Boggles the mind that people are still trying to shove Ron Paul in our faces. The stench that he represents was soundly rejected in '08, even by his own party, in favor of mummified McCain.

Ron Paul is of no interest here. This is Obama's time, Pubs! Doesn't bother me in the least that you can't face reality.

I really wish Paul had a chance to win, unfortunately he doesn't. He's too honest and hasn't sold out yet.

Yeah by the ruling elite of the GOP and the MSM. They wouldn't publicize him and as soon as he announced the media was falling all over themselves to denounce him and write him off.

If Paul were to make it through the GOP primaries I think he'd be of big interest to you because I think he'd "soundly reject" Obama. What boggles the mind is that anyone in America still supports Obama.

regardless of how much you might like him and his views (I have mixed feelings) his age would keep him from going very far.

I like paul and think he would make a good president, but the chances of him getting elected are pretty much none.
who is this and why have you stolen tempest68 account? Don't you know tempest hates the Tea Party and people like Ron Paul are the Tea Party? Not frauds like Palin and Bachmann.
lower the debt, reduce the size of the government

Where in Gods green earth did you get the idea I hate old people? I am one for heaven's sake. Because of this, I know how most people think: young people think anyone over 60 is old and anyone over 60, thinks anyone 75 or older that would want to be Pres is crazy. Can you understand this or do you need someone to draw you a picture? I am looking at this as many American would, not as a few vocal supporters are looking at the age issue and Ron Paul. Heck, the number one concern people had about McCain was his age and he is younger than Paul, people are saying, Reagan was too old and some are pointing to Newts age. Even I have heard a few refer to Hillary's advancing years and you don't think Paul is past the age of no return?

I believe Ron Paul was the only one in Congress who voted against the illegal invasion of Iraq as well as voting against the Housing Act. Not only did he vote against those he told us exactly what would happen and it did. The two most important things during the last election and he flat out nailed it. We wouldn't be in this financial crisis and we wouldn't be losing and risking lives in the Middle East.

What's the theory here? Don't vote for what works but instead vote and hope to profit off of our corrupt government? This time it will work, no this time it will, well this time, I promise. You can trust me.

We are like a nation of Cub fans who insist every year to bet the house on the Cubs to win the World Series. WAKE UP!!

i was just pulling your chain a little b/c you're always saying Ron Paul is too old...i didn't figure you actually hated old people.

i respect your opinion. but i also disagree with him being "too old" to be President.
