Tomorrow Stossell will go into what it would be like to have a libertarian government, and the consequences of such a change. Should be very interesting.
Even if some of you don't think Ron Paul can pull this off, or perhaps worry that he can, we can send a message to whoever gets elected, by voting for Paul in the primaries. The message is " BACK OFF". My additional message is GET OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST, and Africa. No more nation building!

This is a recent article reminding us all what Ralph Nader thinks about Ron Paul which is EXTREMELY HIGHLY. He thinks that Ron Paul should get a lot of pull from a lot of areas...
<<<<<A new organization called Blue Republican, advertised on the Huffington Post and elsewhere, urges Democrats to pledge their support for Paul. While Nader isn't willing to endorse Paul's candidacy at this point, during our interview his praise grew increasingly effusive. "Ron Paul has always been anti-corporate, anti-Federal Reserve, anti-big banks, anti-bailouts," Nader says. "I mean, they view him in the same way they view me on a lot of these issues. Did you see the latest poll? He's like two points behind Obama.">>>>>

you end up boxing yourself in the end.

get the 2 party mentality out of your head. vote paul regardless like me.

Where does it say I wont write in Paul and where does it say I will vote for democrat or a republican?

You asked where my vote would go if perry or romeny got the nomination.
I said I DONT KNOW WHERE MY VOTE WILL GO, didnt mean I was voting for those dummies. Just to make that clear.
Once the republican nomination is settled then I will see what the options are.
Until then my vote is with Paul and has been since 2008 i'm doing my best to make sure I get Paul the nomination not these clowns the media wants.

Because the smart one's know, a third party and a write in, are a vote for more socialism.

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.
I find it interesting you say Paul or Cane, they are as different as night and day...Sounds more to me like you just want to support someone that appears to be a little other than main stream, whether you share their views or not.

FROM TODAY

Poll: Ron Paul v Obama a dead heat in Fla.

Democratic-leaning polling firm, shows Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, and former Gov. Mitt Romney, R-Mass., trailing President Obama by a mere one point in their latest poll of Florida voters. Obama has a 56 percent disapproval rating in the swing state.
PPP shows Paul trailing Obama 45-44 in a hypothetical general election match-up, while Romney lags Obama by the same margin, 46-45. Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas, has a 7 point deficit on the president, 50-43 - likely because 63% of voters polled disagree with his characterization of Social Security as a Ponzi scheme.

Paul's campaign kind of facinates me.

He is literally dealing with a medium vacuum. Short of him actually winning a primary the media finds a way to not cover him.

It is almost the exact opposite of Sarah Palin, whose every word is reviled and revered by the media (depending on the media outlet).
