Theres a lot about Paul that I like and even agree with, but then I have to remind myself he's running in the Republican Party for a reason.

Can you guys vote for anyone, or just the person they choose to be a party's presidential candidate?

ron paul seems like the realist candidate, hes not a fucking dumbass and knows how things works, he will probably not win cause he would do things the right way, which isn't the american way

You can write in a name, but it would be very hard to convince your electorate to vote for anyone but one of the two main candidates.

But he wouldnt. Hes just the president, he cant force congress to do what he wants. And neither republicans nor democrats would.

He's a Republican because he would never be elected if he were registered Libertarian.... That's the only reason.

newts the smartest candidate and the only one who could easily dominate obama in a debate but his baggage will lose him women voters, and quite sadly thats all the news media talks about since they want to make him look bad. his response last night was perfect though.

romney has the presidential figure, but will lose votes because of his career. people see successful people as evil and greedy, thats why people want to see his tax returns so badly

santorums and evangelical negative asshole who is only getting votes by saying shit about other candidates and as paul said perfectly is "over sensitive"

pauls a funny guy, good guy, but unfortunately not popular enough to win

THINKS hes the smartest candidate. the guy lacks a lot of common sense, which is way more important.

LOL at people defending Obama. He has spent more than any other president, almost combined I believe. Look around and ask yourself if this country is better than it was before obama was elected. I like Ron Paul and Newt, although any of the candidates will do a better job then obama.

Lol you think Newt will spend less. He might spend a little less, but hell cut taxes too and make no dent in the deficit.

the sad thing is ron paul is the closest we will get to a libertarian president. stop stealing other countries oil so we can give welfare checks to the worthless people in america.

I agree with you but your nor going to convince anyone based on the backfire affect, : When someones beliefs are challenged with facts, they dig deeper into their original beliefs.
