Interesting to note Ron Paul's "netroots" continue to kick butt on the internet yet he receives little notice in the mainline polls or mainstream campaign attention.

As you can see in a completely non-scientific poll on MSNBC as of now he is ~60% in 3 c

Seriously. Why are they attempting to drive things further to the right? This should be an election where the candidates are jumping over each other to avoid partisianship and move toward a more centrist position, or at least have "something for everybody.

The pols and pundits who took aim at Paul may have thought they were only risking his supporters. However, I think they just sent a pretty unflattering message towards the much larger body of potential GOP voters that are questioning why we are in Ir

I had the exact opposite thing happen to me. I lived in probably one of the most conservative states in the nation during the Kerry/Bush election. Even though I knew Bush would likely take my state with 70%+ of the vote (and that was low -- the protest vot

I know I voted Gore but living where I knew Kerry would win anyway, I'm trying to remember if I was actually able to bring myself to punch the hole for that douche.

Gosh, I really miss the booths where you can pull the lever.

I don't know who Ron Paul is, and I don't give a tinker's fart who Ron Paul is. I just wanted to vent about how blogs have copied (books;movies) the spurious practice of cherry-picking certain words from reviews to give a totally false rave when the

Odd. I've run into a few folks (in print) who felt the same way about Kucinich, if he ever won the Democratic nomination.

I hear everybody on CNN talk about Obama as "The First AFRICAN-AMERICAN" President

I thought Bill Clinton was the first African-American President.

No one else running for the posts speaks about serious issues, they just talk about what their sponsors tell them to.

I wonder what would happen with both chambers of congress controlled by the democratic party and Ron Paul as president. That would be interesting.

I think Ron Paul is to libertarians what Howard Dean was to greens / lefties in 2004. He looks new and exciting compared to the rest of the field, and his nominal platform appeals strongly to technically literate young men (keep your hands off my pot, my

You sure about that? You could be right, because he's probably the only one who would say what needs to be said (everyone else is sold out on both sides). If I could vote in your elections, he's the only one candidate aside from a Obama/Clinton ticke

While Ron Paul will not win the Republican nomination, the funny thing is that if he did, he'd probably win the 2008 presidential election.

If he gets significant support look for a vote splitting effort in the primaries by the evangelicals and neo-cons signing up "Ru Paul."

Politics makes strange bedfellows. Sometimes one of them is a tran
