That's easy man...all you gotta do is change your party affiliation before the primaries in closed states (not all are closed to independents), you can change online, then change back after the primaries...we can ALL vote in the primaries
If the president had less control over the military, I would vote for Paul in a heartbeat. He just makes me too nervous when it comes to being decisive over crucial war decisions.

Ron Paul is not presidential material. The US seems to be headed for Soviet era style breakup. No need for an 80+ year old congressman who can only say I told you so. But thanks anyway.
I'm sorry but if people are basing their presidential candidate choice on the tone of their voice, they're idiots.
Yes he may be a level headed guy about 90 percent of the time ("atta boy") but it's that 10% ("uh oh") that discredits everything else he has already said.
Ok, so he raised the decibel level a bit in that video, but that voice of his is still too passive and mousy, that is the hidden element that is ruining it for him.
It just doesn't resonate and not very threatening, that's why I made the push over comment.
Have you ever known a woman that always prefers the bad boy?
Maybe it's their motherly instinct kicking in wanting to nurture and rehabilitate that bad boy image, but they never pick the level headed, nice guys because they don't need any help.
Same thing with Paul.
He comes across as a super nice guy and subcounsciously, that doesn't register with people quite well.
The only other person that has a mousier voice than Ron Paul is Harry Reid.

My cousin up in Montpelier, VT has told me that there is a very strong base of ‘Yankee Republican’ and anti-war activist support for Ron Paul throughout New England. He is a Democrat, voted for Bernie Sanders and Peter Welch, but said that since no important Democrats have anything to worry about in the primaries and that Obama has angered a lot of the anti-authoritarian Democrats who make-up New England that he, like many others, will be registering Republican to vote for Ron Paul.

Dude you are such an obvious troll. You're not even subtle any more, I think you've made it apparent to every person that's read your posts in the past couple days.
If people think Ron Paul's racist newsletters have been explained away, they are idiots
.
Obama's people cry racism in their sleep, this is not going away if Ron Paul ever faces him. Which means Ron Paul has the same chance as hell freezing over to beat Obama.
Who was cheerleading Obama last time around? Could it have been CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, Chicago Times, LA Times, New York Times etc. Yeah Obama's people will have free reign to shout racism as usual but this time it will be justifiable with proof.
Ron Paul has zero chance and even he must know this.
There is a conspiracy here, and you guys are on the wrong end of it. The halfwitted enablers, hahaha. In other similar circumstances, where people follow along to enable a hopeless cause in a devoted way, the term sheeple usually applies. I will refrain from using it though out of respect for the historical nature of politics where followers are needed, devotion is often a necessity and hopeless causes always end tragically in defeat.
