People need to wake up to the fact that Ron Paul is a force for liberty that, for the first time since Reagan in GOP politics, has a young, collegiate following as well as an old one. The good news for big government GOP’ers is that he probably won’t run so that his son can in a few years
I’m surprised at the shallowness of the opinions expressed here. Gingrich gives good speeches and has interesting ideas (but in truth is a sell out)? Palin? What is in her head beyond the usual “moderate” political bromides (admittedly, we coul;d do worse)? Romney? Fortunately, no one is posting about his masterful record as Governor of MA.
Instead we have lots of FREEPERs taking pot shots at the only candidate who takes the Constitution seriously. No one else even comes close. If that means he isn’t a conservative, what is a conservative, and what are we conserving? The welfare/warfare state?
I agree that Paul is not likely to get the 2012 nomination, but he has been campaigning, not because he thinks he is going to occupy the Whitehut, but because he is building a movement that might help return the country to lawful government. For this he gets flamed?
Of course he didn’t spend the money Romney did. In fact, Palin probably has spent more money than he has.
He bought 800 tickets at $119 a ticket... that isn’t peanuts... and what is with all you calling him such a great conservative when he is one of the biggest porkers in congress.
