To: George W. Bush

I like Paul, I’d vote for him if I got the chance...but Juggernaut? Let’s get real. The only candidates who’ll ever even get a whiff of the general election have already been bought and paid for by The Powers That Be.

$4.2M in one day and an army of 60,000 well-connected supporters really can't be ignored in a year wher both parties are looking at their candidates and holding their noses. Especially if the guy raising so much money and with such a groundswell of young people supporting him was someone the libmedia and D.C. political establishment has written off as an also-ran.

Sorry to disagree with you. But it's a Juggernaut all right.

We might very well start to see some endorsements and congressmen and senators moving toward RP's positions. They don't really like him. But they are very political creatures and they see the money and the support and are facing election in a year where the Dims will run against Bush in many states and congressional districts. Many of them have quietly planned to shift to a withdrawal policy in Iraq after their primary to run for the general. But Ron Paul's performance will likely encourage some of them to switch sooner.

Not sure I could vote for him as POTUS. I REALLY don't like his stance on the WoT. It's a pretty big issue, even if I agree with almost everything else Paul has on his platform.

The WoT is retaliatory. We did nothing to provoke it and yes I've heard a thousand arguments as to why we suck. None of it holds up to scrutiny. Either people like Paul figure out that the war must be fought "over there", or it WILL be fought on our streets and in our Cities. Either way, it will be fought.

I'd rather blow "their" sh*t up rather than having to fight them in downtown Anoka, MN or in Johnsonville, TX.

Duncan is my next choice followed up by Fred. There are no other options for me.

Rudy, Willard, and John are not viable options. And no, I don't give a fart about how "electable" they look to the MSM.

Yea, but I won’t be supporting the gov’t chosen by the “Unseen Hand” if that’s the case!
