evasion - n. - 1) Willfully ignoring facts that don't fit with your foolish ideology 2) What the people who claim that Ron Paul isn't a serious candidate are engaging in

Answer 1

Its got to be one or the other, the media won't say it but it is true.

Gambling odds are the most reliable of all sources because the have money riding on the accuracy of the odds. You can litteraly take it to the bank.

Answer 2

I believe he is a second tier canidate now, but it would do our nation good if he was a first tier one.

For those of you who come to every Ron Paul question and critisize him, just one point, do you realize that we are all Americans, who we elect could make or break the future of this country... Do yourself, your family and the rest of the citizens a favor by checking the facts and track records of all the canidates... Then come back and talk about Ron Paul... Your lack of judgement will cause us all to suffer... Don't you realize its the same thing with Bush... when he was running the same people complained oh you don't know what your talking about vote for him, and look at the end result.. Have you learned nothing from the past eight years... Judge a canidate who wants to help you not his/her own agenda...

Answer 3

@ the poster above me

He's not a Dem. He is a Republican. Republicans are traditionally conservative, making him more Republican than any other candidate. And taking over the world? Do you guys make up lies for fun?

Anything you have said has been debunked on camera by Ron Paul and others.

Answer 4

Betting odd can deviate from realistic odds when the supporters of a team or a candidate are very enthusiastic especially when the money at risk is small. Ron Paul supporters are very enthusiastic but his ideas will frighten a majority of voters even Republican voters.

Answer 5

NOT A CHANCE! Sorry, dream on. You are taking the biased word of odds makers on an Internet gambling site? Odds makers do not mean votes!

New Gallup poll has Ron Paul at 3% & Romney is at 8%. I have NEVER seen Paul at anything higher than 3%. Paul will NEVER be a top-tier candidate!

Another poll has him at 2%.

Answer 6

Although it matters that I think he should be in office... He is however getting attention to push his odds up.

Answer 7

i have a hard time taking those odds seriously. Look at the odds they give McCain. Everyone knows he is out of it, yet he is higher than Ron Paul.

Not to mention the statements from Ron Paul himself are really stupid. “The majority of people in Washington were afraid to support the internet for fear it would label them ‘pro-porn’ or ‘pro-gambling’.”

I mean como what? is there any politician who is agaignst the internet? Or who honestly believes the people would see being pro internet as pro porn or pro gambling? Heck Al Gore claimed to have invented the internet. Very stranger words for someone afraid of supporting the internet.

This just confirms beyond everything else to me that Ron Paul is a moron.

Answer 8

I can't believe you think he has a chance to win! All the polls show the exact opposite. McCain has a better chance and he's toast after the amnesty bill!!!!

Answer 9

Interesting, how do they measure this? Do they get some unspun MSM feed to base their info on? I would think his odds are pretty good, but not because of MSM.

Answer 10

He won't be president. Republicans aren't stupid enough to vote him in. He's a Dem who preaches about big business taking over the world. We know better.
