    what do people around here think?
    does he still have a real shot at making the primaries?

    It would be Unamerican of me to act like a Liberal and say
    in the affirmative ... Yes.
    But this latest attempt by the Paul Campaign team to air a 2 minute
    attack ad on Newt is not going to win many new converts.

    Sure he does. He's running well in all the early States.
    The voters don't have a beef with him calling out Newt. Their main issue is his foreign policy. I happen to agree with it, but I know that most primary voters don't.

    Paul was toast from the beginning, and nothing has changed. 76 years old and talks like Daffy Duck! Give me a break! Why would anyone be gullible enough to ever believe he could be nominated?

    Sure, some of his beliefs are good, but that has very little to do with being nominated. :bored:

    Nobody has a chance at winning the primaries unless they toe the line and play ball with the criminals who really run the country...which Paul doesn't. It's the reason he is the only one worth voting for, and the reason he will never win. The elections are a show, and the predetermined selected(not elected) person will win. If he had a chance of winning, it would mean that he had sold us all out.

    all your reasons against him are superficial and all based on ad hominem insult.
    you are a very good example of the average american voter and an example what brainwash media creates.
    i guess your right he does not have a chance if you a re what the majority of the american populace thinks like.

    Ron Paul freaks,

    If you are absolutely so (*)(*)(*)(*)ing convinced our Governemnt is such an evil, corrupt mess where elections don't matter and all your candidates are pre-selected for you despite a primary process where the people within the party vote for the candidate they want...

    Then get on with your (*)(*)(*)(*) revolution already because the man is retiring and won't be around anymore to represent you at all.

    I'm so sick of the Ron Paul "I hate Government, I hate Authority, All America's Enemies are Fiction of Bankers, Elections don't count" attitude.

    It is a (*)(*)(*)(*) poor negative attitude that does nothing to solve the problems of this nation because it provides nothing for the mainstream belief system in this nation and takes abosolutely no account of pragmatic Governance.

    none of us have the power to create such a revolution being most people on this forum are ordinary citizens who would be under arrest or killed for attempting to create such a large movement.
    maybe some ron paul supporters are looking for a revolution but people who follow leaders like ron paul do not jump quickly to violent behavior and destructive actions .....we leave that up to you guys the republicans and Democrats.

    Ah, so this "attitude" (the willingness to face unpleasant facts) solves nothing because it provides nothing (but a wake up call) to the mainstream (delusional) belief system? What you're really saying with a statement like that is that if we believed exactly as you do, then we would "solve" problems by pretending that they don't exist. Just be "mainstream", jump on the bandwagon and then your ideas gain credibility with the others on the wagon. No, thanks. An appeal to popularity is not valid, and sticking your head in the sand only makes it easier for you to get (*)(*)(*)(*)ed.

    No, people with the above attitude have a sick paranoid delusion and a stunning lack of respect for any authority above their own because of an overinflated sense of ego that tricks them into thinking they have monopolies on information that those in the mainstream do not have despite the fact that every piece of information they can access, so can the mainstream.

    It is paranoia, tin hat, conspiracy theory and forever and ever the above thinking displays a mind that will forever be bitter, angry and dissappointed.

    You have some serious issues. You already admitted in another thread that if drugs were legalized you would go on a Jihad and blow up buildings. So instead of ranting about others you might want to seek help for your anger issues.

    Just a thought.

    I don't think he ever did, and that's too bad!
    I don't agree with all his ideas, but I respect the man for his integrity, his honesty, and his intelligence.

    I think he would be MUCH better for America than any of the other GOP presidential candidates. . .and I think he should have ran as an independent.
