Looks like the OMB (occupy mom’s basement) crowd is getting spunky again.
Lay off the sugar and pot kids...
Better him than his old man... and I do mean old.
Whoops.. I was thinking Rand, not Ron. Sorry! Strike that.
Dr Paul is the only choice both 2008 and 2012!
Are there sufficient real Americans (vice AINOs) who will vote for him whether or not they they think he will win?
Not likely!
Not This Marine!
For the majority...the football mentality prevails in all things...
Do the right thing regardless of outcome.
Semper Watching!
When you come upon a crackpot ranting on a city street corner there are two common reactions; cross the street so you don’t even get near the kook or walk briskly by and make no eye contact. Paul is as unelectable as his Democrat crackpot buddy Kuchinich.
If he is surging, probably mostly because he sticks with his message - does pay off in the long run.
Folks do get tired of hopping from one who flip flops to one who has baggage to one who (name condition)...etc...on top of getting jerked by the media.
If there is one thing different this time around that really stands out:
The video ads. Whoever he brought on board to make those ads really knows what the hell they’re doing. Those ads, especially the last 3 have been very very effective.
I wonder who that the person is...
=8-)
Other than RP and Bachmann - the rest are not trustworthy.
Are you kidding me? He is on every nightly news cast, in every paper, on every radio news broadcast........with the constant refrain "nobody gives me a chance". Really the man never shuts up.
OTOH, I think he is senile.
What does it say about the state of our society if an obviously senile old man becoming president is within the realm of possibility?
Paul and all his 911 truther buddies can go straight to hell.
I wouldn't be so kind.
I really like Ron Paul’s positions on domestic issues but he seems hopelessly naive in the area of foreign policy. I can accept his argument that we cannot afford all of these foreign wars. That’s fair. But, unfortunately, he goes beyond that to argue that, for example, Iran really represents no real threat to the U.S. I don’t believe that.
So I think it is his foreign views that ultimately dooms a Ron Paul candidacy for president. OTOH, he could win in Iowa and that would certainly mix things up. It would hurt Newt some. It would simply kill Bachmann and Santorum. It would be a bit of a blow to Romney.
Why do I think he could win: Organization and the absolute fanatical support he has from his followers. I think that will cut some points off the polling lead that Gingrich is currently holding. 25% for Newt to 18% for Ron Paul is not enough of a margin to guarantee a Gingrich victory, once again IMHO.
We will know the answer soon.
I would say that the pervert Paul is not trustworthy. How else do you explain his vote to force homosexuality on our troops in the military. Many had already suspected him to be anti-military and then he goes and proves them right. There is nothing traditional, conservative or Constitutional about his position on this issue. Tie that in with the many other positions of his that seem downright in line with the anti-American group Code Pink and there is no way that you can trust the pervert Paul. Paul seems to prefer defending our enemies more so then America’s allies.
RE: OTOH, I think he is senile.
If this is true, then he’s been senile for over 30 years. If there is anything to Ron Paul’s message, it is CONSISTENCY ( right or wrong ).
vacillating up and down in the polls is not surging... when someone drops out, more voters for the rest... surging would be like moving up, challenging second place then first place. Ain’t-a-gunn-a-happen, see it and weep...
hhhhmmmm - who else but paul and perry actually served in the military?
So that gives him a pass to vote for policy that is destructive to our military and that violates the rights of every man and woman serving? Seems as if you are so into Paul that you will even defend Ron Paul’s position that are perverse.
I like him better than Romney and Newt. Thats for sure.
Paul trust worthy on what? The defense of the USA - nope
Paul trusty worthy on blaming the USA for 9/11 - nope
Paul trust worthy on alliances with alias - nope
Paul trust worthy on making excuses for the worlds terrorists - nope
Paul trust worthy on promoting a PC military - nope
What again is he trust worthy on?
