If he is so insignificant, why do so many people answer Ron Paul questions (supporters and non-supporters)? If he is so loony, I'd like to know what you think of Hillary, or Giuliani, the two most popular names in joe sixpack's mind. Having those two as possible Presidents make me desperately search for an alternative. Luckily, I don't have to be desperate this time, and choose a lesser evil, I can choose good.
He's not perfect, but I'm voting for him. Split the revolution at your own peril, because only united we can make him "electable" (seems to be a hang up of some "almost" supporters).

No. He's not raving. Some of his ideas are radical for some people though. I don't mind him, I'm just not supporting him either.
I honestly see Huckabee as a bigger raving lunatic. The way he used G-d's name in vain to get ahead. Shameless.

No.
I think anyone who ignores the fact there are forces trying to chip away at the Constitution & US Soverignty are just as much a lunatic as people who think we should trade freedom for security.

At first I thought he was just crazy, but the more I listened to him the more his ideas made a lot of sense. I don't think that we are ready for the kind of changes he wants to make, and I think that you would have to move toward them gradually, but he reminds me of the way of thinking that Republicans are supposed to have. Imagine that, a Republican who actually believes in small government!
I'm not going to vote for him, but I'm glad he's getting so much public attention and bringing a new (or old, depending on how you look at it) perspective to national politics.

I'm not voting for Ron Paul as things stand now. I think he is a good man, with Americas best interest at heart. I'm only concentrating on keeping Hillary out! In other words I'll vote for whoever is running against her! If she wins the nomination, I'll vote for the Republican. We will be better off with anyone, even if it is Obama, than her. Have you researched her background?
Happy Holidays!

No. But you can't write this guy off. He's for real and very smart and has won his seat in Congress 10 times. Listen to what he has to say and you will be much more informed. I'm for Huckabee because I think we need someone like him to steady this country. But Ron Paul is a great man in his own way.

nope. just on the subject of finances: i've been studying practical finances from my mentor who retired in his 40s.
i was shocked to hear ron paul speak (in person) and say the EXACT same things that my mentor has been saying for years. "inflation is caused by printing more money." i had no idea until my mentor educated me on that one!
anyway, it's kind of a question of where will we be in 8 years? thankful that we went for the eccentric ron paul..... or...... totally broke?

no.. he is right on the money on nearly every issue, but doesn't fit in with the washington government right now.. but what can you say to someone who wants less government, lower taxes, power back to the people, and getting rid of the irs, reforming the school system, and letting the states run what happens in the state.. nothing wrong with that!

No, I don't. He is honest and not changing his views for the special interest groups or corporations. Now I find it loony that both leading candidates for both the Dems and Repubs do not seem to stick to an issue once it becomes unpopular.. I prefer blunt not sugar coating..

No, but his supporters are. They pretty much put him to shame in the crazy department. If you don't believe me, wait for their inevitable arrival in this question with their posted spam and YouTube links. His supporters are his greatest enemy and the most disgraceful display I have ever seen in American politics.
I think Ron Paul is an idealist and either truly believes he has the power to make his changes (he doesn't) or just doesn't care and wants to try anyway. I am a libertarian and agree with many of his values. I disagree with enough though not to want him as my president.
