I think you'll like his answers

I like his ideas, the tax one is probably the worst, not because of the principle, but because it is unfeesable. Especially cutting inflation to nothing. However, everything else is spot on.

But if he was to become the front runner, I honestly believe every government force would be used to try and bring him down because of his anti large government policies. Even if he was the peoples favourite, he would not be the favourite of those with the real power in America.

Thats how it looks to me on this side of the ocean.

Well, of course, but let's see it. You live for the fight when that's all that you've got...

Whoa...we're half way there... Whoa, WHOA, livin' on a prayer..

Take Ron Paul's hand, we'll make it I swear... Whoa, WHOA, livin' on a prayer...

I have to say, this is the cheesiest thing you've ever posted.

I like Ron Paul a lot and I think the government needs more like him. He also seems to be the only person with clear ideas about what the government ought to look like; ask McCain or Obama and I could almost guarantee that the word "Iraq" would come up within the first five words. It's definitely on Paul's agenda, but I don't think it's one of his up front, main concerns.

[9sublime]

I don't think you can post anything by Bon Jovi without it being cheesy.

[top gun]

I'll say this. If you are going to vote in the Republican primary by all means vote for Ron Paul. From that side he makes the only sense on the war and he has some other decent positions also. He's not pro-choice so I could never vote for him but still compared to the rest of the Republican pack... not bad.

If he doesn't get the nomination please switch over and support the Democratic nominee. There are two or three that would make great presidents and believe me outside of Ron Paul it's our only way out of Iraq.

[lipmonkey]

After watching the last Republican debate I was impressed by Ron Paul being a straight talker who wasn't just singing to the audience. I don't agree with all his ideas but a lot more people are taking him serious after the debates.

I don't see him breaking into the top tier of candidates in the near future, if ever.

I liked his ideas on illegal immigration.

Couldn't help myself. Just heard it on the radio.

Billary also wants to bomb Iran. In fact 18 out of the 20 presidential candidates want to bomb Iran.

I believe money is needed for that:D

Are you kidding me, when 18 of 20 presidential candidates want to bomb Iran money will be of no issue. Hell we have a huge amount of carriers and their support vessels in the gulf right now as a "show of force". How much do you think that costs?

Having any troops at all in Iraq is not occupying Iraq. There will likely be troops in Iraq for various reasons. For instance, helping to secure the oil fields and working with the Kurds in the northern section who actually want us there... etc.

The truth is the troops will start coming home If Ms. Clinton is elected. She's been extremely clear.

Hillary Clinton: Well my goal is to end the war when I'm President and to bring our troops home, but as has been stated in the provisions passed by both the Democratic and the Democratic Senate, we do envision a vastly reduced residual force to remain for some limited period of time to train Iraqi troops, assuming they get their act together and begin to defend themselves, to provide logistical support for counter-terrorism missions, to protect the Kurds if necessary because they have certainly fulfilled their end of the bargain as they have tried to proceed to establish an autonomous region in the north.

And that does not mean we would have a permanent force. I am absolutely clear, we do not plan a permanent occupation or permanent bases, but in line with all of the legislation that has been passed by the Democratic majority or passed when we were in the minority going all the way back to 2005, we have tried to be responsible in saying there may be some continuing missions to protect America's vital interests, and to support an Iraqi government that we hope to be an ally going forward, assuming they are acting responsibly.

So, the bottom line for me is that we will begin redeploying our troops as soon as I am President, and we will do so in as expeditious a manner as possible. We will survey the situation to determine whether there are any remaining vital security interests by 2009, and if there are among the ones I've mentioned and among the ones that appear in the legislation passed in both the House and the Senate, we will proceed to do so in as thoughtful and responsible a manner as possible with as few troops as necessary with no permanent occupation and no permanent bases.

I believe this is true to take out a nuclear weapons facility if Iran gets to the point of manufacturing a nuclear bomb... and I think a vast majority of the American people probably wouldn't oppose that at all.

Hey, I have no problem with Ron Paul's position on Iraq. I'm just saying he has zero chance of getting the Republican nomination. Then what do we do? All of the other Republican candidates are firmly on record wanting an even greater escalation.

Good luck selling that pitch to Bin Laden.

[top gun]

Yea... well you're right he won't like it. But then we probably shouldn't elect candidates on what Bin Laden likes. :)

I just hope everyone weighs the nominee of each party and helps whoever is most likely to start some type of a redeployment.

He has strong grass roots campaigns on his side. If he doesn't get the R's nod, then he may run as an Indi.

Paul said he wouldn't do that.

He hasn't failed to get the Republican nomination yet, therefore he hasn't been bombarded by an avalanche of responses from supporters begging him to run as an indepedent.

Paul prides himself on his consistency. I'd be very surprised to see him reverse course on this one.

I don't see that happening. Paul is the ONLY republican that can beat billary.

I think that would be the most wonderful thing in the world. I really hope he does run as an Independent. I'll tell you this... he's way to level headed to be a Republican. :)

[Truth-Bringer]

That is the reality of the situation, but most Neocons won't admit it.

Come on, you can't reall believe that. In most polls, Guliani leads Clinton. Paul isn't even close.

Paul isn't in all the polls. The polls that he is in however, he is ahead.
If you want 4 more years of the Bush type administration then vote for Rudy, Romney, Clinton or the rest. If you want change vote for Paul.

I'm not talking about those online polls which you are referring to. Paul is a fringe candidate who really doesn't attract anyone aside from the online forum junkies who think voting for Paul makes them seem more intellectual. At least it's better than that demographic voting lib, but it's not enough to get him many votes.

Talk like that about extortioner Bush, who fights stupid wars using our money.

I voted for a libertarian Prez candidate once. It was 1980 and I would have voted for Alfred E Newman if it meant getting rid of the peanut farmer.

Ron Paul was a libertarian and as such, his belief system includes a heavy dose of conservatism. He is closer philosophically to Ronald Reagan than to the NeoCons and GWB.

I applaud him for switching parties. This was an excellent strategy on his part and improves his electability. It also brings The Libertarians and Republicans closer together.

I like Paul a lot. But he is an outsider to the Big Two parties and probably has no chance. (I would equate his chances of winning the Republican nomination to the chances of a film with a strong conservative theme winning an oscar.)

[USMC the Almighty]

I love Paul's domestic views and I really wish he ran anywhere from 1988-1996 -- he would've been great then.

But today, in the Age of Terror, I don't think his isolationist foreign policy is what's right for the country right now.

I'm also not a fan of his protectionism, but I would be willing to overlook that for the abolishment of the IRS.

[Chip]

The problem with Ron Paul is that he bases his positions not on what's rights-respecting for the lives of people, but what he deems best for the financial bottomline.

So if he ever sees it necessary to sacrifice your first-born for the sake of business ... or to reduce the potential for government spending to thereby keep more money in his wallet ... watch out.

Paul's god is money and the Money System.

Whatever is best for his god is his ideology.

That makes him very scary.

Where do you get this crap? He is probably the only doctor who doesn't take Medicare, he always gives money back to the general fund from his office at the end of the every year, he has no money to speak of, he will not accept his Congressional retirement pay...your dis-info is very transparent...
