Ya know, the longer this goes on the less & less I like either Obama or McCain. I'm beginning to wonder about space cadet Paul.

Document what makes him a "space cadet" considering is has more brains than either of the other two you just mentioned...otherwise the name calling really does nothing to advance any side.

I did like Ron Paul.

I think the Republicans made a big mistake and voted for Mcsame.
I thought Ron paul would have given Barack a hard time.

I do like his honesty and I think that was the main reason why Republicans did not vote for him because they wanted someone to keep on lying to them. They wanted McSame to continue to hide bush's secrets/dirt.

Ron Paul was putting everything out there and I think Republican insiders saw him as revealing or admitting to a lot of the dirt Republicans have been doing in the white house.

He was the only Republican out of all the others who ran for president to call Iraq a big mistake and we should have never went into Iraq.

I think he would make a wonderful president except for his age. He seemed as if he had bad memory.

I disagree, it is easy for an opponent to demonize Paul from statements he has made about the Civil War and other federal actions to promote equality. Also, he is an easy target due to his support from "marginal" (i.e. - skinhead type) organizations.

Not labeling Paul as a bigot at all here, but these issues are easy for an opponent to effectively use against him.

Just this alone would cause him to be slaughtered in a national contest.

I don't see anything wrong with his memory--and isn't he only a yr older than McCain? A man with his integrity is a rarity today--an honest Congressman, who gives most of his salary back to the Tax-payers--has delivered many babies for free--understands the Constitution as it was meant to be--does not accept support money from Big business corporations, ect. I hate hearing some people call him "nutty". We should all be so nuts.

Paul is running for his US House seat again. He is no longer in the Presidential Race.

Bob Barr is... but is that an alternative?!?! Barr and Nader are a thorn on the side of each party.... Barr hurts the GOP and Nader hurts the Dems.

I would rather not waste a vote on a libertarian since they have 0% chance of winning in November and would focus my vote on either J. McCain or B. Hussein Obama... whichever is the LEAST HARMFUL and has the most ideas close to mine.

What say you??

Just wondering why you mentioned Obama's middle name? Is this a name he picked or one that he was born with? Are you trying to suggest that he is Muslim and therefore a supporter of terrorism? Do people's names infer what kind of ideas they have? Just askin'?
