He's a loser on the extreme fringe, and he knows he doesn't have any more chance to win, or even influence the election, than pitbull bitch, Trump, Santorum, etc.

I wish.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

President, I don't know. I'd love to have him as a treasury secretary. Flush out all the jackasses that Bush AND Obama appointed that contributed to our financial meltdown. It would never happen though. He's too "radical".

BREAKING POLL CNN - Who does best against Obama? Ron Paul. The congressman from Texas

Who does best against Obama? Paul. The congressman from Texas, who also ran as a libertarian candidate for president in 1988 and who is well liked by many in the tea party movement, trails the president by only seven points (52 to 45 percent) in a hypothetical general election showdown. Huckabee trails by eight points, with Romney down 11 points to Obama. The poll indicates the president leading Gingrich by 17 points, Palin by 19, and Trump by 22 points.

Ron Paul will never be president because he wants to dismantle a huge portion of the government, and the government won't ever let that happen.

[Proxy]

Ron Paul is an idiot. He wants to dismantle systems that run the world.

People who like Ron Paul don't understand how the machine works.

I scanned through the link quickly but through all the beatdowns that Paul was getting in those poll questions, I didn't see the one you are referencing.

what page is it on?

[fraga]

But he IS for legalizing Prostitution...Drugs...and all other good stuff...RON PAUL 2012...

[DMX7]

He said on stage that he even wants to legalize heroine. I think he secured the evangelical vote with that doozie.

Ok, now I see what you are getting at:

among voters that are more "Independent", 48% voted for Paul and 45% voted for Obama.

lol.

Is this especially surprising to anyone? If so, why?

[4>0rings]

Far be it for CNN to actually fake a poll to make it seem like someone has a chance against Obama, in reality they are voting for the easiest opponent.

Ron Paul has raised an inhuman jerk off:

PAUL: With regard to the idea of whether you have a right to health care, you have realize what that implies. It’s not an abstraction. I’m a physician. That means you have a right to come to my house and conscript me. It means you believe in slavery. It means that you’re going to enslave not only me, but the janitor at my hospital, the person who cleans my office, the assistants who work in my office, the nurses.

Basically, once you imply a belief in a right to someone’s services — do you have a right to plumbing? Do you have a right to water? Do you have right to food? — you’re basically saying you believe in slavery.

I’m a physician in your community and you say you have a right to health care. You have a right to beat down my door with the police, escort me away and force me to take care of you? That’s ultimately what the right to free health care would be.

Yeah, because that happens so frequently in countries with socialized health care :lol

Is Ron against Civil Rights too?

Pretty much this. I would love to see him try though.

[Winehole23]

Best case, RP splits the GOP vote in 2012, assuring Obama's reelection and his own place in history as the Republican equivalent of Nader in 2000 or Ross Perot in 1992. The spoiler.

(Very doubtful, imho)

[Winehole23]

No way he'll get the GOP nomination. RP only got what, about 3 to 5 points last time around? And that might be exaggerating a little.

[DMX7]

you think that will stop Ron Paul in a GOP primary?

:lmao

I think the fact that he's an overrated overhyped piece of shit with no chance in hell of winning a major party primary will stop him.

Ron Paul could have Bill Gates' money and will never see the Presidency. It's not going to happen. Give it up.

I will never vote for a guy who introduces a bill then votes against it so he can play both sides of the fence.

80 Complete years of Patriotic Duty! Ron Paul is the last of the founding fathers tbh.

[RandomGuy]

Ron Paul will never be president because he wants to dismantle a huge portion of the government, and the government won't ever let that happen.

Ron Paul would find, just like Governor Ventura did, that the constraints of the office are harder to get around than one might think.

It wouldn't be the government that would stop such a dismantling, it would be the voters who, when faced with the actual prospect of getting rid of a lot of government services, suddenly lose their appetite for abolishing the big bad government.

In-depth polls have shown little about any specific government cut-back that would enjoy wide popular support.

I have come to think that a lot of the "government booga booga booga" bullshit is overblown wind.

That isn't really what most people want at the end of the day, no matter what they say, and the "dismantle government" crowd is smaller than they think.

:lmaoOf course not. I'm not wasting time and money to run like Paul is.

[DMC]

Paul adds his own earmarks, such as for Texas shrimp promotion, but he routinely votes against most spending bills returned by committee.

Ron Paul is a "look at me" politician. Let's take 100 dollars our of our pockets and pay for this medal for Reagan. Yeah, that way we don't have to spend 30K of that 300 billion we are ear marking.

Hey look at me.

Ron Paul is too extreme to ever get into office. He's therefore a spoiler of the conservatives.

[DMC]

you'll never win the GOP nomination, and won't even get one vote!

:lmao

I'd vote for him.

[Galileo]

IMHO IMHO, by running Paul believes at worst GOP candidates will be forced to debate the issues he thinks are the real issues facing the country, at best he might win

Who's the mega-GOP star who's certain to beat him or anyone else? Newt? Nailin Palin? Huckaboom? T-Paw? crofl

I think Paul might end up playing Goldwater to Gary Johnson's Reagan in '16

No one can stop Ron Paul. He has assembled a juggernaut.

[boutons_deux]

Ron Paul has absolutely no chance of getting the nomination. He's not telegenic (America loves celebrities, not scourges with pinched faces), he's way too old, he's saturated with the false, social Darwinism inhumanity, hate, and ridiculous bullshit of a faker/poseur Ayn Rand.

[boutons_deux]

WALLACE: You talk a lot about the Constitution. You say Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid are all unconstitutional.

PAUL: Technically, they are. . . . there’s no authority [in the Constitution]. Article I, Section 8 doesn’t say I can set up an insurance program for people. What part of the Constitution are you getting it from? The liberals are the ones who use this General Welfare Clause. . . . That is such an extreme liberal viewpoint that has been mistaught in our schools for so long and that’s what we have to reverse—that very notion that you’re presenting.

WALLACE: Congressman, it’s not just a liberal view. It was the decision of the Supreme Court in 1937 when they said that Social Security was constitutional under Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution.

PAUL: And the Constitution and the courts said slavery was legal to, and we had to reverse that.

Ron Paul's 15 Most Extreme Positions


Does the gentleman from Texas have a chance of winning the White House this time around? Hmmm.

By Josh Harkinson | Mon May. 16, 2011 12:30 PM PDT

Could Rep. Ron Paul of Texas ever be a true contender for the White House?

To be sure, the conservative political landscape has shifted dramatically since Paul's quixotic bid for the 2008 GOP nomination was met by jeers from the party establishment, and the Ron Paul Revolution has minted a new generation of libertarian activists [1] who've helped lay some of the organizational and ideological groundwork for the tea party movement. "Time has come around to where people are agreeing with much of what I've been saying for 30 years," the Texas congressman said on Friday, as he launched his third White House attempt. "The time is right."

Yet despite Paul's growing cult following, many of his views are just a tad extreme for voters from either major party. To name just a few of these politically dicey positions, President Ron Paul would like to...

1. Eviscerate Entitlements: Believes that Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are unconstitutional, and has compared the failure of federal courts to strike them down to the courts' failure to abolish slavery [2] in the 19th century.

2. Lay Off Half His Cabinet: Wants to abolish half [3] of all federal agencies, including [4] the departments of Energy, Education, Agriculture, Commerce, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, and Labor.

3. Enable State Extremism: Would let states to set their own policies on abortion, gay marriage, prayer in school, and most other issues.

4. Protect Sexual Predators' Privacy: Voted against [5] requiring operators of wi-fi networks who discover the transmission of child porn and other forms online sex predation to report it to the government.

5. Rescind the Bin Laden Raid: Instead of authorizing the Navy Seals to take him out, President Paul would have sought Pakistan's cooperation to arrest him.

6. Simplify the Census: The questions posed by the Census Bureau's annual American Community Survey [6], which collects demographics data such as age, race, and income, are "both ludicrous and insulting [7]," Paul says.

7. Let the Oldest Profession Be: Paul wants to legalize prostitution at the federal level.

8. Legalize All Drugs: Including cocaine and heroin [8].

9. Keep Monopolies Intact: Opposes federal antitrust legislation [9], calling it "much more harmful than helpful." Thinks that monopolies can be controlled by protecting "the concept of the voluntary contract."

10. Lay Off Ben Bernacke: Would abolish the Federal Reserve and revert to use of currencies that are backed by hard assets such as gold [10].

11. Stop Policing the Environment: Believes that climate change is no big deal and the Environmental Protection Agency is unnecessary [11]. Most environmental problems can be addressed by enforcing private-property rights. Paul also thinks that interstate issues such as air pollution are best dealt with through compacts between states.

12. Not Do Anything, but Still...: Would not have voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 [12] because it was a "massive violation of private property and contract, which are the bedrocks of a free society."

13. Let Markets Care for the Disabled: "The ADA should have never been passed," Paul says [13]. The treatment of the handicapped should be determined by the free market.

14. First, Do Harm: Wants to end birthright citizenship. Believes that emergency rooms should have the right to turn away illegal immigrants [14].

15. Diss Mother Teresa: Voted against [15] giving her the Congressional Gold Medal of Honor. Has argued that the medal, which costs $30,000, is too expensive [16].
