I voted for Bush in the last two elections. At this point I am undecided but I'm just learning about Ron Paul. So far he looks pretty good to me. Thank God for the internet. It could make it possible for Ron Paul or someone like him to get support and contributions with out the MSM being in their corner. He's doing pretty good in the fund raising dept. Without the free support the other candidate's enjoy from the MSM or the special interests. This alone says a lot. The special interest groups don't support him because he doesn't support them. Thats a good thing. He doesn't vote for the money and has opted out of the congressional retirement fund.He's never been on a government junket. Unlike ANY of the other candidates he actually espouses the constitution. ?? Imagine that! No wonder they don't want to talk about him. Something tells me I'm going to like this guy and that I'm not alone.

Hey dumba*s philip Ron Paul IS a constitutionalist.Maybe you need to do some reading before you answer a question.You obviously know nothing about Ron Paul as do a lot of people who talk down about the man.Anyway, i voted democrat last two elections and since have changed to independent.I will be voting for Ron Paul whether he makes it as the repub.candidate or not,you can write him in.There will be no one i would vote for as it seems the tickets will probably end up Rudy vs Hillary which are two of the same.Check out Ron Paul people before you start bad mouthing the man, at least know what you're talking about.Then if you see fit to vote for another so be it.Mindless drones.
Also he IS the only real conservative of the bunch.They call him DR.No in congress because he has never voted against the constitution or to raise taxes.

Basically I would like to know what people actually have against the guy. I mean real problems with him being President of the United States. How bad is Ron Paul? What are all the terrible things the man has done for so many people to be against him? I hear or see a lot of people dis the man on here but no real solid reasoning behind it.

Libertarian, 15 so I can't vote anyways. But I am spreading the word about Ron Paul.

At this point, I am undecided and technically not a Ron Paul supporter ... I am historically a staunch Democrat and I find it unusual that a republican could captured my attention. But Ron Paul has done just that and I surmise there are many more Democrats who feel the same as I do.
I like his ideas. The Republicans should look at this man more seriously. He potentially could capture many crossover votes as well as the votes of many moderates. But alas, he does not tow the strict conservative party line and is therefore being shunned by his own party.
The insanity of politics.

I'm more of a liberal... but the last election I voted democratic, only because I would rather have anything than Bush... I never thought I would vote for a republican but Ron Paul truly inspires me.. I trust that he will make change unlike the other liars and flip floppers...

Until yesterday I was a registered Independent, & in the past voted for the candidates that I mostly agreed with, on their views. Knowing Ron Pauls un-wavering views for over 20 years now, I always wrote his name in for president, since 1988, when he was the Libertarian parties presidential candidate.
However, I learned right here on Y. A. that in order to help get Dr. Paul 'Nominated' on the Republican ticket, you have to be a 'Registered' Republican!
So, both my wife & I registered as Republicans yesterday, so we can vote 'Republican' in the 'Primary' election, in my state, for Ron Paul.
This Republican registration is extremely important because all our meet-up & grass roots support will be for nothing, imo, if any one of the other Republican scumbags get nominated over Ron Paul.
Thank you.

I am a Republican, but have been finding myself consistently hating both of the two parties for some time now.
I would back up Ron Paul even if he were running on the doomed Libertarian ticket. Why would I go for someone else if I don't believe in them?

I did not vote due to the "electorial college". Back when Ross Pero was running, he recieved 20% of the American popular vote, and got no electorial votes,..... so one fifth of the country's democratic voice went unheard and shifted to other candidates. I have never voted since for the system does not work and is not democratic.
I would vote for Ron Paul but since he is playing the two party system, he will get knocked off at primaries... another distortian of the electorial processs.
