I havent voted in many elections for a long time... because there was never a good choice....Ron Paul is than only one that makes sense

When i was a kid.. people use to look up to America and now it has reversed...Yes a lot of people are mad at U.S. and its policies.. However, blaming everything on Terrorists for everything that happens is over done. Lets find out why they are mad at U.S. ...please read "The Secret History of the American Empire" by John Perkins... it opened my eyes.

Ron Paul is the only candidate worth voting for.

You say McCain is a liberal but what about Romney, Guiliani, or Huckabee? Those were the other guys that really had a chance in the race. Huckabee is a fiscal liberal, Romney and Guiliani are social liberals and don't have much experience. McCain has a 100 percent pro life stance...one of the most important issues...and Huckabee who's a tax increaser and fiscal liberal was the only other candidate that had a chance in the race. I predicted a McCain win as early as November of 07.

tom tancredo's answer on this question is FANTASTIC ! Too bad the Repub Party Base is so stupid and Gutless that they Nominated a Moderate Liberal Phony as in Mccain.

REPUB PARTY IN 08 = LIBERALISM, MORE OPEN BORDERS, SPANISH ENDORSING, HUGE SPENDING MONEY AND BIG GOVT.

You want a real true honest independent Constitutional Conservative ? VOTE ALAN KEYES and be Proud of your Vote

[ALANKEYES1]

DEANTE, Sad Fact is the Repub Party Base is NO longer truly Conservative, the Party Elites who run the Party as well as the Members are Now Moderate liberals, BUSH Nomination helped to ruin this Party and crush True Honest Conservativism.

Mccain is simply an Older BUSH except this time having a Military Background...but so what ? Mccain is a total Phony and a Liberal. As ALAN KEYES stated recently, the Party stands for practically Nothing anymore, so why Reward it ? VOTE ALAN KEYES !

[ALANKEYES1]

DEANTE, Great Question ! Lets go back to 00' and really think about this... How did a bumbling Elitist Moderate Liberal Open Borders Baffoon like BUSH get the Nomination ?

Here we had a man back in 00' Giving speeches and Campaign commercials in Spanish, and doing and saying NOTHING about TX being invaded by Illegal immigration. BUSH was the Least qualified out of all the Repub Nominees, yet he won based on pure Popularity and his Last Name, he has turned out to be a Disaster.

I thought McCain had the LEAST lasting impression. How the hell did he seal the nomination?

[undergroundpua2]

I hope Ron Paul kicks some ass

[iamthebs]

wow! Now go see the Patriot Act and the President is speechless by iamthebs!!!

[0Cazlon0]

What is the problem with these people!? they are going for president ?? unbelievable! There going to make a prison out of USA,In th futur the whole USA will be like Bigbrother, do Americans want that?

they are terrifying there the American citizens with the war on terror.

this makes me mad, though it made me think

I think Ron Paul is the only one who says it like the "whole" world sees it.

becoming energy independent could be compared to the race to put a man on the moon or the manhattan project, winning the race for a realistic alternative fuel may be the only thing that keeps America #1
