Who is Ron Paul?

If ron paul made it to the election... even if he lost.. it would still be worth it.. if he came close it would scare the living crap out of the liberal socialists.  

It would change the republican party back to what it once was or even better.   Less government and lower taxes would mean something maybe.

NEW YORK (AP) -- ABC and Fox News Channel are narrowing the field of presidential candidates invited to debates this weekend just before the New Hampshire primary, in Fox's case infuriating supporters of Republican Rep. Ron Paul.


Quote
Fox, meanwhile, has invited five GOP candidates to a forum with Chris Wallace scheduled for its mobile studio in New Hampshire on Sunday. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee received invites, leaving Paul of Texas and Rep. Duncan Hunter of California on the sidelines.


Quote
"There very well might be some bias," Benton said. "Ron brings up some topics that aren't very popular with Fox News, as in fiscal responsibility and withdrawing from the war in Iraq ... that does leave us scratching our heads a little bit about whether it was deliberate. Based on metrics, I don't see how you can possibly exclude Dr. Paul."


"not enough space" was their excuse.

He's polling higher than Thompson, this is a disgrace.

He has too many 'loon' qualities, as does too many of his fans---he is the Republican equivalent of Dennis Kucinich

Absolutely ~ all by personal opinion, of course. Hence: the reason you each select one candidate as your choice over the others (that's where the voting part comes in).

Actually, he is more the Republican equivalent of Barry Goldwater. Undoubtedly disconcerting for any "modern" republican that might think George Bush follows traditional Republican values or is remotely conservative.

In that case you're saying something like Fox News is impartial enough to decide for people who they should have the choice to vote for, or in this case who they see and hear debate with the rest of the candidates, as well as take it upon themselves to hamper the campaign of the candidates they think are less equal.

There's nothing impartial about Fox News, and the only reason you support their choice is because it favors your opinion.  Your sense of impartiality's what's sub-standard here..

Wouldn't it be great if Ron makes a strong showing on Jan 3.

The more i look at the other candidates the more i really start asking myself questions. Why in the hell would people vote for such two face politicians that are looking to boost their ego and have ultimate power...

BTW loonies that you are talking about make up 90% of the country.

The Constitution allows any loon that wants to run to be able to. Just doesn't mean he has a snowballs chance is all. I don't believe in wasting votes. We saw what happened with that in '92.

A wasted vote would possibly bring about another 8 years of a Clinton in the White House and that is FAR worse.

Sure would be great!  I can't wait, we've got Iowa tomorrow and NH on the 8th, so we'll soon get a real indication as to how large this Ron Paul Revolution is...   I Want My Country Back!

Let's Take America Back!  (Check this out, click the "more" link for the lyrics.  They're great!)
