Ron Paul 2012 (vote, Republican, conservative, president)

[NYCAnalyst]

Why isn't anyone talking about him? It seems like given the current state of the economy, and the fact that he is a fiscal conservative, it just makes sense that many Americans would vote for him - if they knew what he stood for!

Anyone that don't know what Ron Paul stands for must of been living under a rock or one fell on them

Still a bunch out there will vote straight party line if they knew a trap door was going to fall out from under them

Then the bunch that vote their wallet

Then the bunch that don't want to here of the tough things he says need to happen

How many is left ?? .

He doesn't and never will have a chance.

Paul's a libertarian -- except when it comes to abortion. I think he's like Dr. Townsend and Huey Long -- a flash in the pan.

Because 3rd parties always lose. If he's so damn smart, why hasn't he figured that out yet?

He also will be around 80 in 2012. And remember the posts here about "Gampy John" and other assorted derogatory comments about McCain's age last year.

I could never get past Ron Paul's statement early in the debates of his last run about preferring to fight terrorists on our soil rather then overseas.

He has some good ideas. I appreciate that he is one of the few who seem to uphold his oath to the Constitution. But for President? Not a chance. Sometimes the guy just comes of as a loon!

Why?
Because even if the ruling class allowed him to become prez(zero chance)
he would still have to deal with a system beyond all reform.
