I will vote for Paul in the primary...but I live in one of those doesn’t really matter it’s all blue states. Hopefully it’ll send a small Libertarian message to the status quo. I don’t know why people get all in a fluster over Paul...I don’t happen to agree with him on the war...but on every other issue he suits me juuuuusssst fine.******

Actually, I think Ron Paul is the only republican candidate that has a change of turning a blue state red. If his ideas become known, he will pull from the anti-war and labor bases in the democratic party. Given that Hillary will be the nominee, that could be enough.

The Paul detractors are emotional,aren't they.The don't wish to see the vote of the sorry GOP get split.What I find amusing is that they say "He's irrelevant,fringe kook,etc.,and then go out of their way to come to the Paul threads to spew their bile.They do protest too much.

But he is not a Republican. If he does run as a third party candidate it will help the Republican candidate. He will pull many anti-American cowards votes from the democrat candidate. He will not hurt the Republicans at all. No Republican would vote for a blame America first anti-American.

Actually, Ron Paul is probably the only candidate that could turn a solid red state blue. And a blue state even more blue.

Is that the lie you tell to get people to support Paul? I hope it hasn’t worked, only a fool would believe it.

Paul’s whacked out views on the war basically justifies democrats in opposing the war and their weak-at-the-knees policies on terrorism would automatically be a dead-issue, and his “get rid of everything that the founders didn’t mention in the constitution” views on pretty much everything isn’t supported by, well, anyone except his libertarian posse and the conspiracy kooks who are afraid the NWO will invade their trailers.

Having 2 bush-bashers, 1 a democrat and 1 a libertarian, in 2008 does NOTHING BUT HARM for the GOP or conservatives. Stop trying to sabotage Republicans with that nonsense.

I’m a pragmatic voting Libertarian....I know that he will not get the nomination. But I hope he gets a decent percentage of the vote, so that his ideas have a platform for discussion. That said, I’ll vote for whomever the nominee is.
