He has some kooky ideas, but he also has lessons for the GOP contenders.

Ron Paul is no compassionate conservative. His supporters love him for it.

If there's been a phenomenon in this Republican presidential race, it's been the strength of a fiery doctor from Texas and his message of limited government. As the GOP front-runners address crowds of dispirited primary voters, Mr. Paul has been tearing across the country, leaving a trail of passionate devotees in his wake.

Paul rallies heave with voters waving placards and shouting "Liberty! Liberty!" Money is pouring in from tens of thousands of individual donors--so much cash that the 10-term congressman recently admitted he wasn't sure he could spend it all. A fund-raising event on Guy Fawkes Day (in tribute to Mr. Paul's rebel persona) netted his campaign $4 million, the biggest one-day haul of any GOP candidate, ever. He continues to inch up in the early primary polls, and even bests Fred Thompson in New Hampshire.

This is rather odd as I think about it. A guy who's not even American and has no concern for its citizens is putting so much breath into Ron Paul's balloon. Why? He wants the US. out of the Mid-East/Arab world.

That's why the Saudis are own a stake in and influence FUX "news." That's why they're so happy to promote the tea baggers, who are also supported by FUX "news".

Wow, you people aren't very discrete at all. Americans are just that easily fleeced, that's why you don't need to be!

I'm going to vote for Barry Goldwater, but unfortunately he's been dead for awhile. I guess Ron Paul is kind of like Goldwater except they wouldn't really agree on foreign policy. So I'll just vote for Fred Thompson since I do believe in preventing genocide.

A CAMPAIGN JUNKY asked a rehab MANAGER how you determine if a Campaign Junky should be rehabbed

Well said the MANAGER we fill up a bathtub then offer a teaspoon a teacup and a bucket to the CAMPAIGN JUNKY and ask him to empty the bathtub

Oh I understand said the CAMPAIGN JUNKY

A LIBERAL would use bucket because it's bigger than spoon or teacup No said the Director

A Libertarian would pull the plug

Do you want a bed near the window?

OR FOR VOTE FOR RON PAUL.

[Brak2002]

A cup with that only contains half a cup of water is...

CONSERVATIVES: "half full"

LIBERALS: "half empty"

LIBERTARIANS: "an example of shortages caused by government control of our water supply"

COMMUNISTS: "an example of inequitable wealth distribution caused by the inherent social injustice in free enterprise"

wsj isolationism opinion is purely GOP stance. Repubs are forfeiting 2012 for obama second term, Repubs lost everything after forstern teeeebagrrrrz. the people who call the shots in iowa are blacks and latinos, who would you think will give his vote to Gingrich there, remember Iowa 2008 obama landslide victory. guess who was no ono of gop mike huckbee where is he now? in Israel begging zionazis not send him back to another gop circus. ron paul is not a premise but a surprise

[Mummificationify]

Governor Mitt Romney is a RINO. He supports stringent gun laws. His Health care overhaul pales in comparison to the atrocity of Obamacare, but it was similar. He has never expressed public regret for this. He told Michigan residents at an event there that the financial services bailout was absolutely necessary. He stated you said that the Republican Party needs to pass "immigration reform" (amnesty) for new voters. He’d vote for Obama! watch?v=jPGnJmbDq08

West, Huckabee, Palin, Bachmann, Paul

Nice to hear a fresh and insightful opinion on these matters. After Caribou Barbie's interview the other night where she basically called Mr. Obama a wuss for not bowing down to his AIPAC/Zionist overlords and immediately attack Iran (where 25,000 Jews live btw) , she has clearly shot herself in the foot. Then she pulls in a snake-eyed Ashkenazi named Bachmann or something, with Sean ZioNAZI Hannity running the interviews? WTF?! Vote: Ron Paul

[Twisteddreamer78]

@Brak2002 So the founders wouldn't agree with Goldwaters foreign policy?

Ron Paul is almost a mirror image of Jefferson with a little Adams thrown in.

So if Ron Paul disagrees with Goldwaters foreign policy than so would the founders and therefore so do I.

What about foreign aid to hostile countrys? Regardless due to the state of the world with political correctness running rampant, the US it'self is responsible for letting our enemys in... You hear about the mighty Jihadi airforce all the time. (sarcasm)
