no way! he's the only reason politics is interesting right now. he's our only hope. and the only one who says intelligent things, can back up his claims with his voting record, and has no skeletons in his closet. Romney could make things more interesting by dropping out though! Because then we could get on with the debate between Paul and Obama!

He,s doing more than just running for president. He,s also advancing the cause of Liberty and educating the public on the real state of the nation and what we can do to fix it.

Yes

Go again next time; save your money. Although Jeb is going to be running so what! You can beat him! Save your money and wait my friend.

There is something coming up about Mr. Romney's past that will be a deal breaker if it sees the light of day that is.

actually several things, including his recent illegal courting of voters with sub sandwiches on voting day...

reply
Ricardo... to dragonf... 2012/05/14 23:55:11 (edited)

Bribing voters with dog pie sandwiches was only an assurance of future policy determination. This is much more serious for all involved.

Worn out? Certainly you must be joking. Don't you remember who hit the first over the fence home run ever at the last congressional baseball game?

I think he should be nominated. Only way I'd ever vote Republican. Otherwise it's the Green Party or the Justice Party. I will not be responsible for either one of the criminals, Romney or Obama to be elected.

that is possible, but not probable. in order for that to happen, you and 57,000,000 other people would have to do the same thing.

I completely support your right to vote for whomever you wish, but this election the only one who has a chance to get obama out of office is romney, and unfortunately i will vote for him. he will be a one termer, and then hopefully there will be a better choice.

I believe the repub nominee has a great chance to defeat obama, not based on what their record might be, but based on the incompetence of obama

Why should he? He is a much better choice than Mitt Romney, and our last real hope for legitmate change in our country.

"Republicans" hate the fact that he has rabid fans--like myself--who won't back down on trying to get him elected. He is FOR REAL, whereas Romney is a complete and total fraud who is under the control of the Koch Brothers cartel.

There are a lot of Paul's policies that I don't agree with and I wouldn't vote for him, but I think he raises some important questions in debates and he's the only Republican presidential candidate I have any respect for.

Ron Paul is free to continue running right up to the Republican Convention, I doubt he will succumb before that time.

I'm sure you are right...but can we truthfully continue on the path we are on? The problem is systemic. Neither Romney, NOR Obama seem capable of making the hard choices that will pull us out of the mess we are in. The American PEOPLE need to become informed and be willing to make whatever changes or sacrifices needed to keep from just passing it on to future generations. We ARE the generation it got passed to and unless we look for honest, hard hitting solutions, we will face the consequences of UNSUSTAINABILITY. Whistling past the graveyard does'nt solve problems.

everything he says can be researched thats why i have unwavering support for him, and thats why others support ron paul his information is valid, and you can do your own homework that will lead to the same conclusion as he gives. i am glad there is a conspiracy theorist running for office, we have something in common me and paul, he knows what the government is about, and so do i i have seen the writing on the wall, and if you havent the most you have to do is look at the legislation the executive orders, the hr347, agenda 21, and alot of others, or just listen to the others, they are for the same things that ron paul is warning us against, he is against the national security chip. he doesnt think the government needs to have the authority over involvement of peoples everyday lives, he still believes in our constitutional freedoms, which both romney and obama have agreed openly to support even though they have different policy issues, they are the same and have no intentions of repealing the unconstitutional laws president obama passed, and mitt romney was the author of obamacare first, ron paul just thinks people would be better off if we didnt nose in on everyone elses happenings, and didnt police everyone and everything in the world.

Do we need to police the entire world, or should we just worry about home? Do you know for a fact that our presence is needed all over the world, my personal opinion a long time ago was that they were tired of us doing what we do best and minding everyone elses business.

Reality (as well as right thinking) dictates that we can no longer be the world's policeman. We've spent too much blood and treasure on wrong causes. Our INTRUSION causes more offense than benefit in so many countries. We need to do what is necessary to heal OUR SELF before we can offer aid and assistance to any and all causes. Why should THE FED and oil barons continue to erode our soveriegnty? I do not care to be shoved into the NEW WORLD ORDER just because we're too stupid or lazy to address the real issues.
