By your post, ElkGroveDan, I guess you’re not a Ron Paul fan. Then tell me what is so attractive about the guy you’re supporting right now.

Actually I didn't have much of an opinion of Ron Paul at all until his supporters started spamming Internet polls and sending out triumphant press releases as though electronic web stunts somehow translates into real support -- which is not showing up anywhere else.

I don't have a candidate yet, it's still too early. But I have crossed Rudy McRomney off my list.

[George W. Bush]

Publius, I'm not up to your level of scholarship on the era.

Ron Paul has indicated that his intent is a firm move back to constitutional government, not some revolution. Keep in mind, he'd certainly be facing both Dims and the GOP in Congress, all of whom want their pork, their defense plants (especially in their districts), their dams and Bridges To Nowhere.

I think Ron had better have a large large supply of veto pens.

And without forty Republicans in the Senate or a conservative GOP majority in the House, they'd just run over him. But an RP presidency would almost certainly have a few coattails. Any potential congressional GOP candidates can watch his campaign and how it grows over the year, deciding what themes to adopt, etc. And 2008 will not be a year for our first-rate freshman candidates. Due to the risks, they'll wait until 2010 unless the Dims pull something really boneheaded because they will not risk defeat in their first national election.

[George W. Bush]

I hope Paul isn’t another one of these Drugs and Whores Libertarians....

No, not like the Libertarian Party is. Still he is libertarian and the Constitution does not grant the Congress authority for many things we currently do. Unlike the LP, RP is 100% pro-life. He's 100% close-borders. And so on.

This is “pay for it and we will send it out” website. It’s a Press Release. or blast email, not a news report.

But go ahead and kid yourselves. It will be that much funnier when reality smacks you in the face.

Paul is a flake, but he has a tremendous amount of support on the gun forums such as thefiringline.com and thehighroad.org.

Fred Thompson seems to be the only other “candidate” that people like on those boards. Duncan Hunter should be getting support based on his excellent NRA rating and military background, but he doesn’t seem to be. Guess I need to start talking up Hunter over there.

[MNJohnnie]

Curious. If Paul’s camp is so web savvy, why do none of the links in their press release lead to working websites?

Could it be because the Paulite propaganda is not matched to any real data?

I love story about E.T. killing Atari.

Oh, come on! Can't you Dreary Dans tolerate a single moment of fun? It's 7-8 months or more until you can actually vote for anything. And remember what you actually got the last two times you voted GOP for president. Not so good lately for us with El Presidente.

You know, originally FR got famous for spamming all those polls and making the drive-by media crazy with our shenanigans.

It's way too early to be so serious. Enjoy the campaigns, see who else enters the race (run Fred!), windowshop for candidates.

[Allegra]

Take Paul’s war position out of the equation...

Uh....the war position is a very vital one.

[George W. Bush]

Ron Paul is top-rated with Gunowners Of American too. And Giuiliani, McStain and Romney are Public Enemy #1, #2, #3 (in no particular order).

Ron Paul has been top-rated with RKBA for over a decade. Same thing with the groups like Taxpayers Union. No one else can match that record.

But Fred can pick up the gunfolk and the small-government conservatives if he works at it.

More like twenty thousand cultists handling fifty aliases each.

Spamola...

And a waste of electrons.

Not obviously so judging by the results of the 2006 election.

You guys got to get out of denial over this. I'm not saying it's completely unimportant but people who run around acting as though it is the single factor in the GOP choosing a candidate are just wrong.

We need a broadly acceptable candidate with a decent track record to unite the Party Of Reagan. Oh, yeah, and that person cannot be named Juan McCain or Rudi Ghouliani.

[Petronski]

Take Paul’s war position out of the equation...

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, did you enjoy the play?

[JohnLongIsland]

when your stance on iraq is the same as dennis kucinich’s it automatically throws you out of the equation, no matter what your views are on everything else.

[John D]

But this large surge we’re seeing now is in the under-thirties who think RP’s utter squareness is almost hip. He’s also drawing Greens and Hitlery-haters among the Dims, also mostly from those under-thirties.

His support is comming from the blame America first, white flag wavers who think Hillary would be too tough on the terrorists crowd.

[BlackJack]

What was that?
LOL

[jrooney]

"His support is coming from the blame America first, white flag wavers who think Hillary would be too tough on the terrorists crowd."

When Ron Paul makes Hillary look like Davey Crockett at the Alamo with fighting the WOT, something is seriously wrong with the man, his views and his candidacy.

Okay, you made me laugh that time. I think you know Ron Paul actually represents a large number of single-issues voting blocs that no one pays attention to. But, being Dr. No, he is their favorite, often on issues that the major parties never campaign on.

“Take Paul’s war position out of the equation...

LOL! Thats brilliant.
