Ron Paul. There are several issues I have with him, but I have issues with all the other candidates too. But I am sick of the failures of both parties which are controlled by the 20% wacko lefties and 20% right wingnuts I think we need to have a major change in our political thinking.
As an undecided voter, would you consider Ron Paul?
Please, no answers from those who know they will vote for either the ultimate Republican or Democratic nominee.

bdzot...I see it as just the opposite, we are racing out of control now and we need to slow down this madness created by both parties.

No candidate has my vote, yet.
I'm open to ALL candidates at this point in time.
I've never voted straight ticket.
I was raised a Republican and have worked on every presidential campaign since Barry Goldwater ran for office in 1964 (of course, I was too young to vote back then) and have served on a several state party committees.
However - I've seen the GOP change, from the party that wanted to keep government out of our private lives to the party that wants an all-access pass to my bedroom and whether I have the right to die.
As for the Democrats - if they can shake off those ultra-leftist liberals, I might consider switching parties.
Any room for moderate folks like myself?
You know, those who are for a strong defense-based military, fiscal responsibility AND helping out the poor?
My head is Republican, my heart is Democratic and my body is independent.

Ron Paul is campaigning to abolish the federal reserve.
Immediately after the federal reserve is abolished, our economy would collapse, and economies all over the world would suffer with us.
Personally, I'm impressed every time a republican takes the oval office. During my lifetime I've watched extraordinary presidents like Nixon, Reagan, Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. lead our nation to greatness.
President Ford deserves his own paragraph. He is a greater man than many give him credit for because he served only a very short time, but in that time he united our country, an extremely difficult job.
Jimmy Carter brought division and confusion back, and Reagan had to fix it.
It's in every American's best interest to be identified as both a conservative and a republican. Your reputation will improve by the mere mention that you're conservative, and whiny liberals will avoid you. Both are great benefits.

Funny, because I would consider Ron Paul the ultimate Republican nominee. After all, he's been a lifelong Republican and his platform conveniently seems to mirror classic conservatism. I do disagree with him on several issues, but my process for picking a president to vote for is: look at my issues, look at all the candidates platform, pick the one that most matches me. So far, it's Ron Paul.

I am considering it would be wise to kick the whole lot out of office and governorship and replace them with people who actually want the job and will do their job, unlike the clowns from the two bit two party system we got now.
I am trying to go for the grassroots tradition and form my own party who promote candidates who have common sense.
Its going to be a long road, but I believe it will be well worth it.
Email me if such a thing interests you.

Now that Mezmarel has declared Reaganomics and relatives values extinct, we Republicans will could be sure which factor to glom onto next. possibly abortion, gun administration, gay marriage or any of those different magnificent and uplifting liberal platform planks would be our new puppy reason. i for my area am going tocontinual around with my homestead windows down and air conditioner on finished blast with the intention to help try against international warming. i will in all probability end clubbing infant seals, too.

If he were running on a third party ticket and the polls showed that he had a very good chance off winning, I would more than consider voting for him. I am from NY and am registered unaffiliated. In NY, if you are not registered with a party you cannot vote in the primaries so that is likely the only scenario that would put him on the ballot for me to vote for him.

I would and I'm not even a voter. I'm not even a citizen.
I'm a foreigner living in a foreign country but from here I can see that he's the best option today. And if the USA becomes more free maybe we'll start craving for that freedom too.

Yes, in fact, I plan on voting for Ron Paul. He advocates return to traditional, American and Constitutionalist ideas of a minimalist foreign government that doesn't get involved in overseas affairs. It disheartens me to see that many label him a crack-job, solely on the basis that they disagree with his ideas, which are the ones upon which the government was founded, and for which the founding fathers sacrificied so much.

Flat tax nut case???
Flat tax or fair tax is the only fair way!
Ron Paul is the much needed 'time out' this country needs to restore us back to a balance!

Just because the drive to and from work is boring and uneventful does not mean I want to careen down an alternate route at 100 mph.
That would be stupid. And so would voting for Ron Paul.
