After stabbiing our troops in the back, "he is dead to me".

I would vote for Ron Paul, but he is invested in defeat in Iraq, so I can't.

[Clara Lou]

I could wish him luck, but that would be a waste of a wish--if I wanted to wish him luck.

We need a warrior when we are at war and not an accountant. Ron Paul is more like an accountant than a warrrior, and he is a coward that turned his back on our troops. If Ron Paul had his way, Saddam would still be in power because he voted against the Iraq war resolution.

Wouldn't he AND Duncan Hunter have to relinquish their House seats to run...???

If a tree falls in the forest and no one gives a flip... Did Ron Paul really announce?

[kjo]

Exactly. Extreme Libertarians are at heart, selfish.

[LS]

Guess he and Duncan Hunter and Tancredo can now split that one percent.

[Lakeshark]

Soon he'll crack the all important threshold of greater than .01 per cent name recognition.................

Please pardon the typo. It should have been 2007.

After stabbiing our troops in the back, "he is dead to me".

That did not happen, and he is quite alive.

[The_Eaglet]

According to Texas law, Paul would not. I don't know about Hunter.

[dc-zoo]

RP is wasting his time and ours with this foolish announcement.

[italianquaker]

He will soon be walking the same path as that another pres candidate dynamo vislack(sic) and thnx for selling out the troops fella hmmmm

[The_Eaglet]

I consider it a valuable service. He needs a veto pen to stop the waste of our tax dollars.

[JB in Whitefish]

Well, I think the FEDERAL law is that you can't run for two offices at once and Congressmen are ALL up for renewal concurrent with the presidential race to my understanding....
