Paul can sound good. But does anyone think he can actully pull off the BS he says he wants to do??
Paul is a loose cannon. Maybe good in congress. But President, no thanks.


Paul has a fairly strong following that he’s developed over the years and they seemed to have rallied to his side this campaign. He’s didsplayed funding abilities and a loose knit organization that outshines many others including the 3rd parties, imo.

No I don’t think he’ll come anywhere near the nomination and he may have a fight on his hands in CD14 this time around. But he has enough funding to hang around for the duration even if it goes beyond Super Tuesday...

Paul has waxed stalwarts like Tancredo, Keyes, and Hunter all of whom he left in the dust sucking hind teat.

Paul has a libertarian appeal, especially since running as a Libertarian a couple decades ago. Paul also has gained some support from the anti war left who thinks the demoRats have not delivered on their promise of bringing the troops home.
My guess is that his money is mostly coming from the far left.
Hey I love the idea of abolishing the IRS. But I don’t think a complete overhaul of government is possible, just by stopping the funding. I see a picture of chaos,and the American people will be the ones who suffer because of the chaos.
I think Paul would be more inclined to launch a 3rd party candidacy. With his anti war stand, he would pull more left away from the demoRats than he would pulling away conservatives from the right. With the slim margins of the past few presidential elections, a Paul 3rd party candidacy would do more damage to the DemoRats in the final vote tally. At least that is what I envision. But who am I? And what do I know?
