Can Americans actually elect somebody who is not rich and power hungry like Ron Paul?

Question

I hear the battle constantly
Republicans against Democrats.

Seems like football teams where people just generally back the party and not look at the individuals.

Face it the top contenders are ALL very rich.

That goes for Guiliani, Romney, Hillary, Obama, Edwards, McCain.

Then I see this great spark of truth in Ron Paul. He speaks absolute truth, Bill Maher called him his "hero". Jon Stewart even loves him.

Can people finally elect a president for the people and get that warped party shiznit out of their heads?

Last Election Bush vs. Kerry.

Both worth MILLIONS (not to mention members of skull and bones) and both nearly had very similar voting records.

We ALL need to make the Sean hannity types squirm in the media, we all need to make the rich politicans squirm as their game comes screeching to a halt.

Who will back me in voting for Ron Paul in the primaries?

Answer 1

After hearing his answers at the last Republican debate, where he blamed 9-11 on America and saying he would abolish the Home Land Security agency, I do not see him as a Traditionalist Conservative that the party wants.

Answer 2

Ron Paul is a Libertarian nut case. You are entitled to vote for whomever you like but don't get your hopes up as he doesn't have a chance. The Internet campaign his minions are engaged in is very irritating and creating more enemies for him than friends. I know it is a good cheap way to campaign but to much of anything is not good. If he was worth his salt he would have many donors and could afford regular TV commercials etc. like all the other candidates. The fact is that there are a few people who, for some reason, are gaga over him and they don't see the reality of it all. Anyway good luck and don't cry too hard when your candidate loses big time.

Answer 3

I even have been prepared on Ron Paul with the aid of fact the booklet of his speech, "Neo-Conned." Ron Paul won't get elected as president with the aid of fact he does not discover the money for at the back of him, and he refuses to sell his soul to the devil.

Answer 4

It's almost impossible for a poor man to run for the white house, he has to be able to afford to walk away from his life and job to hit the campaign trail, he has to have the money to keep his family going while he isn't working so he can campaign...

I cannot support Ron Paul, His head is wrapped up in conspiracy theories.

Answer 5

If Maher and Stewart can agree on ca Conservative and even like him, Ron Paul has already passed a hurdle.
If Americans truly want a change for the better vote Ron Paul. Listen to his videos if you have any doubt. He is intelligent and not bought and paid for.

Answer 6

While I don't agree with Ron Paul's views on Roe v Wade, I like enough of his other views that I would vote for him. Neither Republicans or Democrats seem to give a damn about the Bill of Rights. They are two sides of the same coin.

Answer 7

I can't vote for him in the Republican Primaries, I'm a Democrat. But if he runs against a dem I don't like I would vote for him.

Answer 8

NO

You have to be rich to afford all of the air time on TV, radio and all other forms of media. If you think your Ru Paul isn't rich, he's lied to you already.

Answer 9

You know Americans have stupidly set the stage so that only the rich and powerful can rule. For example, here in NYS a recent poll shows that people are not in favor for pay raises for State Legislature. They have not had a raise since 1999, if this were teachers or their own work people would be up in arms. Without doing such things, only the rich can run in America.

Answer 10

Ron Paul is a Libertarian fruitloop.
