The challengers might not have much of a chance this year, ut the word is getting out.

Ping!

“when it comes to pork-barrel spending.”

You mean like that 500 million you wanted for wild shrimp studies last year, Mr. Paul? HMMMMMMMM?

[big'ol_freeper]

Ron Paul is a nutjob

[Eaker]

a conservative poseur who doesn't walk the walk when it comes to pork-barrel spending.

Nobody can pack a bill with pork and then vote against it knowing it will pass anyway better than Paul!

[Deb]

Its a shame college kids don’t get smart till they leave college.

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Good. Send Ron Paul packing, and destroy the influence which his acolytes are hoping to have on the Tea Parties.

I hate to say it, folks, but in addition to taking the GOP back for conservatism, we may just have to take the Tea Parties back for conservatism, as well.

I saw that RP won the CPAC straw poll for president in 2012. I was really freaked out by that. I though CPAC was for normal people.

It is paramount he be defeated along with his son. We’ve already beaten Medina, so now we have two more to go.

Anyone who qualifies as a "cult figure" with college students is automatically moved to the "nut" category among adults.

Ron Paul is Ross Perot, on stilts.

While a glimmer of common sense seeps through in some of his rhetoric, he doesn't seem to be "all there" on an everyday, common sense sort of basis. He comes across as an eccentric nut, actually.

This also could be another instance of the leftwing, obambpress trying to pick "our" candidate for us, again...as they did with McCain't.

If we pick our qualified candidate, and show up in big numbers, obama is out; if they pick another loser for us, and half the conservatives stay home...as with last time...then we get obama for four more (maybe longer, maybe life)years.

The shortest book in the world is "Libertarians qualified to be President", and the libertarian vote totals in the last few elections should show what an ice cube's chance in hell he has.

Most college students still have a lot of growing up to do, and their vision of the world and politics will change once they start raising families and paying taxes...so to listen to 18-21 year olds is ludicrous.

Paul, 74, charges Wall, is a “career politician” who ignores the wishes of voters back home, a conservative poseur who doesn't walk the walk when it comes to pork-barrel spending.

Gay also says Paul is not sufficiently involved in the district.

“He's not ... not addressing the concerns of the people of the district,” Gay said.

Fair enough, but how exactly would Gay better address the concerns of the people in that district?

[DakotaRed]

"Paul is actually very encouraged by the anti-incumbent sentiment out there right now."

Has anybody informed the lunatic Paul that he IS the incumbent?

[mnehring]

Ron Paul should follow his own advice and run as a Libertarian or Independent.

The strongest message can be sent by rejecting the two party system. This can be accomplished by voting for one of the non-establishment, principled candidates.- Ron Paul

I always wonder why he doesn't follow his own advice to voters and just become one of these 'non-establishment' candidates. (by the way, the non-establishment candidates he was recommending people vote for were Cynthia McKinney, Ralph Nader, or Chuck Baldwin). I think everyone should take Ron's advice and vote for one of the non-establishment candidates, in other words, not Ron Paul.

[Puddleglum]

same song, millionth verse. Aint gonna happen.

[Grunthor]

“Paul, 74, charges Wall, is a “career politician”

How long has Paul been in office?
