Real Hope & Change - Ron Paul 2012

If it is Fox News it must be true.

The poll was conducted by Rasmussen, Not Fox News.

Maybe this from the Huffington Post will be more pleasing. Paul wins

I thought there was also a poll that showed Trump in the lead. Then he started to talk and people started to listen. Then they stopped listening.

Polls at this stage of the game mean nothing.

BTW, I'd agree with you totally if your comment said


Polls at this stage of the game mean ALMOST nothing.

What they mean is that a candidate has caught the public eye for one reason or another. Bill Clinton came from nowhere to become the nominee and ultimately POTUS, He got some early attention in the polls and built from there.

It is irrelevant where the poll comes from. Being ahead of the pack this early in the race is meaningless. History has shown that those who lead this early almost never become President.

Let's see how it turns out. I do LOVE how as soon as Paul gets any kind of traction the Left turns up their Character Assassination Machine. Problem is with Paul he's as close to squeaky clean personally as one can get south of a Monastery. That leaves his 30 year track record of consistency, even Elliott Spitzer says he admires Dr Paul's "Intellectual Honesty".

This guy frightens BOTH parties and that cannot be a bad thing if you draw a paycheck.

I believe they call it politics. I believe there are few cases of it on the right as well. Look at the 2000 primaries in SC. Ask McCain what he thinks of character assignation. Are you new at this?

The right hasn't mastered it to the degree the left has. Secondly both the Republicans and Democrats have taken aim at Ron Paul. He is the establishments worst nightmare. If by some chance he does get elected how long before he gets shot? I don't think he lasts his term if elected

Who invented 'swiftboating' and Lee Atwater.

Nobody needs to take aim at Paul. The more he talks, the less people will listen.

The polls over the years say otherwise. We shall see what transpires. A little freedom and liberty never hurt anyone.

Comments like that really chip away at the claim that you are not a 'republican' libertarian. The republicans are equally talented at attacking a persons character rather than issues. Clinton and the BJ, Kerry and his Viet-Nam service, McCain and his illegitimate child, Willy Horton, Dukakis and the tank ride, the ACCORN video which got an innocent employee fired for doing the right thing ... etc. Rove took character assignation to a art form.

Your party stinks just as much as all the rest. You are just too smitten with yours and hate the others to see the truth.

Judging from the things I have seen, democrats are attacking him in a way that it keeps him in the lime light (as with Trump). Republicans are trying to shut him up because they know he will split the vote and cause them to loose any shot at the WH.

I cannot think of any candidate who has run for the WH more than once who ended up making it in. Has there been one? That's not to say it won't happen but it is a curious trend.

I have always maintained that Republicans & Democrats are nothing more then two wings on the same Bird of Prey. I've called them Republicrats on numerous posts. I'm not scanning my Libertarian Party Membership card to post it here. So you'll have to take it on faith.

I'd really like to see Paul in the Main Event against Obama. WHY? Because IMO there would finally be a real difference as I don't think they could be further apart in their views of the role of Government. The only reason Paul gets any traction at all is that on some basic level the vast majority realizes on some basic level that we are on the wrong path. They may not know what path we should be on but the current one seems wrong.

I do not care if you have a membership card to the flat world society. When you post a comment saying that republicans do not assassinate character like the dems do if shows your hidden colors.
