I think he will be a huge factor in this race because he's probably the only candidate right now with a national, grassroots organization in place. He's not buying everything like Romney, or running from behind like Pawlenty. I'm still not convinced I can see a path for Paul to win the nomination, but he will have a tremendous impact in this race and will make a lot of Republicans take stands on issues they don't want to take.
No more Puppet Presidents controlled by criminals.
We all know what the corrupt media is paid to do.

Paul is a cranky old isolationist geezer with an odious penchant for anti-Israeli (some say antisemitic) leanings. He's divisive and lacking in leadership or charisma with no legislative accomplishments. Very uninspiring.
Perhaps his best political contribution is his son. But, that's not a qualification to be President.

Ron Paul is the only consistent realist of the bunch, who understands to the core the nature and extent of the trouble our country is in and the fundamental principles that are required to get back on course. If that isn't sufficiently inspiring then we are in real trouble. Just hide under a rock and peek out every now and again in hopes of espying a Messiah. But there are none because there are no religious solutions to this $14.3 trillion mess.

Paul reminds me of a creepy old undertaker. The young slackers who support him all seem like losers.

Its worthy of note that even in Blogs like this there seems to be no allegations against Ron Paul's honesty. How many of the other prospective candidates are that vlean?

Ron Paul has been in the House since the Carter administration and has accomplished the following:
Nothing.
Perhaps that's by design. He may be simply to brilliant for ordinary day to day congressional work. In which case he should have given up his seat long ago to someone who's willing to do the job.

It doesn't matter that Paul is in. No one is going to stop the Trump juggernaut.
The Donald is the real deal!

The key to electoral victory is being willing to curse. I'm willing to tell those motherf'ing Chinese and motherf'ing Saudis what their motherf'ing going to do. You hear me, f'ers?
TRUMP 2012
F You!

We haven't seen this kind of strength since Dick Cheney told Leahy to go f*ck himself. A president who motherf*cks both our adversaries and our allies would be highly entertaining. We could put cameras in the White House and make a Trump administration into a reality show. The proceeds could be used to pay down the national debt.
TRUMP 2012, indeed!
Trump is no crazier and no more out of his depth than any of the other potential Republican presidential candidates. And he is far more entertaining.
TRUMP 2012!

Actually, Trump has not really declared if he will run as a Republican or a Democrat.
What if he primaries m'fing Obama? That would be f'ing outrageous and more fun than than a barrel of monkeys.
Come to think of it, it would be a barrel of monkeys.

I wish I could still support Ron Paul but he surrounds himself with too many absolute wack jobs like Jack Hunter and other neo-Buchananites. Sorry. Oh and the conspiracy theories sound like something out of a David Icke book.

Quoted from Sancho- "The Donald is the real deal!"
BWAAAHAHHAHAAAA!
Ahem, keep your heads in the sand, friends. Ron Paul will either win the election in 2012 or you will wish he did in 2016.
