You're wrong on all points. First of all, Dr. Paul is probably the only REAL Republican in Congress. Why should he leave. It is the rest of the members that have betrayed the Republican Party, not him.

To declare himself as an independent would have cost him his position in the Gov.
If he's the only true republican in the republican party, why didn't he say so?? He could step up and denounce the republican party as a sham and create a new republican party. But he stays. He doesn't do anything concrete about it. Believe me I know what he's saying about' the truth'. Obama also knows about the truth, Kucinich also knows about the truth, but unless you can convert it into actions, it's useless. That is why Obama won, Obama had the discipline and the fire in the belly. I'm not saying he's a good man, simply that he's the winner of the two.
But only when Obama or Paul actually bring any good changes to America then I'll judge them as good man. Just I have stated, words are cheap.

Well, Dr. Paul is more than words. He delivered over 3,000 babies, many of them for FREE, because the mothers didn't have the money to pay a doctor. I would say that qualifies as actions that have positively changed America. Not only is Dr. Paul a patriot, he is a compassionate medical doctor, who cares for people, and has shown it.

Yet another great point Prof, i'm starring the crap out of you all over the place! Jazzy, this man truly cares about this country and the American people. Perhaps you should pick on someone more worthy of dissection? There are countless other targets, i.e. Obama, Bush, Clinton, Pelosi, Rumsfeld, Rove, Cheney. Give me a break man, this guy clearly wants to help us!!! If you want to put the blame on someone/something, put the blame on the corrupt system of government that we have had in place for decades and decades, k?

I have little respect for a man such as Ron Paul because he seems to talk a lot but don't do much.
He has a chance to be the president because he has record breaking endorsement but he doesn't step up and Obama beats him hands down on campaign discipline.
He's turtling in republican party which is in essence a divisive move, instead of trying to embrace america and ran as an independent. Running as an independent doesn't mean he would be betraying his value but he's adamant to run as a republican. It creates an impression that either it's his way or the highway.
He'll always be a food critique and not a chef because he never step up. To be a critic is easy, to be a leader is hard. Instead of just sitting pretty inside republican party as a victim he should show leadership. He has no excuse.
He has that whining, I'm a victim, they (america or the republican) don't give me a chance mentality that I just don't like. The US need a good singer, not just someone who knows a good song.
