After Giuliani spoke for 25 minutes, it was Ron Paul's turn. But after only 10 minutes, they cut him off w/ music.
That's crap, especially considering how much money he's raised.
-
The only thing limiting Ron Paul is his perceived "Electability." Lazs has said that he thinks he's the best candidate, but a vote for him is a wasted vote when the other front runners are too close.
I believe this sentiment to be mirrored in most people. Ron Paul is not dangerous now, he's dangerous when he becomes electable. If he can get air time that the leaders get, he's got a really good chance of taking the ticket.
-
I think Ron Paul's virtue and his problem is that he just ain't a politician. That and he has two first names and a squeaky voice. ;)
-
He doing some real interesting stuff. Probably the number one Web candidate, raising money to eclipse McCain, and yet, even though such things are covered he's under reported. No enthusiasm for the underdog that you might typically find with such developments. Not from the ruling class, that one.

We should now judge candidates on how much money they raise?
Excellent.:rolleyes:
-
I think that's the best thing they could do for him.. After about 10 mins he starts sounding crazy, but for the first 10 he sounds pretty good. :rofl
He has some good ideas and I do like him, but he's kinda like Ross Perot was. Meaning he goes off the deep end real fast if he talks too long.
-
I'm still writing in Ross Perot dammit!

Once they win we judge them on how much money they spend, so why not?

Remember in 2004 the dems got stuck with Kerrry because he was supposedly "electable"
I don't think we should put up a canidate just because he's elecectable.....that's a sure fire way of losing.

He does come off kind of nutty and... he doesn't seem to have a lot of his facts straight.. like the north American highway deal.
I will vote for him if I get a chance. laser is not stating the case correctly.
If I get a chance to vote for him I will... I won't vote for him as a third candidate against hillary tho... that is simply a vote for hillary... the democrats would wet their panties if they could get him to run as a ross perot spoiler..
No democrat will vote for him... he represents the oppossite of socialism.
he doesn't stand a chance of getting the nomination tho even if I vote for him.
he is a bit of a nutter and a wimp like most libertarians

Register Republican and vote in the primaries. If Ron Paul is your boy then check him. If your machine is an electronic Diabold forget it you hosed!
:noid

I am registered as a republican and will vote for him
The best I can hope for is that thompson will get the nomination tho.. paul has no chance... I would like paul to get a lot of votes in the primary tho to prove that his ideas resonate with smaller government republicans.

Yea that in reality would probably would be the best realistic outcome, from him running.
Unfortunately I just see this Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton Dynasty continuing.
Those two families are the longest serving presidential families in history.....:noid :huh
-
I definitely think he's the best candidate out there right now, regardless of party.
-
rpm.. then you need to look again at what he is saying. he is the opposite of your socialist ideals. You could not handle the lack of big government in your, and more importantly, everyone elses lives.
you wanted kinky because he was gonna extort more money from the people of Texas to give to public schools for instance.

I think John Adams & John Quincy Adams may be longer. Pretty sure both father & son served 8 years.
Also, you can't count Hillary in that mix. Her husband has been the only one who's been president.

Regardless of how nutty anyone thinks he is/is not, it would have probably been a better idea to not cut him off & let everyone else decide just how nutty they think he is/is not.
