    Yes, he hates those and will put you on ignore if you keep slinging silly things like facts at him. Old people are very stubborn.

    An Obama loyalist masquerading as a Paul supporter?

    This is a statement.
    Some kind of evidence that he has a chance would be useful before simply claiming this to be a "fact".
    I'm afraid I agree with your adversary. Paul has absolutely zero chance of winning the nomination. He has lost every contest so far. What is the model you imagine for the big comeback that will lead to enough delegates to win the Republican nomination? Where is his path? What's your logic?
    I think he will run third party, though, and throw the election to the Democrats.
    At least I hope he does.
    Good luck.

    It is funny that you people say this. Those that support Paul, the ONLY one that would change the system, are the Obama supporters. Yet those that support Romney, Santorum, or Gingrich are ok? These three are carbon copies and will take the US in the same direction Obama has been going. Romney has admitted to this, he just thinks we can go socialist at a slower pace. Newt is one of the culprits to bigger government and more agencies. He voted for DOE. And Santorum, well voting for more spending power and against states being right to work must be a small government person.

    Why must you think you need to get a right sided progressive elected to change the policies of the left sided progressives? They never do, no matter how much the campaign against something. GITMO, still open. Partiot act, made even MORE unconstitutional. Now in 4 or 5 wars, and even better, they weren't voted on by congress. You keep living in your fantasy world that those that support Paul, are secret Obama supporters. All the while those that support the other 3, support the same policies as Obama.

    There is no doubt Paul will pick up delegates, many states are proportional. But I too have doubt it will ever be sufficient to win the nomination.

    Paul's days are numbered.

    Now remember, if Paul and Newt can pick up enough to keep Romney from getting the majority before the election, then the game changes. I will be interested to see what happens at the end of this primary election.

    I agree, the convention should prove very interesting.

    Paul will be on his way to Texas to begin his quiet retirement in a nice Lake Jackson nursing home.

    So you're voting for obama no matter what happens. Typical of many Paulobots. Illogical thinking at its finest.

    You slobber over a washed up old failure and idolize him over obama, but if he isn't the Republican Nominee, you all will either NOT VOTE [un-American] or vote for obama. [unsound]

    And you expect to be taken seriously? Maybe by other children, not sentient adults.

    Yes, thank you. Perhaps you're finally catching on that our most important FIRST step is to get obama out. Romney has done some things that reflect well on his record and he carries some baggage. Gingrich also has done some things that reflect well on his record and he carries some baggage. Santorum is out of his league. Paul claims that he has always voted his conscience, AS EVERY POLITICIAN EVER, CLAIMS AND CAN PROVE TO HIS SUPPORTERS. Otherwise Paul is all baggage, NOTHING in his record of any achievement of anything he "stands" for.

    And obama's record by itself is the most negative political ad ever written in the history of mankind. So YES, my priority is getting him sent home. THEN we will start cleaning up his mess.

    Sorry to break the news to you, sponsoring a big government, statist bill and getting it passed is no "achievement".

    So how many "achievements" have your guys really had ? none!
    What's more, they are proven corporatist whores.

    Of course, political tools do value winning over principle. Makes 'em feel like they have a team.

    No,being a slobbering idolator of an old man that has never delivered on even one of his ideals is hypocrisy at its finest. And almost semi-intelligent.

    If you wish to start a new thread, go ahead. This one is about Paul. There is no similarity between Paul and Lincoln other than being close to the same age.

    Oh but I think there is...

    1831 - Failed in business
    1832 - Ran for state legislature
    1833 - Went bankrupt...spent 17 years trying to recover
    1838 - Ran for Speaker of the State and lost
    1840 - Ran for Congress and lost
    1848 - Ran for re-election to Congress and lost
    1849 - Ran for Land Officer in his own state and lost
    1854 - Ran for Senate of the U.S. and lost
    1856 - Ran for VP and received less than 100 votes
    1858 - Ran for U.S. Senate again and lost
    1860 - Elected President and became one the best presidents this country has had

    So according to you any person that fails is not fit for the presidency...I guess you must think Abraham Lincoln was crazy too huh...

    No I don't think Lincoln was crazy, and I never in any way inferred that Paul was crazy. Others have, not me. I have only said that Paulobots are illogical and crazy. Paul on the other hand has had an extremely successful career in the House of Representatives doing nothing for 3 decades. He has succeeded in being a POLITICIAN, and getting naive idealists to believe empty talk has some value. It does not! CRAZY to think so.

    Lincoln stuck to his principles and had a hard time establishing himself as a viable candidate.....does that sound familiar to a current candidate?

    What is illogical is stating that people you have never met or are even aware of specifically are 'crazy'.

    You are making matter-of-fact statements about people you have near-zero first hand knowledge of.

    And you honestly expect people to take your opinion on this seriously?

    I was.

    Actually, if he ever were nominated....I can think of several groups that would want to assassinate him.

    Organized crime for one (for his legalizing drugs policy).
