    I have one question for all the die hard Ron Paul lovers...

    Would you trust such an emotionally driven man with the codes to the U.S. nuclear arsenal?

    Thats why Ron Paul could never be president.

    I don't think that's why.

    I think most people just realized he didn't stand for anything except anarchy dressed up nice and respectable.

    He wasn't allowed to win because he doesn't kiss AIPAC's ass.

    Yep. AIPAC made people not vote for him.

    That's gotta be it, right? If not for AIPAC, people would have been out to vote for him in droves. Herds of millions of people at a time flocking to the polls.

    Please. Media has a huge influence on elections. Why do you think Ron Paul was dismissed and ignored by the media? Do a little research and find out how many people are in Congress that don't kiss AIPAC's ass. You can count them on one hand.

    He was dismissed because he was a fringe candidate that most people weren't paying attention to. That's why the media dismissed all the others too, from all the political parties. You can harp about the media all you want and cry foul, but this is the internet age, and the age of hundreds of cable and satellite TV channels. Paul supporters were/are vocal and visible.

    Your candidate lost because he's an extremist and most people don't want that. Ignoring that will only serve to make your new candidate of choice lose as well, which you'll probably blame on AIPAC/media/Illuminati/whatever too. Ron Paul might stand a chance if things were really bad and he had a way of communicating that made people feel better. They aren't and he doesn't. Ron Paul was a man who stood and said nothing when his supporters were cheering for the deaths of people who can't pay for their hospital bills, and this after I've been told how generous and awesome Ron Paul is/was as a practicing doctor. People don't like that. People may complain about having their tax money pay for those who can't, but they tend to draw the line at letting people simply die.

    In any case, Ron Paul is retired, and may actually be more effective in that role than he was as a candidate.

    Emotionally driven?

    You mean like the emotion that drives people to assume that our banking system isn't completely corrupted, when I can offer sourced fact after fact, that shows that not only is it corrupted, but a criminal organization.

    Or the emotions it takes to justify murder to protect economic interests?

    What kind of emotion does it take to choose fear over conscience son?

    If being a "fringe" candidate means you are opposed to robbing the American people of their money, opposing wars fought on behalf of foreign nations, asking for an audit of the nation's central banking system, and are in favor of letting free people live their lives the way they see fit, then I'll vote for a "fringe" candidate every time.

    exactly.All these Romney apologist fools also always ignore the FACTS thats why he could not get elected which is why they ignore the FACTS as well that the RNC made up last minute rule changes that sabotoged his strategy to win the republican nomination.they did not care if Obama or Romney was president,just as long as it was not Paul.

    He did not become president because we dont elect these people,they are selected for us by the establishment.that fact goes ignored EVERYTIME by the apologists.

    He is a good American, probably one of the few honest men in the mainstream.

    He would not let America go on being the golem for Israel, so you were not allowed to have him.

    Indeed, these people that you bend over backwards for, for some unknown reason, they slander him..

    Yada yada yada always this.

    You still completely ignore the fact that the candidate who got the most votes, won.

    People didn't vote for Paul. They didn't cast their votes for others because they weren't allowed to vote for Paul, they voted for others because they didn't want to vote for Paul. You can blame the media all you want, but no matter how much kicking and screaming people with your viewpoint do, you can never NEVER change the fact that at the end of the day, people voting in the primaries didn't want your candidate. If they had, Paul would have been the nominee, or at the very least, would have received more votes than he did. He didn't. He lost the same way Santorum, Bachmann, Gingrich, Perry, Cain, and Huntsman Jr. lost. You see, none of those candidates received enough votes either.

    For you to make the case that people weren't allowed to vote for Paul, you're going to have to show that a majority of people DID vote for him and he lost anyway. Otherwise, you're just creating excuses to make yourself sleep better at night.

    Your post is reads nothing but ignorance do some research you've done nothing but attack him, and everything you say is based on opion. He wasn't extremist, it's because he followed the Constitution, and our founding fathers principles which is against the Power Elites interest. He wouldn't just let people die you idiot, he was referring to having those people under care of volunteer health care services such as churches use to do. Ron Paul would only stand a chance if he became a sell out like all the criminal politicians. The media is controlled by the power elite, and they pick who they want in political power that best protect their interest. We don't have a Representative govt., the republic is gone, The Media dismissed him because he was the one to bring down their whole corrupted system, bring justice to those criminals. Dismantle their influence, and their power. The elite FEARED him.

    Ron Paulism ...is a cult. Sub some religious dogma for his Randian libertarianism....and there is NO difference.

    Every other aspect of his following....is down the line cultism.

    Look who it is, the Great Dujac the biggest progressive troll on this forum. Nut case? name calling, best tactic for ignorant progressives. He's accomplished more in his lifetime than you'll ever will. Take a good look at yourself in the mirror for the definition of nut case. You live on this forum, diehard Obamabot, and when ever you lose a argument or can't back it up best line you always use "You don't know what you're talking about." or resort to name calling. I won't be surprised you use your computer seat as a toilet, that's how much you troll on this forum. That video, is a true ideal American, one who has balls. Unlike people like who hide behind a computer screen, and keyboard. Yeah he didn't win becoming president but his supporters are slowly taking over the republican party.

    What a surprise the progressive liberal troll, in his delusional thinking we live in a fairytale America. Starting debates that never end by giving them the run around of retarded progressive logic. Can't argue with facts or common sense logic but resorting to name calling.

    Ron Paul is alright. He's the lesser of many evils given the government exists at all.

    To answer your question I'd take Ron Paul's finger on the button over Obama, Bush II, Clinton, Bush I, Reagan (especially!), Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnson, Kennedy, Eisenhower or Truman. Any day of the week. Because he's a non-interventionist.

    You might think his ideas are silly, but you can't deny he's at least principled. At the very, very least more so than the alternatives. Principle is good, it means stability and predictability. All these hazy consequentialists are the real unpredictable ones!

    "Democracy is like an old ugly hooker who must drop her drawers faster and
    faster for less and less."

    The true patriot is doing everything possible to encourage the financial and
    social/racial meltdown of America. Otherwise the decline and rot of a
    third-world cesspool. Bring it on! The sooner the better!
