I wonder how many people here would now prefer Paul to McCain. At least on domestic policy, he certainly knows his stuff.

Ron Paul does know his stuff, but it is the stuff that Americans - up to this point - did not want to hear.
You see, we liked our lives the way they were and we didn't want to think or worry about the things that Ron Paul was telling us. Perhaps we'll listen now.

I’m thinking Paul will get my vote.

Thanks for the post.
The video is on YouTube already.

Ron Paul is a smart, decent, honorable representative. It was difficult to watch the not-so-smart, not-so-decent, not-so-honorable attack and demonize him during this election. Sad sad sad.

Not only do many not want to hear it, but most refuse to acknowledge that our monetary system problems caused the housing mess, not the other way around.

On domestic policy, I can’t imagine ANYONE would choose McCain over Paul. Immigration, abortion, free markets, drilling, balanced budget (and Paul is actually serious about it), sound monetary policy, etc.

I just wish Paul would put the country ahead of his ego right now. Obama & the Democrats are so fricking dangerous to the nation that I don't think Paul understands this threat just like he doesn't understand Islamic terrorism.
After the primaries (well, maybe after McCain chose Palin) Paul should have endorsed McCain and asked to be his economic adviser. He should have told his supporters to get behind McCain-Palin. I just see an aging Congressman who is completely both junking a wonderful legacy & a historic opportunity to restore the GOP back to their roots. If Paul would have been McCain's economic adviser and been visible on the campaign trail with him Obama wouldn't stand a chance.

At least on domestic policy, he certainly knows his stuff.No argument here. The international front, on the other hand, is a different story. I also question his ability to accomplish his goals.

Americans always want a happy ending. We always want to believe nothing truly bad will ever happen. We believe we’ll always be number 1 (which I sincerely hope, but highly doubt). And we always want to spend, so much so that we drive ourselves into enormous debt (federal, state, and personal).
Politicians keep playing into it to. What were we told to do after 9/11. Shop. It was good for the economy!

All the proof you need there is to see Peter Schiff go up against some of these economists on various news programs. They call him crazy, yet he’s always right.

Well look, after the primaries you gotta let go of that bitterness and get back to work defeating the real enemies in this country. I'll be the first to agree with you that the GOP/Fox News/conservatives bloggers basically treated Paul like crap.

You see, we liked our lives the way they were and we didn't want to think or worry about the things that Ron Paul was telling us. Perhaps we'll listen now. When people are in a Ponzi scheme, they just don't want to hear it. When it crashes on them, they don't tend to give the messenger credit for the warning they ignored.
But since we're all being taken along for the ride, we can only hope that the idiots start paying attention soon!

To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
Would McCain have accepted that?
Perhaps, with his dislike of earmarks, and his fiscal responsibility. But I don’t know that there aren’t a lot of debts for Sen. McCain to repay.
