I don't. He has some support, but ultimately will not get the nomination, he stands out too much and would be less likely to win a general election against Clinton, or Obama or whoever

Unfortunately for America, I don't think he will get the nod. I hope he can gain enough support in the coming months to be a serious option but until then he is little more than a side note. Also, he never said that the United States caused 9/11. Rudy Giuliani only heard what he wanted to hear. Ron Paul said that our policies in the Middle East are the reason why people don't like us. The CIA will back this up as will the 9/11 Commission report. If we actually listened to what he has to say I'm pretty confident we'd all agree with most of it.

It would be the best thing the Republican Party has done in some time. If Ron Paul got the nomination, and got elected, it would be a great thing for the American people.

For those neocons who hate him, he supports the following:
-elmination of the IRS
-returning to the gold standard and putting the Fed in its place
-end to the unnecessary Iraq war
-states rights
-curtailing the size and scope of the federal government

These are all conservative principles. The fact that he has been an outspoken opponent of unconstitutional power grabs by the current administration, and he opposes the Iraqi war, have brought him against nitwits like Sean Hannity, but he is the only true conservative in the race, and he is the only candidate that I would fully support.

Will he get the nomination? I seriously doubt it. He has all the wrong enemies. The media hates him, as do the money elite, the liberals, and the neocons. They'd rather have business as usual than any positive change in the out of control federal government. And that's a shame.

Ron Paul has an incredible knowledge in foreign policy and is true to his conservative values however I don't he will get the nomination. Just a wishful thought though.

I really don't think so. Ron Paul, speaks out for what he knows is right, opposes the war and from this Democrat's point of view, is a pretty good man.

There ain't no way in hell the RNC will support him.

humorous to work out a Libertarian who allies themselves extra with the Democratic party than the alternative - I often hear from Libertarians approximately how Democrats are the party of intrusive government. Democrats oftentimes help Libertarians on all social subject concerns alongside with gay marriage, permission of drug use, abortion rights, and abolition of the dying penalty. that's genuine of Ron Paul and maximum US Democrats besides. Ron Paul believes in severe protection human beings borders, at an identical time as maximum Democrats have self belief in permitting a direction to citizenship for citizens of alternative international places. Ron Paul and extremely very nearly all Democrats will selection incredibly broadly on economic subject concerns - Ron Paul helps reducing government intervention in markets to allow all people to be triumphant with the aid of their own reward, at an identical time as Democrats are in choose of public intervention to guard decrease training. Ron Paul is plenty farther left than maximum Democrats on conflict and foreign places coverage, believing in a plenty downsized protection tension the place Democrats have self belief in a solid yet multilateral protection tension tension. finally, Ron Paul is in choose of religious legislations alongside with abolition of training scholars the thought of Evolution, at an identical time as Democrats help an entire separation of church and state and settle for medical consensus as a great-unfold for public education practices. oftentimes, inspite of the shown fact that, Democrats the two have not heard numerous Ron Paul or do not help him on subject concerns of economics and church-state integration.

Ron Paul would be better to run as an independent.

Seriously. Right, wrong or indifferent, he will never convince the general public that the US was at fault for the 9/11 bombings.

Look at his support base. Even if he is correct, don't these people kinda scare you?

Alan, below me. I wish you could see some of the supporters who show up here on this forum and read what they write. That alone turns people off. Any time that you have people who consistently show up with name calling, telling people that they're murderers and a lot more insanity than sanity, it puts Ron Paul down. Why? Because at the end of their senseless spiels, they always leave a "Ron Paul '08" signature. He needs to clean house if he wants to look credible.

I know of no one who actually thinks Ron Paul has any chance whatsoever for the WH.

I think he should but, he cannot even get fair air time during the debates much less in the media. He is not one of the GOP's chosen ones.
