He is now a "contendah"! He's got as much money as McCain and apparently has a lot of supporters out there.

Paul can now actually campaign in states and run commercials.

It's kind of hard to break the 3% barrier when you don't actually have a campaign.

Contendah for the nut house. Dr. Demento can share a room with Crazy Johnnie.

If he sticks to fiscal matters he could have a positive impact on the GOP primaries.

Paul has some interesting supporters. A gay friend of mine supports him. Interestingly enough Paul seems to be picking up some otherwise Demokook voters. The word is Charlie Sheen is considering supporting him. lol

Looks like Bin Laden is placing his oil money on Paul.

How special!

Now if he triples his support he might break the margin of error in a professional poll.

Ya think he could be a spoiler to the Dems if he goes third party? (No way the GOP is going to nominate someone who just fundamentally does not grok the Islamist-terrorist connection.)

Sure, scoff at perhaps $4 or $5 million that Ron Paul is said to have raised, admittedly hard to tell because the numbers keep changing.

wouldn’t worry about it too much, the lefties Trojan Horse contributions will dry up once they figure out no one is buying their scam.

Great news! It would be wonderful to have a person who believes in limited government, the Constitution and liberty as POTUS.

It can only benefit the political discourse to have Ron Paul participate in the discussion. He sure polls well among freepers. Heh, heh. Republican elites have silenced him long enough. It’s sad the number of Republicans, acting like liberals, wanting to shut him out of the debates. What are they afraid of? He’s got more conservative bona fides than nearlydeadFred, to say the least.

A few weeks ago, I engaged in a colloquy with NCSteve, a supporter of Dr. Paul, and I posed certain questions to him. I’d like to pose the same questions to you to get a better idea of where Dr. Paul is coming from. Up to now, I have concluded that Dr. Paul’s ideal is to return to the America that existed before the Civil War -- minus slavery, of course.

The America we lost was defined by a Constitution written for a republic of farmers. But long before the Civil War, the nation had industrialized, and most of its basic concepts had changed, thanks to the work of Webster and Clay. We are the America that Hamilton created, not the one that Jefferson wanted to preserve. If I understand what a Paul administration would look like, we could expect the following:

I find this very seductive. But although the US has shipped its manufacturing capabilities abroad to the Third World and we now make our money moving piles of electronic currency around, I can't see us returning to what we had before the Civil War, much as I would like it. The changes sought by Hamilton and wrought by Webster, Clay and Lincoln are irreversible. So I’d like to pose some questions in line with my previous points:

As one who has specialized in our history after the Revolution and before the Civil War, I'd love to see a return to those less complicated days of Monroe and Jackson, but it's not something that is going to happen on its own. And I fear the events that could force it to happen.

These questions have bedeviled me for a long time. Returning to original intent sounds like a great idea, and it's certainly the purest definition of conservatism. But how do you get there from here, and how do you lead the American people to change their collective -- and "collective" is the right word! -- mindset?

I wonder how much this money has come from the Soros minions.

His only problem is that advertising his positions will make many Republicans less likely to vote for him.
