Aren't you one of those who didn't like the idea of me calling him a useful idiot?
I guarantee in 10 years or less, Dr. Paul's predictions will have come true. And if you have any sense by then, you will be kicking yourself in your arse for being a "useless idiot" ten years prior.

Ok so he may not be outwardly surging but there are a lot of Americans who are non-plussed by Romney and Obama and I'm excited about the third party debates tonight on C-Span at 9. Paul's endorsed three Mainers. Maybe after the debates tonite he'll endorse a third party candidate.

Nah. Paul's predictions may all be completely accurate, but 10 years is an eternity in the national memory. In a decade, most of our present contentions will be nothing but dusty history to the voters of the future. We never kick ourselves in the butt due to past regrets.

Well at this point a vote for Ron Paul is a vote for Obama. Don't think Ron Paul would like that.

Default There never was a Paul surge.

Ron Paul has flamed out and Romney is following suit.

A vote for either is a vote for a loser.

Enjoy President Obama's second term.

Yep, unlike fair weather supporters like you, Ron Paul won't endorse Romney.

Even the useful idiot is hurt probably also realizing that not him, but the republican establishment holds the string, including that of most of his supporters.

I hope you enjoy it. Obama unleashed is not something I want to see. We still don't know what else is in Obamacare (you know the law that had to be passed before we knew what was in it?). It will be revealed if he gets back in and it may be something you really don't want to deal with.

Not if 40% of the people really like Ron Paul. He could be our next president if people just voted their conscience and stopped listening to that silliness about a vote for this guy is a vote for someone else. It isn't TRUE! MORE people than not have been buying that hogwash and voting for the lesser of evils rather than who they wanted. If you vote for Obama or Romney you are just voting for a globalist puppet.

If everyone who voted for McCain voted for Ron Paul, he might have even beaten Obama in the last election. He DEFINITELY would beat Obama and Romney this year if rather than voting for Romney, people voted for him instead. Of votes Romney gets probably only 1% are really excited about him the other 99% are all sheeple who are voting for the supposed "lesser of evils".

Emily, did you know there was a Third Party debate last night? It was broadcast on CSPAN, RT and Al-Jazeera. I thought it was great and for the first time, I really liked Gary Johnson. If you get a chance, please watch. Four candidates, 2 liberal, 2 conservative, get six questions with 2 minutes to answer.
