    South Carolina can have him. Because I'm sure many in Washington don't. Especially seeing as how many of the leading republicans in Congress today are the same people who muscled Gingrich out of office back in the 90's.

    Sonny when I talk about GOOD shape, I'm talking about jogging for hours with a full pack, a few M-60 belts and regular ammo. A full pack is over 100 lbs.

    I'm not talking about trying to touch your toes 5 times. And once again, what WAS is no more. At age 50 I know that no matter who you are or what kind of shape you've EVER been in, I could run you into the ground because there is nothing you could do to make me quit. But I also know from actually living it that the 70's are not the 50's. Not an opinion, not a denial of reality, firm knowledge from my body reporting in. You will learn.

    Its not about me, its about Paul. He has now finished 4 in SC. Paul so far has 1 second. Santorum, Gingrich, and Romney all have wins. Paul has a distant second. Paul's next second place will come in VA. Only because he can't finish 3rd or 4th.

    My prediction is, and has been all along, that Paul will not last through the entire primary process. He will be asked to bow out this week. Will he? Doesn't matter when, he will quit. He always does.

    He'll only quit when he's run out of money and not before. He's not trying to win. He's just being a killjoy.

    Oh how choice.Now it's the electorate that it is to blame.
    To be expected.I bet when the book on Pops Paul is written it will
    read that the Public just wasn't ready for such a Great thinker like
    Pops.That Pops was too ahead of his time.Too deep.Too much a
    problem solver.
    No ... actually the guy is a so-so politician.12 terms and for what.
    Need I digress.

    Srsly Dude. You said you can't even walk up 3 flights of stairs. Time to bow out of this line of argument.
    Why do you pretend to know about other people? You could run me into the ground? Bizarre.

    Beating pbama is not the most important thing believe it or not. The most important thing is that beating pbama makes a difference.

    I said when I was 50 and I know I could because I'd die before losing. Paul challenged the other candidates to a race. If you paid attention instead of wallowing in adoration of an empty talker, they HAD a race. It was held in Iowa. A young Santorum ran a marathon all over the state meeting people and shaking hands while Paul had a big lead. Santorum WON that race. The old man faded to 3rd. That is the kind of race that is REAL, not the kind that is blowhard empty talk. Paul's forte'.

    Did you just equivocate an actual physical race in the athletic sense to a campaign?

    Paul has no support like he said he had..No military vote..no Conservative vote..and only slightly more Independents than Romney..

    In a week if he endorses MITT ROMNEY he can still have a place at the table..If you think Newt Gingrich would give him that..wow...sell me some of that barn yard hemp.ENDORSING ROMNEY WHEN HE NEEDS IT MOST Gives PAUL leverage later.

    1/4 price of course. :twisted:

    Try to keep up. Paul challenged his rivals to downplay his old age. Santorum beat the hell out of Paul with marathon campaigning in Iowa. That was a race, Paul, as always, lost.

    If the amount of time spent campaigning in Iowa was that relevant to the outcome then Romney should have been at the bottom and Bachmann at the top. Paul is a loser? Odd, how many times has he lost his congressional seat by 18 points? You shouldn't be so condescending, the nominee is going to need a bulk of Paul supporters to win no matter how much they pretend like only truthers and potheads support him.

    I'm curious how much support Paul would receive from conservatives if his only change in position was that he wanted to bomb the hell out of Iran.

    Why is everyone making a big deal out of South Carolina? It is a social conservative state and social conservatives are not known to be thinkers. Its no wonder they supported Newt.

    Oh you mean like the 12 times he won a seat in congress.....

    So basically what you said is BS.

    This country is in the (*)(*)(*)(*) morally so it doesn’t surprise me that a good man like Ron Paul gets treated this way.

    Once a cheat always a cheat....and Newt is a cheat.

    Yes the 12 times he got elected in his small congressional district while claiming he was/is FOR term limits. Care to mention when he tried for the Senate and lost to a brand new ex-Democrat Republican, or the other 2 times he ran for president and won nothing and dropped out. These are FACTUAL records, not childish fantasy's because he says words you like. I like his words too. I hate his total failure to IMPLEMENT his words in ANY effective way.

    Her talks the talk but he couldn't walk the walk with a GPS and a map and a guide and a Hoveround Power Chair. THAT IS his record. No better than obama's. Just talk, no positive action.

    Someone asked me that already here. http://www.politicalforum.com/latest-world-news/227529-ron-paul-building-up-something-big.html

    I listed a bill there.

    What most dont get is that we dont vote for paul for supporting a larger governmnent, increase spending, ignoring the constitution and attacking our bill of rights. He doesnt and he doesnt tickle the nuts of special interest groups either. All the other candidates have shown to do just that.

    You listed NO BILL that Paul got passed that had anything to do with any one of his major talking points. He has had a Memorial Library, or Monument bill passed that he sponsored. No major bill. You listed one bill that DID pass and DID become law. That bill Paul DID NOT SPONSOR, and PAUL DID NOT VOTE FOR IT.

    You evidently vote for Paul to waste your vote on a has been that never was and never will be. And FAR TOO many Paulobots say they will vote for obama if Paul is not the candidate.
    Some of us cannot tolerate that kind of childish idiocy.

    IF Paul could do many of the things he claims he stands for [and then violates with his actions] I would vote for him. But he can't do what he says he wants to do.

    Paul is "building up" for retirement before the primaries are over.

    As opposed to your boys who continually get bills passed promoting larger governmnent, increase spending, ignoring the constitution and attacking our bill of rights.

    No sense standing up against the gang of whores, when you can just vote for one and feel like a winner.

    It is not Paul's yes votes that make his Congressional tenure remarkable, its the exact opposite which makes it admirable.

    Glad to see you gave up the "Paul is old and tired" crap.

    And exactly how many delegates did Santorum win?



    Hold on. "Small congressional district"? Weird. Why would you say that?

    Santorum won as many delegates as Paul. NONE, "officially" yet. That won't be "officially" known until June when Paul will have retired in defeat.

    Why small? Because TX has 32 Congressional Districts. They are not large by TX populations, maybe large compared to Rhode Island. When Paul tried to become a Senator, ONLY 2 OF THEM, he was soundly thrashed in the primaries. He couldn't even win HIS party's primary against a brand new Democrat/Republican.

    TIME will prove ALL Paulobots totally WRONG! You can all scream at me, I'll just laugh and wait until I'm proved right and that outcome is 100% certain.
