I don't care for the GOP and only support Ron Paul because he's right! I'm have strong libertarian values but the GOP would consider me a lefty. Social issues kills the GOP for me.
my bad, thought you were republican.

is the GOP going to take over your soul and make you vote for the top candidate, or will you fight that urge off and vote for a paul who may not even be on the ballot.

i dont respect anyone who supports paul and then votes for an establishment candidate. thats evidence that the person was not a paul supporter to begin with.
Many now realize all to well that with the D and R parties nothing much is going to change for the better, things stay about the same on important issues year after year. The glaring reason is corporate globalism by the elites who run both Washington and the media, they through lobbyist organizations who pay their re election money are who most of our officials answer to, not to the people. Ron Paul a non globalist said that "with the R and D parties nothing will happen, they will tinker around the edges only but not actually fix things." Ron Paul tells the truth, a rarity in politics.

Ron Paul and Bachmann are the only candidates that have no affiliation with CRF, or the Bilderbergs. Ron Paul remains the only one that knows exactly how to turn this around. The debt clock says 14.6 Trillion, but if you add in entitlement obligations, the number is somewhere in the neighborhood of 60-80 TRILLION - they don't even know. Spending has been our drug, Ron Paul is the "intervention" we need.

Default Thumbs down on Ron Paul

I have to hand it to Ron Paul supporters. They are relentless in their delusional desperation and support for this repulsive man. Any "poll" that has Paul beating President Obama is about as credible as one showing Ru Paul beating the President.

Ron Paul is flaming out, spiraling out of control into oblivion. After he withdraws this time, that will be the end of him. The country benefits from this.

The fact that this is a Yahoo story gives one pause for thought. Yahoo is about as far left as one they can get in their selection of news stories. I would have thought they would have buried this story.

I've long debated whether I could hold my nose and vote for a Perry or a Romney or a Bachmann. I would gladly vote for Paul.

But the reality is, Obama and the left have gotten so extreme with their shrill declarations that I'm the devil because I had the audacity to make something of my life that really, it has to be anybody but him in 2012.

As mentioned, the larger issue is whether Paul can woo enough of the extreme right nutjobs to win his own party's nomination.

I hear you loud n clear. How about voting for Paul in the primary's and see what happens. It's way too early to abandon him now. The rest have big bucks, all he has is us grassroots and the military.
