If He Ran As An INDEPENDENT.
"Well, for what it’s worth, Ron Paul is not a typical conservative, or even like all too many libertarians, in this respect. He is running mostly to dismantle the empire and national-security state; his first priority is not to kick anyone onto the street, and he has stressed this many times. He further understands that just because the military is a Constitutional function of government does not mean it should get a pass whereas the food stamp programs should not. He really does want to dramatically slash the state’s most egregious instruments – those of mass murder, mass destruction and totalitarian control of foreign and domestic subjects. When the issue of social entitlements comes up, he makes clear that his top priority is eliminating the entitlements to the military industrial complex, which he considers the most immoral and unjustified subsidies of all."

YES! Those who would accuse Dr. Paul of pandering to anyone need only look at his record. He is the principled candidate running. One only need look at his record know that He has been unwavering in fight for liberty and freedom. .

No. I would probably vote for him if he got the R nod. But somehow I doubt it.
As an independent I'm not sure he would be allowed on the ballot.

Paul should have a significant sum of money after the primary to run an independent or libertarian campaign, if he wanted.

if he ran as an independent he would get a nice chunk of the vote...who knows if he'd take more from the reps or the dems...it'd be interesting though...I could never support him though...I have always believed in a strong defense.

This lefty is voting for Nader if he runs, and if he doesnt, Camejo probably will.
I am turned off by R. Pauls pandering to the fundamentalist right.

No way I would ever vote for Ron Paul. I would even vote for a Dem over him (something I have never done in my 30 years as a registered Republican).

No way shape or form.
Ron Paul would destroy America within the first 6 months.
I cannot believe so many actually take this man seriously.
