And this makes you happy? Pathetic.

Ron Paul is or was the only republican candidate that made any sense.

However, as I said last year Ron Paul will never succeed because Americans will not vote for anyone that does not meet a certain image. Ron Paul is a senior, he is bald, short, and of average looks.

Americans insist on a president of good image.

So true, and as much as I can't stand the man, Romney has the "Presidential Look" just like Obama, Bush, Clinton, etc, which really frightens me.

Mitt Romney won't have enough delegates in Tampa. Ron Paul will take the nomination on the second ballot.

A vote for either Obama, or Romney, is a vote to end freedom in this nation and a direct path to full fascism.

I think of it as the beginning. I'd love to see Ron Paul type Republicans instead of the Tea Party and Paul cleaned up with the youngest Republican voters and got crushed with everyone else. Unfortunately for libertarians, no good spokesman on the horizon, Rand Paul trades off his dad's name and fools some but he's not a whit different from Rick Santorum.

I call B.S.! Sen. Rand Paul aggressively denounced NDAA on the Senate Floor; while, on the other hand, on the campaign trail Santorum lauded the passage of NDAA.

As a republican nominee... you can count on it as... purely Utopian.

If Ron Paul does not get the GOP nomination in 2012, I hope that the grass roots supporters of RP do not fade away but keep fighting so that in 2016 they can put up a stronger candidate that can defeat Romney or the democratic nominee.

Seeing a degradation of conservatism going from Barry Goldwater to Ron Paul, by the time one such candidate makes it, such support will be drowning in republicanism and away from everything Goldwater was about.
