You are right, he isn't most, but you do have to admit, there are a huge number of people who do think many of his ideas are pretty kookie or at best not workable.

That can also be said for both our sitting president, and all of the other current candidates.

Any objective, perceptive....logically sound-minded human, Clearly recognizes that Paul has not, and CANNOT convince the majority of voters, that he is presidential. - Because...he is NOT!!

I'll go ahead and 'let the cat outta tha bag.'

As a speaker, Paul is not good. He is not compelling, not zealous, no excitement in his voice. Simply put, Mr. Paul does not 'grab you' in a manner that instills confidence, strength and a desire to support him.

Paul does not have that 'Fire' burning within, that a POTUSA needs to have!

But, of course also, the Libertarian platform he stands on, is not appealing to grassroots America.

BUT, I realize until he is officially counted out, many folks around here....will continue to yell and shout about Ron Paul. After all, that's the American way.

But they cannot say why using facts, and past history.

Not really, you just have a different viewpoint-one that has been cultivated by the mainstream media and our failing bi-partisanship, over-reaching, militant, corrupt Federal government. Tactics that are meant to distract you from the truth.

Many of us feel that by interfering in other country's matters we attract more terrorists and hate groups. This is simpy logical. America can no longer police the world if our economy is failing. We need to fix our country first because if America fails the entire world fails.

Many of us feel that more power should be returned to the states, you know like how our unique and wonderful constitution was set up.
Many of us also feel that there is an exorbant amount of waste within the different Federal departments and many can be eliminated.
Many of us understand that The Federal Reserve is corrupted, a private entity that doesn't have to answer to anyone and is controlled by International Bankers with little to no regard to our country.

You call him radical, well maybe we NEED a radical leader. You don't seem to understand the severity of the problems we face. America has as much debt as a third world country. When understanding the issues we face as a nation I don't see how you could support anyone besides Ron Paul.

But hey keep trying the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result...what's that called again? Oh yeah, insanity.

'Yell and shout?' You are the one posting in BOLD BLACK letters as well as hot tempered red letters.

I think you are either a computer generated anti-Paul progamme or stuck in a mental facility.

I did not get my ideas on Paul from MSM, you righties need to drop that myth it don't float. At first I was interested in the man, then I dug deeper and I was not pleased by his ideas. Reform is a good idea, trashing it all and staring over is NOT an option. There are other ways besides the Paul way, maybe if the GOP would stop whinning so much and start working with the Dems we could make some actual progress, guess that is too much to ask, especially since the radical far right Tea Baggers are taking over the GOP. So get used to where we are, the GOP wants it that way unless they get total power, which is not going to happen.
