I happen agree with alot of what Ron Paul says. The sad thing is that he will never even be given the opportunity to be a serious candidate. Today, the only possible way to win the Republican nomination is to toe the party line and to not rock the boat. It’s ashame that this is the way it is. I wonder if Ronald Reagan would be able to get his message across today seeing as how he didn’t toe the party line either.
Nothing sad about the fact that Paul's forays into nutbattery keeps most people from taking him seriously. It shows there is still hope for this country against the threat we face.
We shall see, there is a very intense national grass roots effort working in his favor, which I suspect will eventually translate into some sort of movement in the polls. For example, here is a recent article, front page in today’s Las Vegas Review Journal, appearing as a result of the efforts of our local Las Vegas Ron Paul meetup group:

This sort of stuff is happening across the country, see the 2nd article in post 7.
Ron Paul is NO Ronald Reagan! You didn’t hear Reagan suggesting we ‘disengage’ from the Cold War and let the rest of the world go on its way while we went on ours. Paul may be fiscally conservative (though his own earmarks suggest differently) but he is NOT like Reagan. Reagan had vision and encouraged the best in us. Not so Ron Paul.
I tend to agree with those who believe he might be the Perot of this race should he decide to run as an independent or libertarian..which is what he was initially before becoming a republican.
