Post by: JohnC1908 on March 25, 2010, 12:18:35 AM
Just explain. No reason to talk up the other candidate unless you really believe they are a better alternative. Anyways...explain.

Because he is too old and the media will try to destroy him and he isnt the type that can fight back against that type of assault.I want young guys like Thune,Ryan and Pence.Put Paul in charge of the treasury.

Because when it comes to non economic issues he sucks. Anyone who thinks that the US invading Iraq is morally the same as China invading the US is a moral fool and does not belong in the White House. Come on guys, you cant have a president who is naive about foreign policy. Besides, because of this, the foreign policy hawk wing of the Republican Party wouldnt like him, and therefore the energy to elect him wouldnt be there in 2012. We cant afford another 4 years of Obama guys. Please guys, drop Ron Paul. For good reason he is not a serious contender.

Actually, his foreign policy is his strength.

If I were American, and if Ron Paul was a presidential candidate, not only would I vote for him, but...but...yes yes, I would definitely vote for Ron Paul.

Ron Paul's foreign policy is great.  "Concentrate on solving domestic problems and stop trying to solve other countries problems."

cause FOX and MSN told us so?

I saw mccain/palin as not all that "viable", to be honest.  Mccain had some senior moments, Palin was a spunky train wreck.

Is Ron paul "not viable" because Sean hannity said so?

nobody has more practice fighting off a hostile media than Ron Paul.  It's not hard to find a video, even recent where he owns without ever losing the smile.

Some idiot above said that you can't affort 4 more years of Obama.  Well imo and based on admin after admin, we can't affort another 4 years of anybody but Ron Paul.  Paul is a 180 from the direction the country has been heading over the past 40+ years.  Exactly what it needs.

In spite of his age, i would definately spend $$$, time, and effort campaining for him. 

If its Romney or Huck?  no way. 

If its Thune, I am there. 

If its Daniels - I will see.

If its Palin, I will campaign for her despite her faults and shortcomings.


anyone than Romney or obama!

My "logic" says Ron Paul ran a very long campaign and was never a viable candidate.  He couldn't raise the money or garner the votes necessary to win.  He did not fare well in debates.  He doesn't have the party loyalty necessary to convince enough members to vote for him.  He doesn't have the charisma.  There is no way he comes out of the Republican primary.

Unfortunately, a candidate needs more than good ideas, a solid moral compass, and great intellect (all of which Ron Paul has).  It's a beauty contest that requires an obscene amount of money.

I like him, but anyone who believes he can win is dreaming IMO.

And the fact she is more liberal on positions than even Romney...

Why?

Romney's position on healthcare makes me leary of him.

Hillary is like comparing Thatcher to Carter when you add MAOBAMA into the mix. 

She would have been a far better president.

Buchanan...I have mixed feelings about him but he is decent on foreign policy.

It's not about who was worse.  The wrong direction is the wrong direction, period.  That one of these presidents might have gone in the wrong direction slower than the other doesn't mean much to me. ;)
