If only internet bots were allowed to vote, Ron Paul would win the presidency in a landslide....it's too bad RP'ers can't translate bots into actual votes.
Bots don't work on most online polls. One vote per IP address. True, MSM is doing everything to ignore Dr. Ron Paul.

That's exactly the reason! Politics have become nothing more than like a sporting event, or a reality tv show! And American people buy it hook line and sinker! A local talk show host here in Cleveland very simply said that there ISN'T anything left in this country that isn't corrupt!

I would love to think otherwise, and I plan on voting for the guy, but sadly he has an uphill battle! Oh well, at least none of the current hacks in the Republican party, or Democratic party will get my vote!

I'm going third party if he doesn't get the nomination. I did "lesser of two evils" last time and can't justify it this time around.

He can run as a Libertarian. He can be written in. I know I am so ready for something DIFFERENT in Washington. We have become a nation of warmongers, and paupers. Getting the GOP nomination is like getting the booby prize at a birthday party.

None of the current candidates have a chance of beating the President. If you did a poll of registered republicans on who wouldn't they vote for, you'd find the support against most of them, pretty much guarantees a second term. If the mission is just to beat Obama, then they need to get someone who can beat him, rather then the daily poll favorite.

An in my opinion, the only person who can beat him is............Hillary Clinton.
So if that is the mission (to take him out of the white house), they better go out and recruit the person who can do it.

Well, good!

You're developing a conscience.

Never gonna happen. As I said before, you would have better luck getting Democrats to vote for Karl Rove if he switched party affiliation and decided to run in the Dem primaries.

Class begins. Simple..Ron Paul can NEVER be the Republican nominee....because he is NOT a Republican!!

Paul is a Libertarian. Republican Conservatives will not allow a Lib to take over their party. -- Why is that so difficult for the 'Paulies' to understand?
