Ron Paul Can't Be Allowed To Win Iowa

He'll be a one-trick pony. Big deal.

[trebb]

Paul winning Iowa is akin to Obama winning a town in the Mississippi Delta - inconsequential as he hasn’t a chance in the State.

[MestaMachine]

Bull. He uses the Constitution just like the muslims use it against us. He is the pork king of congress. Liar, fraud.

How many "conservative" Republican candidates agree with Clarence Thomas on the abuse of the Commerce Clause by Congress?

"I would not assume any candidate could defeat Obama in 2012."

That is an extremely weird statement. How can you not think Obama is a one-term President?

I (and others) have said Elmer Fudd could beat Obama.

The only hope he has of being close is his huge campaign money, and that doesn't guarantee a win.

***His twisted ego also raises the possibility of a third-party run. If Trump does the same, it could really hurt the GOP presidential nominee. Obabaloney is undoubtedly is licking his chops over this scenario.***

I say, me lass, I think ye have hit the nail squarely on the haid! . . . or, as JarJar Binks might put it: My give it up. Meesa 'spect yousa Bombas right! ;-)

How ridiculous for Paul to say he had no knowledge of what was in his own newsletters - with HIS name on it. This makes the Clintooon seem almost truthful! Add to that his charging Bachmann and Santorum with anti-homo, anti-Muslim hatred is worse than tawdry.

But Ron Paul's biggest problem is that HE IS TOO OLD!!! Everyone seems to overlook this handicap.

I'm not going to assume that we have an honest election.

Heck, at this point I wouldn't assume that we even have an election.

[null and void]

On a scale of 1-10, definitely above seven.

Oh but I do. I think he wants to be a one term president, el presidente for life.

Damnable windoze keyboard...

“Nuclear Iran” falls into foreign policy, which I already mentioned. Some of the other stuff you mentioned has to do with federalism vs. centralized power, not so much conscious policy positions.

There are certainly some kooks who like Ron Paul for those reasons. I was just pointing out that there are a lot of issues where the left is diametrically opposed to Ron Paul.

"Heck, at this point I wouldn't assume that we even have an election."

Don't put that idea past the dems. They would love nothing more than to have "Dear Leader" suspend elections "for the children".

[B Knotts]

For a lot of reasons, it's hard to beat an incumbent.

That said, Obama is probably the most beatable incumbent Democrat since Jimmy Carter, who he resembles politically.

"Would counting those votes have really changed anything or just made you feel better?"

Hard to say, but I get nervous when the rules are ignored.

[MestaMachine]

I haven’t picked a candidate yet. I seriously don’t agree with all of them about one thing or another. Off the top, I think Perry agrees with Thomas. The others, Santorum talks the talk, but hasn’t always walked the walk; Bachmann also agrees until it comes to her own pet views; Gingrich, ya ha; mitt, foregone, begone! The rest aren’t there. Invisible candidates.
That doesn’t make paul any less a liar and a fraud, though, does it?

[rhombus]

I’d agree if there was a rule it shouldn’t have been ignored.

[Theodore R.]

Should Rep. Ron Paul, who first ran for president in 1988, win Iowa, it may be the last time the state has the honor of being the first state to hold a vote every four years.

Were that to happen, it would be worth a Paul win, but I'm for Santorum.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Behold, Amoral human waste from both sides of the aisle, in my opinion!

[donozark]

RIGHT YOU ARE! I posted this on another thread but only yesterday...Ron Paul if/when elected will be 77 on his Inauguration Day. Ronald Reagan was 69 when he was Inaugurated. Bob Dole was deemed too old to be President back in 1996 he would have been 73 on Inauguration Day.

Folks, it ain't gonna happen! America will simply not elect a 77 year old man to be President! Ron Paul can of course be a spoiler...

[rdb3]

I like what Ron Paul says but I am not sure what his stand is on Israel. Would he protect Israel from being destroyed by her enemies if it came down to it?

No, he would not.

25 years ago, we had Ronald Reagan, Johnny Cash, and Bob Hope.
Today we have Obama, no cash, and no hope!

If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.

Or you can get raw with these strings.

How about this gamechanger from America's Got Talent (which they SHOULD have won).

Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.

Do it!
