Of course, it would have been deadly serious had your candidate won the poll. The sore losers are out in force!

We all know how well the CPAC poll turned out last time, don't we?

RE: No 80 year old presidents please. The idea of McCain doddering around was bad enouigh.


Well if your issue is age, there’s another Mr. Paul waiting on the wings and he’s only 47. He’s a senator too.

We've already had the Ron Paul foreign policy under Jimmy Carter...It gave us American hostages at our Embassy and the Ayatollah Khomeini.

The Muslim Brotherhood would give the largest allowable donation to a Paul for President campaign...He would allow them to caliphate unimpeded all over the Middle East without worrying about pesky drones flying overhead.

CPAC is now FUDGEPAC as far as I am concerned. And they can go pack fudge for all I care about them.

Ron is right about some things and dreadfully wrong about others. While I agree with him about not getting into foreign entanglements and paying dictators via the UN and foreign aid bribes, we can’t exit the world in the way he wants to. And I will never side with people who think we deserved to get hit on 9-11.

Paul supporters don't realize he voted to put us in an unending war.

Iraq will be a distant memory and we will still be chasing "against those responsible for the recent attacks launched against the United States " for decades to come.

It turned out badly because everyone ignored it and instead nominated McLame.

Paul voted for an undeclared war.

A very nebulous one .

His presidential ambitions are a running joke, seeing as he got about 2% of the primary vote in 2008

Go Stassen Paul! Let's hear a big "Dean Scream" shout-out for Harold Ron!

Maybe Ron could pick up a couple of more votes if he added Dennis "Cousin Itch" Kucinich to his ticket, in the name of bipartisanship looniness.

In the meantime the USA we are broke sending jobs and troops to bail out the world. Now we are down to two friends, England and Israel. The part of Paul that makes the most sense is foreign policy examination before our financial collapse. When we have money for the rest of the world and not for American citizens, we need to adjust priorities.

Sarah Palin was wise to avoid this fiasco.

Speaking of "fighting Jags"...

THIS 1988 JAGUAR "JAG-AM" WAS CUSTOM BUILT FOR THE UNIVERSAL PICTURES MOVIE "DEATH RACE" (2008).

“Well if your issue is age, there’s another Mr. Paul waiting on the wings and he’s only 47. He’s a senator too.”

I’d like it better if he was a governor, but you can’t have everything. I like Rand, and I’m waiting for him to season and flesh out his positions. I hope he has a bright future in service to our country.
