If you really believe that (and I don’t think you do, the rest of you article demonstrates an intelligent mind) you need a reality check.

Obama’s skeletons didn’t effect him. The media and AIPAC has shut Ron Paul out for more than 30 years, what makes you think he could have overcome that? Who was the last presidential candidate who did? Eisenhower?

OK so now we’ve rejected Democratic Tax-and-Spend, Republican Borrow-and-Spend in favor of Liberal TAX-AND-BORROW-AND-SPEND. It’s probablt too late but someday we’ll all realize that the problem with government is that IT IS THE
SPENDING STUPID!

Rememeber no matter who is in office – anything they do is about the votes.

It wasn’t ALLOWED to be heard, however.

From Dec 26, 2007 to Super Tuesday his name was mentioned on the prime time channels a grand total of 5 times versus 1000 for McCain.

He was under a media blackout.

Cover Story of Time magazine. Why is it Ron Paul isn’t in the picture or mentioned in the story once?

No one talked about him and if they did it was derisive. This was universal on every major outlet and talk show.

Even Rush Limbaugh avoided him like the plague.

What people fail to believe is that the system is rigged. Regardless of who wins, nothing changes.

Government will continue its overspending.
The US will continue to put its nose in other countries business.
Our Congress is bought and paid for by lobbyists.

So now that people have been brought to such an emotional height, in 3 years there may finally be a window of realization what a scam it is.

Or not.

Either way, many of us have been show the emperor has no clothes.

I think his campaign could have went a lot better if he would have mentioned that he voted against the war, and will do everything to bring our troops home. He should have denounced the truther idiots sooner and get away from that bunch completely, they will not get you elected.

He should have just hammered on what he’s best at the economy. Still though it’s almost impossible for someone like Paul to win because Obama and McCain had massive backing. Paul had us, we were small but loud. We all know he was the right guy for the job, but the massive want to be spoon-fed crap, and that my friends is unfortunately how you win the presidency. And Paul isn’t that kind of man.

I’d love to see him run for Governor or the Senate now though; he might have a good shot. And in the end he did start a movement it’s up to us to continue it.

I watched the first few primary debates and I have to disagree. Ron Paul made quite a few mistakes, but the main one I saw was to focus too much on opposition to the Iraq War. Every chance he got to speak, he mentioned foreign policy. That isn’t the way to win, primary or otherwise. Sure, the Ron Paul Republicans would be a good thing, but focusing on the areas where conservative Republicans and Ron Paul Republicans agree would be a better strategy. There is still common ground in the Republican Party; liberty minded folks just need to find it and use that to branch out into areas of disagreement.

But as for judging Ron Paul, lets not waste words or look for the finer details whilst we overlook the main issue.

The Republican Party is stacked with the most extreme supporters, a bunch of social conservatives forming a cheer squad with a 5 second attention span more suited to the short speeches of Fred Thompson and Rudy Giuliani.

Ron Paul, although a bit too old and past his prime, makes a very sound candidate.

He couldn’t get past the primaries, couldn’t muster a significant vote, and he was deeply resented by the party faithful and media hacks who didnt invite him to participate in the debates.

Don’t get me wrong, the Democrats are stacked with celebrities and mindless zombie Obama followers who went into full tear-shedding mode this week.

But the Republican Party, those who determine who the candidate will be, need to be infiltrated by “Ron Paul Republicans” or at least sober minded, liberty lovers.
