Ron Paul R-TX

While I understand that the majority of this site is for Fred, And I'm bracing for a firestorm, but why not support Ron? We cannot go wrong by returning to the constitution.

His stance on the 2a, Along with his tax stance, his immigration stance, his plan for resolving the national debt, Shoot, just about everything he is is in line with us...

It's a good thing that Ron Paul supports the second amendment. We're going to need our guns if he ever gets his way and ends our involvement in our overseas interests. Our enemies would be pouring into this country like ants on a chocolate bar.

GO RON PAUL!!!!!!

The big reason that he does not have more widespread support here is alot of posters do not agree with his foreign policy positions.  His lack of support does not have to do with his stance on domestic issues.

Fred has a shot.  Ron doesn't.

As Beck says, "You can't sell the steak without the sizzle".

Something about Ron...just kind of creeps me out.  I can't put my finger on it.

Fred, on the other hand, LOOKS like a president.  AND, he has played one on TV.

Ron Paul FTW!

Quoted: Fred has a shot.  Ron doesn't.

explain, plz. (with something other than "feelings").

i can understand why some people think Dr. Ron Paul may not win, but to think Fred has a shot... is just crazy.

I'm going to vote for him in teh primaries.

Is stance on foreign issues is that way it is because of his stance on domestic issues.

We've listed our reasons, argued them out in depth in too many threads to count.

There are two problems with RP IMO

1. He isnt a very viable candidate and could bring a split in the vote like 92

2. He wants to 'understand why we were attacked' on 9-11...Who cares, we WERE attacked, now we kill them, end of discussion.

Have you actually ever heard Ron Paul speak? Are you watching the debate? Do you actually think that guy would make a good PRESIDENT?

If Ron Paul is the president, you might have your gun, but your country might not be there anymore.

Don't get me wrong, I think Ron would be an OK president.  The only issue I have with him is his pull-the-troops-out-NOW isolationism.

...another Pon Raul troll.

Come on, I'm not a troll

Paul isn't an isolationist and has no problem with going to war, as long as it is done as the constitution outlines. We've already kicked the terrorist's asses into the stoneage. I realize that our concern is Iran now. The solution? Declare war, fight, win, come home. Decades long policing just isn't going to work. We handled the Nazis and stood off the Soviets, both much more fearsome enemies than those we're likely to face again anytime soon.

I've watched the debates, and it seems to me that Paul is doing the best job at getting his points across. He is running as a Republican, not third party. Maybe his views are a little extreme, I thought so too, and was a staunch supporter of Fred, Ron Paul is just too good to pass up. It's not a wasted vote to put it toward him. He's doing quite well; It will just take a little more activism on our part. Give him a serious look, Look at his record, it's impressive.
