He's America's savior if you ask his followers, everything is peachy, so let's see how that works out since nobody in America wants to get things fixed.

I'll be in the minority but I'm still voting for Ron Paul. just for sanity sake.
I think he may do a lot better than expected in the primary. As someone pointed out, he beats Cain and Perry in most of the polls, yet they barely mention his name.
Obama is out on the trail saying he's made all the right decisions. How stupid does he think we are?

I've noticed how the media tries to sweep Ron Paul under the rug and limit his TV time. but the groundswell is evident. real change is coming. I just hope it gets here before election time 2012.
I'm not really interested in 4 more years of Obama-madness.

Do you seriously see him as that much of a threat that you have to bash everything someone says about him? Its immaturity how ever you decide to look at it if you have no interest in getting him elected by act like a bully to everyone who is interested?
That's what he lives for. Ignore him.

I do not bully anyone, if what I post bothers you ignore it and me. As for your continued personal attack, I already did, explain to them I am sure they will be interested. Don't bother with a reply they will not be read or replied to by me in the future. Want to add any more personal attacks, I would suggest you hurry.

More importantly, Paul is the only candidate I believe will actually do what he says when he gets into office. Lately, there has been a LOT of politicians who say everything during an election, but turn around 180 deg. when they get into office. Paul at least acts on what he has said while in Congress.
I know, Ron actually lays out exactly what he'll cut and by how much. Everyone else is just like "meh, I'll cut some discretionary stuff and you know create jobs." Or they just vomit out "999" repeatedly.

Ron Paul won't gain the nomination unless a majority of voters support him...This doesn't seem to be the case right now. And it doesn't seem likely at this point in time...But who knows? Anything can happen! But it does seem doubtful right now...Most GOP voters are looking for someone else. (Probably someone who is not in the "race" right now but they are "stuck" with the candidates they have!)...It's frustrating when everyone doesn't "love" or "want" our favorite candidate. It's frustrating when our candidate always "lags behind." But we live in a democracy where the "majority rules." And if our candidate can't get a "majority vote" he or she won't "win."

We live in a republic, not a democracy.
