#40Non-big gov candidates have a chance when the internet exceeds the influence of traditional media IMO. A lot of our parents are starting to use the internet heavily vs 4 years ago. The less of the old timer repubs watching Fox News the sooner he has a chance. If not this year, I think one of his sons will run in 2016 and replay his message.
I wish serious minded citizens would awaken to his call. Sure he can be elected, but he needs help. If those voters that keep repeating "he can't win," would all vote for Paul; he's in like Flynn.
Poor, dumb, young people [okay, the real dumb ones] listen to too much political garbage and believe it! That is a major issure for an underdog like Paul!
Wake up! You do not have to be obligated to vote for one Party's candidate. In reality, that is pure stupidity.
Anyone who votes a straight ticket, is practically mindless.
QUESTION ...Why is Ron Paul the only man to state unequivocally, "get all our troops home asap?"
Right. He set up Ron pretty good showing that smooth talking politicians with no record don't do what they say. Who knows, maybe he'll make some noise this year.Comment -

There are other folks like Gary Johnson but Ron Paul has gotten traction because he talks and predicts the financial issues in congress.

In the US "big government" programs like social security and federal student loans have enormous popularity that will not be changed by people clicking on a Rand Paul website. There is too much public goodwill for these programs, and most learned people would argue rightly so.
Libertarian zealotry about laissez faire economics (which is largely unpopular) will not undo the situations in which laissez faire economics leads to disastrous results. For example, in markets that contain finite resources, libertarian policies virtually guarantee the destruction of that market because it only takes one participant acting in his or her own best interest to deplete the resource. This has been proven in game theory studies that produce repeatable results, and it compliments real world observation and data. People who aren't libertarians won't be convinced that these economic facts are false. People who are libertarians will keep on preaching the cause in spite of them.Comment -

The above post is an example of why I think libertarianism is more of a religion than a political philosophy. Many libertarians operate under the premise that once people are exposed to their point of view they will be converted. However, it's a safe bet that increased internet use or increased promotion of the libertarian cause will not lead to large scale popularity because the principles libertarians take on faith (government regulation doesn't work, budgets should always be balanced, etc.) are often either wildly unpopular and/or disprovable.
In the US "big government" programs like social security and federal student loans have enormous popularity that will not be changed by people clicking on a Rand Paul website. There is too much public goodwill for these programs, and most learned people would argue rightly so.
IMO, it's the opposite. When Fox news stops scaring our grandparents into thinking we need to invade oil countries and we need their nuts photographed at the airport to stay safe they can be free thinkers. More about taking the blinders off than switching views.Comment -

#46I have been a huge supporter of FOXNEWS for ten years. However, when Bill O now states at the end of his show, "I'm looking out for you," I'm starting to lose respect for him and his show. Never could stand, over the top, Beck and Hannity, so Bill and Greta were the two I had full confidence in.
Well that's now changed with Bill. His complete and thorough dismissing of Ron Paul has shown his mind to be unchangeably, arrogant and condescending, in the field of politics. He is a powerful force on cable and news.
Too bad he cannot like live up to his so-called "fair and balanced" reputation.Comment -

Thanks to social security, public schools, grants and scholarships, it is likely my little sister will become an engineer. If it weren't for those social institutions, as well as child labor restrictions, I could see a much more unsavory future for her and my family.
Yes, America has serious flaws that need to be fixed. Ron Paul's stands against the wars on drugs and "terror" are a great start. However, the pace of technology and our standard of living owe a great deal to the stability of the big bad State. You want anarchy? Move to Somalia.Walter forgot... when you're desperate's when you got no choice.Comment -

#53Reread my posts in this thread... While I like Ron Paul (and similar minded people) voting (and the election process in general) is a waste of time and money if you are outside the chosen mainstream... Planting flowers on the side of the highway is more likely to bring about real change then supporting Ron Paul...Comment -

The Republicans have become the party of the far right. The ideas of small gov. and low taxes aren't enough anymore, you have to pander to the Christian coalition type of voter.
I'm not saying the left is better. I'm saying you have to be out there campaning with "gay marriage is wrong and abortion is bad" sound bites.
Add in the "Real Americans" and "Pass the ammunition" type of voters and who has time to get people to listen to "monetary policy" ideas.
Ron Paul is not a "I'd like to have a beer with him" type of fellow. That hurts him more than any of his ideas.Comment -

#60Big day tomorrow with the debate. He made a rare offensive today slamming Perry in this ad. For the first time the network is gonna put him in the main event fight as the dog. He'll be asked about Fema too in the middle of a bunch of natural disasters.

#66I love how Ron Paul got under Rick Perry's skin last night...
There's no freakout like a Ron Paul fan freakout. A meme has emerged on the PaulWeb that, during a commercial break in last night's Republican Presidential Debate, Gov. Rick Perry "assaulted" fellow Texan Ron Paul, "suddenly grab(bing)" Paul's forearm while "aggressively pointing his index finger towards the Congressman’s face." The only "source" for these allegations is an AP photo with a much blander caption, but that's just what you'd expect from the anti-Paul media, right?Comment -

The logic I believe I see in this, is, that John Q. Public is finally waking up and listening to the brilliance of Ron Paul.
