I guess I should also take this moment to bring up the position that I think there are better candidates out there than Ron Paul, I just feel that Ron Paul just seems to have the strongest grass roots following and is there for more exposed.
I would say that time would be better spent researching younger candidates that have the same goals as Ron Paul and starting to give them exposure. If we take this approach I feel that by 2020 the grass roots will have found a viable candidate that everyone can somewhat agree upon and put all their money behind that one person. Then at that point it is just about marketing the candidate.

Sorry man, but IMO, the frequency of Ron Paul threads has exceeded SPAM proportions. I HATE having anything shoved down my throat like this and wouldn't vote for the guy just because of stuff lile this.
Enough already!

ok so he gets elected. Then what? do you guys honestly believe that those who are above him will let him do whatever reformations he wants? Forget about it. they will just take him out.
And to those who believe in "voting" - let me tell you, that elections are over before they even start. Its all predetermined
Ending the wars, yes. Ending the Drug War, yes. Restoring constitutional liberty to America, yes. Now will the wealthy elite let him do these things? They're going to try real hard to stop him, that's for sure.

I agree with you here, there was a recent thread about the origins of the banksters and how they have influenced our presidential elections and killed presidents that threaten the Federal Reserve, and Ron Paul is one of them. They will use every trick in the book to try and stop him. The people who run the Federal Reserve are behind all of this biased MSM garbage, and there is a good chance that they will try to assassinate him if he is elected as president. I just hope he wears a bulletproof vest underneath his bulletproof presidential suit.
Forget about it. they will just take him out.
What makes you say that? I definitely believe that the canditates themselves are bought out and predetermined (Ron Paul excluded), but I don't believe that the voting system is completely bought out too yet.

People just need to wake up to the fact that although I agree with a lot of Ron Paul's stances and whatnot, he will only compound our problems.

What I think it comes down too is that people are looking to put their faith in a person they think can "save" them from (what they think is) the impeding doom.
Ron Paul isn't going to save you the same as those other presidential candidates aren't going to save you. I understand the want and need for things to be turned around, but in order to get the whole ship turned around it will take congress too.
Sure the president can bring the troops home with the stroke of a pen, and then congress can band together and have charges trumped up on him and have him removed from being president. Clinton was impeached(not convicted) for getting sexual gratification not from his wife. What makes you think they can't piece something together for any president?
You need to realize that you are dealing with a machine not just one person, and replacing one cog in the machine might make is run not as smoothly but it will still truck on down the tracks.
