Probably not if he were serious.

Keeping his platform alive, sure, run, but the man has reached that age level that might do some damage.

He should be allowed to run.The more he merrier. The two party monopoly should end. That said I would like to see a 51% rule and a second election( if none of the candidates get 51% )between the two candidates who received the highest number of votes. This would ensure that a president is not picked by only 10% of the country.

Just to yank your chain

But in truth it is a very good method for determining a president

I'm not afraid of the boogieman or shadows. I remember the same warmongering tactics used during our war on Vietnam.

The whole world would fall to communism like dominoes. And what actually happened after the people demanded an end to the war? We became trading partners with them, which we remain today.

Scary! :shock:
 
I don't see eye to eye with Ron Paul on many economic issues, but on social issues and foreign policy - He is right on. The sad part though is mainstream Republicans dislike him because he believes in freedom and anti-imperialism.

That's 100% true. It also explains why they were unhappy with the congressmans victory at the Straw Poll because they don't want him to win at all.

They did not go over a cliff by themselves. They were pushed by democracy. Of course we would trade.

Your argument lacks weight.

The "cause" for the war lacked weight, that is why the people both of this country and the South Vietnamese eventually did not support it.

Its been the same with our 7 year war against the Iraqis.

I voted "no." Ron Paul would shut down too many aspects of the government too quickly via executive order, and it would hurt too many people and businesses if he did so. If Ron Paul became President, I'm sure there would be a pissing match never before seen between the President and Congress over the functioning of the government.

I don't mind a libertarian for President so long as he's a moderate libertarian, and I don't think Ron Paul is one.

Yes, he WOULD work to shut down the unconstitutional functions of government. If this could ever be done, we would have greater prosperity than anyone could imagine.

I like Paul, but there's a whole lot of house-cleaning that needs to be done on all fronts in order to bring sanity to our nation.

Yes. We MUST clean out the oppressive, abusive and unconstitutional departments and functions of government.

Too old.
Strom Thurmond was 100 years old.

Voice is too squeaky.
So what. I LOVE it.

Great Congressman.
AMEN!

Takes votes from Republicans that tends ta help Democrats.
Taking votes from Republican turncoats in the primaries does NOT give votes to Democrats.

Being principled is one thing. It is an entirely different matter when one tries to govern an entire country and work with the congress to make it coherent.
