Yup the electoral college is what it is all about, many Americans still don't understand this. I saw Dr. Paul on Colbert the other night promoting his book and he really needs a makeover to be accepted by mainstream. I love the man but if I was an ignorant turd, his message wouldn't matter. Polished shoes, a proper suit and neat hair would do so much for his image.

The last thing that bothers me about any candidate is weather they believe in evolution or not.

Hell I don't even know if I buy it but its a nice theory.

No doubt. We are founded on freedom of religion and beliefs. It's a shame that it is even brought up during elections.

I supported Ron Paul last time, and will do so this time. I agree with most of his policies--I am against nuclear energy, though.

As stated previously, he believes in allowing those who wish to do so, to opt out of Social Security...all changes would be a slow, RELATIVELY-PAINLESS, process. People currently on Social Security would continue to receive, etc. Listen, the man has been espousing the same beliefs for 30+ years, and has now been proven correct. He knows what he's doing. Get him in there, give him the support required and this ship can be steered back on course... (imo).

Great news !

Where are the Ron Paul 2012 bumper stickers !

This man is the only one I see truly trying to protect the constitution . The rest just talk about it and not really care about it .

I am concerned with he is not one of the status qua guys so he will be hit hard by the media and all the rest.

I still have my 2008 RP election "stuff", Bumper Stickers, Yard Signs, T-Shirts, etc...

Ron Paul 2012 (and 2016)

TED NUGENT FOR PRESIDENT

Look, i think the success of the Tea Party in the last election just goes to show that people with similar views are taken seriously. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. I hope he turns to alternate news and social media to campaign because i have a feeling the MSM won't give him the time of day.

If he gains popular support, it's a lose lose situation for TPTB. They could let it go, he gets elected and then it's hell for them, but if there's a snag along the way, whether it's a rigged election or he suddenly dies, i don't think people would buy it. It could very well spark a large scale revolt.

He's got my vote ...

... again.

-Constitutionalism

and a few others.

What I disagree with:
-His support of eliminating funding to Planned Parenthood, which provides basic health care to those without health insurance. The result will be devastating.
-His support of the DOMA.
-His support of allowing every law abiding citizen carry guns is a bit worrying.

That's all I can say now because I'm in a hurry but...when it comes down to it, I didn't vote in the last election because I didn't agree with McCain nor Obama....but if Paul does make it this time around....

He has my vote. My first presidential vote ever
-

Most CCW holders(I was one for several years, about to renew it) are the most law-abiding people you'd ever want to meet. If CCW were shall-issue in every state, the crime rate in america would drop like a penny from the observation deck from the empire state building. An armed society is a polite society.

Not that I want to argue the point but maybe you should think about why CCW holders are so law abiding. There is a rigorous process to get a CCW and you have to be law abiding in order to succeed in obtaining it.

By your rationale, we should pass out PHDs to everybody because everybody that has one is smart.

TBH, how rigorous the process is depends on where you obtain one. my utah non-resident CCW was a one-day class and some range time. nothing to it. and, the point of CCW is for law-abiding citizens to be able to protect themselves from the non law-abiding..the way it is now, everyone is easy pickings..just how criminals like it. If we had shall-issue nationwide, there would still be BG checks and so on..criminals get their gats on the street without such checks..but the regular joe/jane citizen would have a chance of stopping an attack on their person instead of explaining it to LE after the fact... assuming they survive. what's better story on the news.."a woman was raped by a knife-wielding suspect", or, " A knife-wielding suspect attempted to rape a woman today, and the woman pulled out a .357 and blew his #ing brains out"?.

I vote for door#2.

OUCH. He JUST said on FOX he wants to get rid of Social Security pensions and the Board of education...

Unless he says what he plans on doing to replace this, then he won't make it very far.

I hear that, since most hard working Americans have paid into SS most of their working lives, and the Board of Education is almost like committing political suicide.

We'll see how far he gets now, these two statements alone are not good at all, especially the SS issue, because most people have lost their pensions.

$500 ready :p.

Ron Paul needs to win. I don't care if everything ends up being the same again in the long run (20-50 years). As long as I get a taste of good life I'm happy.

he's pro pot so im for him

KILL THE FED

The people's money and economy belongs to the people, not the banksters.

KILL THE FED

well..upon further reflection,here's my question: If RP is truly a threat to TPTB, if he would really oppose them..why haven't they taken him out? I mean it's not like they give a # about killing people in congress(see Paul Wellstone), so why is RP untouchable? That, I think, is a question that I would like to see answered. I support him completely; but, I'm kinda done with the whole "so-and-so is gonna save us!!" deal..^^

The pointless drug war is the main reason dread the idea of being a law enforcement agent or official. It's a problem that can only be changed by the congress and the president.

If Ron Paul works to end the pointlessness and end the reason (drug regulations) that that makes it profitable to smuggle and deal drugs, and end the pointless deaths of Americans, Mexicans ect. He'd have my vote.
