Will Ron Paul win the nomination by default due his voting record and lack of outlandish scandals?

Question

Or are GOP voters to far gone to support a man that supports the US Constitution?

Answer 1

I like a lot of what Paul has to say, and respect him, but his stance on Iraq will prevent him for getting serious consideration as the nominee of the Rep. party. It is that simple. He may run as a 3rd party candidate and really throw a monkey wrench in the Rep. plans though.

Answer 2

Consider this: when was the last time a man in politics seemed to materialize out of nowhere with a clean record working in government, and with ideas of fiscal conservativism and minimal government? I can't think of a time, so with a lack of anything to really attack him on, they ignore him. He won't get the nomination because he doesn't represent the current conservative party, despite the fact that he represents American conservative ideals to the letter.

Most GOP voters do not know who he is, and if they do they probably heard it from some source bashing him. I was one of those people once, but unlike most I am open minded and my research of Ron Paul showed me that a lot of the trash talk against him is completely baseless.

Answer 3

Ron Paul couldn't win a sock hop race with the other runners - not enough "old guard" support. He'll be another victim of the one...er two party system.

Answer 4

Of direction. staggering question! I belonged to the Libertarian social amassing for years, whether I voted Republican. 0.33 activities are constantly losers. look what Perot did. Rush pronounced, years in the past, that the Libertarians ought to Disband and Take Over the Republican occasion. Rush has finished greater for the Libertarian ideals, than the Libertarian party has ever been able to do.

Answer 5

Sorry Chi but I gotta do it...

Considering many of his supporters are white supremesists (sp?) and owners of houses of prostitution. The only way he would get the GOP vote is if on the primary election night we all took a hit of LSD before voting.
Considering these are conservatives we're talking about, it aint gonna happen...sorry

Answer 6

Ron Paul doesn't believe in the welfare clauses of the Constitution. He thinks markets will look after American welfare better than the American people through their system of democratic government. This is a fatal political flaw for any candidate running for PUBLIC office.

Candidates who don't believe in the Constitutional role of government in promoting the general welfare should never be elected to public office. The country always suffers when you do.

Answer 7

I don't support him, as he is supported, quite strongly might I add, by a white supremecist group, wants to FEDERALLY legalize drugs instead of letting the States decide, and a few other things as well. I'm sorry, but you sound a lot like another guy on another site that I frequent and was banned for making topic after topic on how Ron Paul was basically god.

Answer 8

cite a reference of scandal..oh wait I forgot..if there are none..some will work overtime to fabricate them..with no sources or created sources like the NIE..and even then you don't have the integrity to source yourself..

Answer 9

I hope so, he's the only viable candidate they have at this point.

EDIT: Ricky T, Paul wants to end bureaucracy and consolidate, not abolish these agencies.. he is for intelligence gathering

Answer 10

He is a populist with no serious policies. He refuses invitations to debate on serious topics. His support will fall away drastically as the nomination nears.
