He got absolutely no chance.
Majority of population brainwashed sheeple up the eyebrows in debt won't even understand what is he talking about.and they vote alright.
Watch obama get reelected again in 2012!!
More h&c for y'all.

While i respect Dr. Paul greatly.
If you think he would be allowed to fix the system.
Well then we live in a charmed world don't we.
Right now the Republican party is using the debt crisis to bring the Tea Party to heel.
While there are those who will stand by their principles.
I fear that the Two/One party system can only abolished not fixed.
And i feel that Dr. Paul's life would be in extreme danger.
Not a hopeful message but there it is.

Paul has a way with words and realism,you can tell from what he throws out there that he knows that we as a nation will do nothing to retain our liberty and freedom because we have been there for to long with no effort on the peoples part to do anything about anything,at least not on our home front after Peral Harbor.

"Liberty and selfreliance" 42% of the population pay no tax,what is that,about 60 million people that want Obama or anybody that will keep paying them as president no matter how bad or corrupt they are.

"gluttonous appetite"America has always been this way,we have supported the world with the way we live and "pig out" as it were Paul knows who and what we have become as a nation.It's my own opinion that if he pursue's this course of action he will become an extreme threat to just about 90% of the lifers and corrupt politicians and even a bigger threat to the 60+ million people on the government tit.

You do the math.

Ron Paul is an amazing man.
If only there were clones of him so we could all have the chance to elect him into office in our neck of the world.

I like him too he is like a breath of fresh air. but lets be real here, If he were to win an election some day his transparency would fog up real quick. It's one thing to criticize a president and his policies its another thing to be the president and make policy. so becareful putting him on such a high pedestal. cause if he does become president he will be unreachable...................................

Bernie Sanders would be 1000 times better as a President than Ron Paul could ever hope of dreaming.

He sure does have a chance. He's #1 in military donations, beating out Obama who was his only real competition. Military vote, trust me. And he's #1 in an untap voter resource that politicians usually ignore and that's the 18-25 & 25-30ish crowd. And he's not even trying! Politicians usually campaign to the crowds with the best voting records, and the young crowd fails. If they do vote it's usually only for a President, rarely do they bother with state or local elections/issues. This was the case but Obama saw a rise in young voters (not surprisingly) and it definitely helped him if I remember right. In this age of information, the internet age, the one candidate who rules Youtube when compared to any other candidate is Ron Paul. The young crowd love Ron Paul and support him and so does the internet. I read somewhere, prolly here on ATS, that most people now a days turn to the internet for their news instead of the old fashioned way of it being forced feed to them. This only helps Ron Raul.

So we'll see, 2012 is gonna be interesting. The fact that it's round the corner from the Mayan calendar end date is funny to me. The one problem I see for Ron Paul is a rigged election, which I assume we can agree it just might be, that said, if he takes office he'll dismantle this current Gov't and the current Gov't wants presidents who follow whatever the status quo is in the Whitehouse at that time. The don't want someone who will rock the boat. President Kennedy was the last one to do that

i love this guy, he's so transparent almost like you can stop him on the street and talk politics, he'd be a perfect approachable president. reading from a cue card is not his forte i think

edit on 27-7-2011 by jazzguy because: (no reason given)

Keep in mind that before Bush AND Obama each became president, they too both were smooth talking and spoke of change, fixing economic issues, etc. etc....

I'm praying that this guy isn't baiting the country to be another false hope ike the other two and turn out to be just as ridiculous.

Notice how he doesn't sound robotic when he speaks. He obviously hasn't spent much time taking lessons on how to speak in front of a camera. I know it sounds like a weak argument, but this is seriously one of the big reasons why I will probably vote for him in the next presidential election. He's the most genuine candidate I've seen so far. I'm sure he'd make a couple bad moves if he got into office, but at least he cares about the citizens. That's why he's so confident in himself; he knows all people want is someone real to represent them and he knows he can provide at least that.

I love ron paul, everyone loves ron paul.Tell him ,market yourself with some old presidents like jefferson
