He's sort of like the Snooki of politics. No accomplishments but thinks he can be a major star, anyway.

By the way, I had to vote for 14 delegates which was more than my drop out candidate had on the ballot so I filled the rest of my vote with Paul delegates.

I want the eventual candidate to hire him to control the purse strings. But President, I don't think so. You have to have some kind of record of accomplishment to be top dog.

I wonder if he would even be interested in a cabinet position? My gut feeling, if he can't be Pres (which I am not sure he really wants either) he is totally through with politics. I think he will leave it to Rand to take over ther raines.

I think most Republicans are crazy. Ron Paul is the only one that makes any sense to me.

I think Ron Paul has already accomplished what he set out to do.

Ron Paul is humble.. if actually look at the man. Thou I know your not interested in that your use to Rick Perry and Bush cowboy thinking.
I think the accomplishment in congress is a voting record of which was his JOB! I wish people in congress took their oath to the constitutution seriously and maybe we wouldnt have obamacare, a bridge to no where, debt, a balanced budget, and all the things RON PAUL VOTED AGAINST.
You would have have the bailouts.
If you talking about Accomplishments which big government idealogy did these other candidates push thru or support? I guess maybe having princples like Ron Paul is not an accomplishment and having no princples and ignoring economic princples and individual liberty is quite respected in washington.

you know what, on this one I happen to agree with you. That is why I don't think he really cares whether he gets the nomination and he has no or very little interest in being part of anyone's cabinet. This isn't meant to be a putdown or a build up on him, just how I see it.

Just trying to slap this stuff out hunting and pecking on an Ipad which is the worst for quick editing....lots of typos. But, I only have so much time.....the message is still fairly clear. Paul, while a nice guy, is just not going to get it done.

Him or his twin, Mr. Walston, may HE rest in peace.

Ron Paul isn't crazy. He's just wrong.

'I can't make up my mind': The tale of the undecided voter - CNN.com


The Republicans profiled in this article sure do. I wonder if this is a true representation of average Republicans.

Out of 4 total undecided Republican voters interviewed for this article before the SC primary, here is what they said about Paul:
1."Lunatic. Wacko. Crazy."
2."He's way out there. He frightens me."
3."He's a little too extreme for me. Kind of wacko."
4."I like his budget cutting, but he is kind of crazy."
LOL @ GOP base voters (esp in SC!) calling someone crazy
