    I think that if Ron Paul doesn't get the presidential office, it will be a bad blow to the world, and you'll have missed out on a great president. Like it or not the rest of the world will be affected by this, and if Ron Paul doesn't win I think it can only be bad news.

    Sorry to let you know, but Ron Paul dropped out of the race. he was one of my favorite candidates. i may not even vote now. not too many good choices.

    no reason to vote now.... you'd just be voting for either bad or worse...


    Hey I wanted so badly for Ron Paul to win... it all just fell apart after New Hampshire... all the forward momentum just dried up and fizzled out... I still can't believe that the state with the motto "live free or die" chose Hillary Clinton and John McCain... that is almost absurd.

    America, with the help of Mainstream Media, has chosen Obama, Hillary, and McCain.....

    And they deserve Obama, Hillary, and McCain...

    No he did not drop out. The media reported that he did, and many people went along with it. Ron Paul is still in the race, though he stands absolutely no chance of winning, absent a miracle. Only those who are hand-picked by the establishment stand a chance of winning, and we know who they are.

    I think Paul is an establishment shill like all the other candidates...He just does not know he is being used as the "lone gun man" type character, since Americans are known as people who like those kind of characters.

    that sort of faulty logic would earn you a spanking from Aristotle. Basically what you're saying is anyone who is liked is a government shill... and while its possibly true its this kind of thinking that leads us into conspiracy theory land and nibiru destroying us all in 2012

    And I wish monkeys would ride out of my arse on unicycles.

    Which is just about as likely.

    my basic point is: be weary.

    Americans love the "lone gun man" riding off into the sunset, to save us all.

    Yah, he is black balled by all media outlets, on the surface. But the handlers at the top are always thinking of clever ways to decieve larger numbers of people spanning more and more demographics. In other words, the folks who have sort of woken up. Simply focusing on Paul as our one hope is quite possibley a waste of time.

    But do what you will.

    If elected, there would still be to much corruption around him.

    Ok why don't you do a little research on this guy Ron Paul and then tell me he's a corporate shill.

    He's been fighting for the same thing and the same ideals all his political life... no flip flopping.....

    He never ever accepted any corporate donations

    It isn't just coincidence that Kucinich, Gravel, and Ron Paul were all blackballed.

    Ron Paul isn't corruptable. He NEVER voted to raise Congressional pay.

    He has NEVER taken a government paid Junket

    He does not take part in the Gov't pension program


    Now, how exactly is he a shill or a "lone gun man"?

    He was also a bit of a crackpot and had ties to the extreme and/or paranoid right.
