Well I don't really nowLOL though it's got nothing to do with his political roots. More his actions. Pretty much all of them.
It's well known he is from the land of milk of honey...of political corruption but hate to be that cynical guy....like we're getting anything else >_>

I reckon Ron Paul has no real scandals or anything like that.
*ensue massive Paul fellatio festival*

Yeah hate to give the answer no one wants to hear but politically, he's pretty "clean" if you hate him, think he's a commie or the anti christ than fine but despite the greatest attempts to do so...no one could really pin anything on him.

It's all what you want to believe. He's a corrupt politician to the core, or he's not. I believe the latter, even though he's from Chicago.
He still sucks though, we seriously should've just given Bush a third term, and a fourth while we're at it!

I never embraced him so I never dismissed him. As for my understanding, I know cronyism when I see it and having been born and raised in Chicago it was a given. Blago  trying to sell Obamas seat was nothing new, he just got caught.

Fair enough.  I know a thing or two about Georgia politics and I crack up at the notion of Newt getting the repub nomination.  I freely admit voting for Obama in the primaries and I would have voted for Edwards if he hadn't dropped out already.

Edwards might be an even bigger scumbag than Newt.  If that's possible.
 
Obama is corrupt as anyone (energy bailouts, Fast & Furious) in a system the is set up for corruption.  He's just proven to be an even larger totalitarian than W.  Big government warmonger who is set to sign in a law allowing the indefinite imprisonment of American citizens without charges.  Will you at least think twice about throwing him your vote, slarti, after he signs the NDAA?

What about "third" party candidates? Donald Trump? (yeah right. What a clown). Michael Bloomberg? Ron Paul if he doesn't get the GOP nomination.
 
In the end I'll think it'll be Romney. Newton is already slippin'. The "smarts" of the GOP held out this cycle to run in 2016.

What Voters Didn’t Learn from All the Republican Debates in 2011
"Candidates are also adroit at confecting crowd-pleasing banalities instead of real answers. Romney boldly declared, "It has to be the American century. America has to lead the free world.""

Yeah, I agree, and that's a shame, because I really think we'd see who would make the best President of those folks if they had more specific executive-based questions.

Just a general technical question.  How many more debates are in the hopper before they settle on a candidate.  It can't be infinite can it?

Ten, not counting those that have been canceled.  And more to come as they are announced.

^Be careful Dr Paul. If you win in Iowa and then in another state, they will pull a Lee Harvey on you, and this one WILL be a crazy real conspiracy...

Whatever one may think of Ron Paul, it is macabre how the media ignore him, in light of his polling success, and the amount of apparent support he has, especially among younger voters.

I was watching 'CrossTalk' on Russia Today, this morning, and the dabate was about Newt Gingrich. At numerous points in the discussion, ALL the GOP candidates were metioned, every single one, with the exception of Ron Paul, who was not mentioned once.

I'm sorry, but this is a conspiracy in it's own right. What further evidience do people need, that there is a concerted effort afoot, to prevent this candidate from rising up and challenging the power structure that pulls the strings for both politcal parties. Are people deliberately ignoring reality?
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Thanks for that, I'd forgotten about that Buchanan stuff.  I'm starting to actually think in terms of Paul vs. Obama.  That would probably be the most interesting race in our lifetime.

Iowa is a bit overrated as a kingmaker these days.  New Hampshire, too.  They're so full of themselves.  We should really just ignore them. LOL
