I heard a theory, Ron Paul has only 5% in the national polls (As believable as they are)
Now people against Ron Paul fall into one of 3 categories
1. Un/Mis- Informed
2. Hillary's Socialist army
3. Blind sheep (Red Necks) under control of Dickmister and the Neo-cons who are actually under the impression that the war in Iraq is about freedom, that Iran has nukes (even though WE KNOW they don't) and that the Patriot act is only for "Towel Heads" and has no impact on them. (They also probably don't know that P.A.T.R.I.O.T is an acronym) and did not pay attention in history class
Now, only 10% of a party votes in the primaries, that "5%" Paul has are all very energetic and will no doubt vote in primaries.
So if this is true he could win the primaries... and If he wins the Primaries he WILL be the next president.
He can beat Hillary hands down.

Wow what a blind post from another Ron Paul supporter.
First of all that 5% (which is really aorund 3%) you refer to is of likely primary voters. So Ron Paul is looking at 3-5% of likely Republican party voters. Those who do go out and vote in the primaries.
Secondly you think that if someone doesn't vote for Ron Paul they are either misinformed, a Hillary supporter or some dumb redneck. COME ON, Get your own head out of your bum. I maybe from Texas but redneck is the last thing anyone would refer to me as.
I am one of those begging for the members of his own party to stray away from Hillary if we are to have any hope of winning in November.
And finally I have liekly listened to and read more about Ron Paul directly from his own words then you. I don't listen to the rhetoric, I don't listen to the spin. I go the the sources directly.
No I'm sorry son, (the redneck in me) but it appears to me that only 3-5% of the population support the Libertarian Ron Paul's agenda. Besides if Ron Paul were to win the Republican Nomination don't you think he would split a lot of votes in the general election with whoever the libertarian candidate will be. Don't forget that the libertarians have already gained ballott access to 28 states. That's half the states that you would be looking at splitting the votes with another libertarian candidate. Possibly a candidate with ideals within the party that conflicts with Ron Pauls such as his pro-life stance or the debate among libertarians between anarchist/minarchist policy.

So many issues about Ron Paul. I am going to vote for him. I am so disappointed in both parties right now... Ron Paul tells it like it is and we need a change from the same old BS we have now... just look at Congress, what are they doing for the people?

All Ron Paul supporters are voting for him. We need to get out to the people who won't vote for him because they don't think he has a chance. These people have been brainwashed into not voting for him even though they like him. The answer to that double think is "If everybody who thinks that just votes for him, he will win easily."

the Ron Paul supporters will turn out and primaries always have a small turn out so yes if his supporters all show up he has a very good chance to win.

Has it occured to anyone, that all of the YA Ron Paul supporters are probably numbering only 25-50 very vocal supporters with several yahoo accounts each?

Right on dude! You said it all! Yes, we could win. The problem is that sheople vote for who the idiot box tells them to. Ron Paul's supporters actually think for themselves.

Sure he will win.
What proves it to me is the fact I (a conservative who thinks the 2nd amendment is the most important issue) is teamed up with democrats who I would normally be political enemies with. And guess what... I LOVE IT....
