As vain as this sounds..
(And I HATE people that voted for Obama because of race or charisma) Ron Paul is a wirey, shrill voiced little dude. I support what he says, but he will never be president. Ron Paul is right in the spot he needs to be. He is more good to us as congressman that will point fingers at the administration and cause a stir. |

I'm sure the Democratic party will be happy to help Ron Paul campaign though... or did they manage to get that practice banned after the GOP was working to help the Green Party splinter the democratic vote? |

Sure vote for Ron Paul if you think our military is the reason 9/11 happend, that we turned Iraq into the world’s leading breeding ground for terrorists, and the US plans, initiates and wages wars of aggression. This information came straight from http://www.ronpaul.com/on-the-issues/national-defense/. He's not someone I want representing me because he doesn't represent anything I believe in.

No.
Ron Paul is like Kay Hutchison (in this way only): good where they are, but when they try to bite off more than they can chew, they fall flat. Ron Paul will NEVER be president and will only make an ass of himself trying to become president, the same way Kay's making an ass of herself trying to become governor. |

Even people who said they would vote for Paul during the last election didn't vote for him when it came time to pull the lever. I'm the only person I now personally who voted for Paul. I knew about a dozen more who agreed with his positions as a candidate. Most voted for someone else so that McCain woudln't get the nomination.

There are people in the party that are good and we need to flush out the ones that aren't. I think Ron Paul has a place in the party just not in the white house. I'm not a Paul hater, he's just not my guy. South Carolina is where it's at for me right now. I'm pretty pissed that Sanford blew it but Demint is GTG and Wilson has some momentum behind him right now. It's possibel to revitalize the party but there is some compromise that has to take place. I look for about 80% in my candidates because I reaalize that a candidate can't please 100% of the issues for 100% of the voters. When we all can accept this then we can move forward as a party. But the candidate has to have a sturdy conservatiuve foundation in place with emphsis on fiscal conservatism. |
