The other candidates may giggle into their microphones whenever Paul speaks, but I bet they're all green with envy over the grassroots organization Paul has.

Yeah, they're working so hard, that in some polls, Paul can get a whole 4%. Of course, he drops back to 2% the next day, but. . .

The analogy to Hitler here is completely justified given Stormfront's support of Ron Paul.

I hate to tell you, but the Neo Nazis have never supported a liberal over a libertarian or conservative. That doesn't mean that the candidate was anything like them. They supported Bush over Gore and Kerry, yet Bush appointed the first Hispanic Attorney General, appointed the first two, black Secretaries of State, appointed the first black National Security Adviser, a black Secretary of Education, etc.

Back in the real world, last weeks Gallup. Note Paul's negatives, fully 50% of those who know who he is. Hillary country. He can thank his supporters for some of that.

If we would just finally, and openly, excommunicate Ron Paul the lefties might actually rally to him. And then we could finally start giving him money so he would have a successful anti-war, anti-GOP campaign and steal the real lefties from Hillary (whom they all know is really a sell-out).

If Ralph Nader isn’t going to have the balls to run, then we might have to push Ron Paul to run in the Green Party.

The DNC should be the party who is the most afraid of a viable third party since the anti-war movement is a party in itself now and the DNC is tripping over themselves to keep it within them own borders. But if Hillary is the annointed leader, they might determine that she just ain’t quite Bush/Iraq/Military/American hatin’ enough for them and demand that Kucinich/Paul run on the independent ticket.

Oh, by chance, to dream.....
