Ron Paul... Mysterious accident?

I for one love this man he speaks nothing but truth and never waters down the issues nor takes sides and refuses to back down on his beliefs. This guy needs to be our next president I only wonder how long they are going to keep lettting this guy gain exposure before he is assaniated or the victim of some mysterious accident.

We need this man as president or somone else like him that is not afraid to tell the american people how it is.

For crying out loud don't broadcast it. If the American people gets behind him in support then we stand a chance. But please don't jinx it.

What are his social policies? Where does he stand on increased militarization? Will he raise taxes for the rich and lower them for the poor? How will he disassemble the national secutiry state? Will he even bother?

So far all i know about the guy is he talked about America's presence in the ME and linked it to the 9/11 attacks. That says more than Mr. Guilianni, but still doesnt outline his overall policies.

Well look it up on his web site.

does he know anything more than to talk against the nwo, thats all he seems to talk about.

only joking, he has no chance anyway, so why would they need to do such a thing. more people believe in the maunstream than in truths, so why would they be worried.

They'd achieve more if they set him up for a fall or one of the other candidates manage to discredit him somehow than making a martyr out of him. We'll see soon the usual positioning of mud slingers and the sort going onto FOX that's already biased against him anyway trying to sway public opinion what you won't see is Ron Paul himself being allowed a fair opportunity to explain himself.

What's surprising as well that he seems to be a real threat and this early as well is merely a shock and awe candidate that won't be able to go the distance?

I like Ron Paul, he's honest and principled - which means he hasn't got a snowball's chance in Hell of getting the nomination

Plus he's been an outspoken opponent the Iraq War since the beginning, which means the GOP leadership will do anything to keep him out of the spotlight.

The big media talking heads already take any chance they can get to portray him as a nut - they know what side their bread is buttered on

Then I guess you didn't hear that the GOP removed its petition on removing Ron Paul? They were so swamped with calls and emails they didn't know what to do.
This morning they withdrew their complaint.

Well that's certainly good news.

On the other hand I still don't think he can count on any support from the power brokers within the party - his platform simply threatens the status quo too much.

He won't I'm sure but whats the best way of getting attention though but sign up a a republican then start to wreck havic within? Which caused this hugh back lash on the GOP party. Now we're infected with a "truth virus" based on Fox News. And based on a map there's many that support Ron Paul.

After Paul's statement I thought Rudy was gonna have a heart attack. That the US has to rethink foriegn policy in the Middle east.

Well, right now they're simply trying to put dirt on him and make believe as though he didn't exist, but many people are getting to know him through the internet and he's gaining a lot of momentum and I am a little bit afraid that they may try to harm him once he gets very popular.

First and foremost, it's interesting that Ron Paul's views fall more in line with the definition of a Republican than every other candidate out there. It becomes depressing when your logic tells you that the only true Republican doesn't stand a chance in the Republican primaries. Tells you something about how blurred the two party lines have become.

Ron Paul was previously registered as Libertarian. He is running as a Republican because this allows him to appear in the debates. Even though he doesn't get as much time to speak as the heavy hitters, he gets a lot more opportunity just being there. This is creating quite a buzz for him.

He'll get killed in the Republican primaries, but he expects that. What he is doing right now is garnering support from DEMOCRATS who won't vote for Hillary in the general election.

After the primaries, Ron Paul will re-enter the general race as an Independent or a Libertarian, and he'll shoot right to the top of either of those parties based solely on the amount of buzz he has been creating in the GOP.

I'm not saying he will win, but i think a lot of people will be surprised at the number of votes he receives. I don't think he'll hit 18% like Ross Perot, but he will probably take enough votes from the Democratic candidate to really make things murky.
