Okay... Ron Paul has some great ideas about getting away from the iron fist of government but, he has some really, really wacky ideas on foriegn policy, other things and so on.... etc,etc,etc,etc,etc,etc,etc,etc,etc,etc!
Like I have said before, it is going to come down to... as Murray Rothbard said, "A two party system" .... a Republican and Democrat... Gingrich/Romney vs. Obuma.  So why waste a vote on Paul when it could help get Obuma out of office and onto the "bread line?"

Like I've said before WARPH, I think Paul has the mindset if it can't be him---then to hell with the GOP---let Obama have it another 4 years

So you're thinking that Newt is a changed man nowadays?  Where's the evidence?

I'm thinking that Newt is still a liberal, just like he was 17 years ago.

By the way, it's the Republican party and the media that does not want Ron Paul to have the Republican nomination.
I agree that Ron Paul isn't much of a Republican.

Hm...are people supposed to "forget' his $300,000 fine and reprimands from his own people and party, because it wasn't recent, yet never forget the misdeeds and wrong doings of other politicians no matter how long ago it was? Interesting thinking.
I don't care how far back it goes, he's too slippery for me. How has he redeemed himself? Now it comes out we've been pronouncing his last name wrong all this time. It's pronounced Gingrick, not Gingrich...interesting.

In no way do I think ol Newt is perfect and no I don't agree with all his ideas. Is there any one candidate you agree with on everything he stands for?
Yes ol Newt got his t#t in a ringer and paid the price---but you name me one---just one--politician that has always done anything but ethical things. Newt was not real popular with his own party when he was speaker so they went after him.But he's a Repub so lets crucify him but Chas Rangle, Dodd, Bwaney Fwanks and on and on---lets just slap their little paws and say,"bad boys"
Thought it was funny yesterday when Paul said Newt was "a lifetime politition" So tell me Mr. Paul---how long have you been in politics ? 1970 what , you hypocrite ?

I don't want Ron Paul to have the Republican nomination. And he's a Libertarian who's running as a Republican so he can participate in the debates. But you knew that....

Let's hope he doesn't pull a Perot by ending up running as an independent in the general election, spliting the Republican vote and allowing Obama another four years.

We sure ought to have more candidates like Ron Paul.  Republicans offer little or no change to Obama.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion. I don't care what party they are from as long as they can get this country back on track. Mr. Paul's foreign policy stinks. That's my opinion.

he's the only candidate, dem or republican, that has been on the right side of every foreign policy issue from day 1.  What specifically about his foreign policy don't you like?

He want's to turn a blind eye toward known enemies of this country.
