They can't make up their minds. Either RP will hurt the GOP candidates for the nomination. Or he'll hurt Hillary. Or he'll hurt the GOP nominee. He might even destroy the Grand Old Party completely.

Pretty evil for an elderly baby doctor.

Who knew that Ron Paul was so powerful?

[Jeff Head]

Actually, from what I have seen, Paul seems to be drawing at least as many out and out liberals to his cause as conservsatives and libertarians. In that, it seems he will hurt the Dems as much as anyone else.

I can say this about Paul, having met the man personally. He is NOT evil. He is NOT a whack. I disagree wholly with him on his stance on the Iraq war. But he is not against defending Ammerica as a whole, and most of his other stances on domestic issues, foreign policy, the border, and moral issues are much closer to my way of thinking that certainly any Democrat, as well as GOP candidates like Rudy.

But, we differ fundamentally on the war in Iraq and its good for our security and necessity in defeating the Islamic radicals. And for that reason I support Duncan Hunter and then Fred Thompson...in that order.

What is the media obsession with Ron Paul running as a third party candidate? He’s said repeatedly at every possible occasion that he’s not running as a third party candidate. He did once run on a third party ticket, so he knows exactly of what he speaks. And he’s already filed to run for his Congressional seat, which he’s said all along is “Plan B”.

Ron Paul is running for the Republican nomination. Lots of folks have been wracking their brains to figure out some crazy scenario in which a GOP primary candidate can hurt the eventual Republican nominee, but it just ain’t so. Either Ron Paul takes on the Hildabeast in November (and IMO he would be one of the hardest candidates for her goon squad to throw mud at), or he goes back to voting “no” in Congress. Period, end of story.

Ron Paul’s candidacy doesn’t approach even long shot status. Paul has no chance of winning the nomination. Just another campaign effort that is helping to fragment the GOP further.

If I know Rooty, he’s loving every minute of it. Whether it was his intention or not, the obvious split among conservatives continues to be working in his favor.

If conservatives want to knock Rooty off, they must unite around one candidate during the primary election phase. The fact that Paul is not that candidate should come as no surprise.

Paul just broke $9 million dollars for the 4Q!

Ron Paul spammers and google-bombers should be arrested and charged with Internet stalking and harassment.

[Thoreau]

I’ve been around here about 10 years and Ron Paul used to be revered around this site. Gosh what happened to the conservative movement. Just another big government socialist party...sigh.

[DugwayDuke]

“I will suggest that Paul may fatally damage several potential candidates, and perhaps the entire Republican Party,”

I believe that fatal damage to the entire Republican party is the objective of the hardcare Ron Paul supporters.

[MNJohnnie]

Guess someone best point out to the Paulbots that Paul has all ready run for President as a 3rd party candidate once before.

How did that work out for you?

I know, don't bother the Paulbots with facts, they have their dogma and they are clinging too them.

By running as a third-party candidate.

That won't happen.

But it might also mean a true remake of the Republican Party for the future.

That won't happen either.
