so if paul is so popular and electable...why wouldn't he just run as an independent? why is he running as a republican?
Because Independents don't get elected...Period--

ron paul doesn't hate stem cell research, but he is against the federal funding of it. where are people going to get the money to research it though? why isn't he down with federal funding of anything? how are the states going to afford that? are private people going to want to spend that much money on it?
Really its quite simple... if an issue is deemed important by the people, the people will donate money to the cause. I would rather be taxed less and be able to donate more, rather than the contrary of thinking i pay taxes so the federal goverment is volunteering and donating for me.

As more of Ron Pauls writings come to light, he to will fade from being" flav O the week". I saw the other day that Gary Johnson had left the Republicant party to try and win the nomination from the Libertarian Party. Johnson is the former Gov of New Mexico and freely admits he smoked pot and it should be legal. Again he is a second tier candidate,(snowballs chance in hell of winning) but perhaps in the coming years(soon we all hope) there will be an electable advocate for Cannabis. There are an estimated 59 million smokers thats a lot of votes.

Both NBC News and Politico have confirmed that Johnson will announce his attentions during a press conference in Santa Fe next Wednesday.
“I feel abandoned by the Republican Party,” Johnson said in November. “If I’d have been included in 16 of the last debates we wouldn’t even be having this conversation.”
But the candidate was only invited to participate in two of the more than a dozen debates this year.
“His exclusion from the debates and lack of acknowledgement from the Republican establishment has been very frustrating,” Campaign spokesman Joe Hunter told NBC News. “His commitment since day one to get his message out.”

ron paul is regression, not progression.
the way ron paul keeps saying "the blacks". he's so old he doesn't realize that it's politically correct to call them "african americans" these days. what and old racist ignorant motherfucker from texas.
you seriously are a fuckin joke. if the one person who has the balls to end the fed and the irs and cut down taxes and minimize federal government is regression than you are fucked up. supporting obma is bad enough. he's just a face to fool dumb fucks like you. there has been just as many if not more injustices done to the american people under the HUSSEIN administration than the bush. he's just another puppet of these sick NWO bastards who think they have the right to run the world because they have the deepest pockets. nothing but modern day pharoes. really every single statement you have made on this thread is retarded. if you believe in global warming you are retarded. if you believe obama is the best we have than you might as well go jump off a bridge or some shit. keep drinking the koolaid man
there has to be a shift in power at some point or we will be lost. ron paul i think is really the only chance we have. i'm sure he knows how many powerful people don't want the fed to be audited or gone. i dunno, i say we need to give him a chance. obama got elected because everyone was sick of the bullshit and he promised change. but what the hell did he change? oh thats right he took away more of our freedoms. invaded more countries. its bullshit. ron paul wanted clinton impeached not because of monica lowinski but because he bombed iraq for no reason. i think he's the only stand up guy out there. romney is just as evil as bush and obama and mccain. i mean shit mccain wrote that fuckin ndaa bill. i dunno if this election doesnt go well i'm moving the fuck out of this country
