the right person is standing right in front of theirs eyes, the republicans are just not willing to see him.

this just shows me that people on both sides of the political spectrum are still afraid of freedom and liberty.

If any of them were subjected to the things Santorum proposes, I would most certainly go to jail before I would permit the government to intrude into their lives to such a degree.

I'm old enough that most of that list of mine are gals who are voters. I got their backs and I know they got mine. And none of us are different from millions of other families everywhere.
Guess I haven't kept up with the woman issue/controversey? What...exactly, specifically...is so offensive to to you...''If any of them were subjected to the things Santorum proposes'' ????

look at the candidates, none of them actually stand for what the principles that the republican party stood for. also look at the democrat party, none of their candidates stand for what they once stood for either.

too many people in the USA are just too used to getting a paycheck from uncle sugar to even see where the money is coming from.

I am not saying that RP is the best candidate for the job, but he is sure a sight better than any of the choices being shown to us by the liberal media bias.

Since you responded so politely, decently...I'll also be polite...and concise...and simply say, Paul is a Libertarian...not a Republican.

Don't you think that has been his problem of not 'connecting' with many of the GOP base?

I already knew he was a republican with Libertarian leanings. but he is not a true Libertarian. some of his stances goes against the Libertarian party.
he doesnt connect with the republican party because they still think that the republican party is about defense, religion and the 2nd Amendment.

what they do not realize is that with freedom and liberty, all of that can come true without inhibiting anyone elses freedom or liberty.

Sorry!! That's just NOT TRUE!!! We, conservative minded...will not tolerate legalizing drugs, marijuana, prostitution. NEVER.

Also, this wacky...No foreign policy is lunacy. I'm not even going further...just too ridiculous. Don't try to mix that crap in the Conservative stance. You'll be shouted down...FOREVER

Um, "the choices being shown to us by the liberal media bias" are the GOP
candidates...no so-called "liberal media" chose them, nor do they write their speeches or choreograph missteps or gaffes. No journalists could make this stuff up. They may give Dr. Paul less coverage, but his poll numbers have been somewhat low, which doesn't provide much to cover.
If he started winning or even coming close to Romney and Santorum, they'd cover it. Remember Rachael Maddow's segment on how the GOP itself ignores Paul? We Liberals pay attention.
