruled it out, so I’ll probably be deciding at the beginning of the year,” Paul said. “And people ask me if I think about it a lot and I do because a lot of people ask me about it.”
Dating back to 2007, the Texas congressman has garnered a lot of support from a devoted following. Paul explained it is his ideas that have earned him his reputation.
“Sometimes I am very surprised about it because I have been doing the same thing for a good many years and I have frequently said I have never expected to get hardly any attention,” he said. “And I always assumed that my role would be to try to set a record and say what I thought was right and how I took my oath of office seriously, and how I understood sound economics, and maybe somebody would look at it. So I was surprised in the last two years that people have gotten interested. And I think it is the views. I think ideas are the most important and its one of these things ideas of whose time has come.”

Sure. How about just no Homos in the military tell or not.
A McRomneybot?
“The Kooks are being proven absolutely correct every day.”
This is a false statement. A kook is just that, a kook. Or part of his ideas as in the case of Ron Paul. Although he is very good in most areas, he is absolutely dangerous and insane in others like national defense, social beliefs and anarchist leanings regarding morals. No, the man is dangerous and a kook for those reasons alone. Screw that idiot.
I think he likes attention as much as Schumer.

True. After the McCain debacle let us have no more old men as our GOP candidate. I think anyone who wants to run should but I’m not voting for any Doles or McCains ever again. It’s too much of a handicap.
I like Ron Paul on some issues. Not so much on other issues.
