Sorry, it just sounds like a crazy idea for me :)...

It's the message, which Dr. Paul has been following for thirty years. The public is catching on to the message.

I support Ron Paul simply because of his stance on the US (un)Patriot Act. If you support it then you can't at the same time support the constitution. The two are antithetical. What is causing Ron Paul's numbers to swell is the fact that many people have lost faith in (what was) their government that has for far too long acted on its own behalf without any real concern for 'preserving and protecting' the constitution. They rightly perceive that as a country we are becoming a police state. Not only does the Patriot Act violate the constitution, but have you heard about that little room in the AT&T building run by the NSA that is looking over everyones collective Internet shoulder? Have you heard about the National ID act? Have you heard about RFID. Within less then 5 years in my ever so humble opinion, if someone like Ron Paul is not elected, the government will have in place the means and mechanisms to monitor everything we do from morning to sunrise. So what is attracting people to Ron Paul is the same exact sense that attracted and motivated the founders of this country to write the deceleration of independence, the constitution and spill their blood. If you're not supporting Ron Paul, then you don't believe, or support the constitution.

Maybe we need a little poll here. How many of you guys that are pro-war here are veterans and how many are chicken hawks? That may clear up why there is so much support for the chicken hawk candidates.

Dude, do you even know what a chicken hawk is?

Multiply choice:

A)Foghorn Leghorn

B)dysfunctional homosexual

C)a member of the Ostrich Party

And badmedia, you can't "win" a war then leave all the same conditions in place that led to your being there in the first place. What we are doing in Iraq-if it ultimately works-will have wonderful implications for our country for decades to come. You may not agree, but it is true. Plus, we KILL terrorists there everyday. Good thing!

By the way, the military overwhelmingly supports GWB. What r u smokin?

We are involved in Nation Building exactly what GWB said he wasn't going to do. And that is why 70% of the people want us out of there.

The only people who would call it a defeat are people who care more about pushing political agendas in the region than the lives of people. And that sure doesn't include me.

I'm a vet, you learn 1 thing in the military - KILL. They are not a police force, they are not target practice, they have 1 purpose, to defend our country when diplomacy and politics have failed, not to force political preferences on other people. People in the military realize this, that is why the military supports Ron Paul. They signed up to defend OUR country, the volunteered to put their life on the line for OUR country, to defend it from hostile nations. NOT to go to other countries and defend them.

If I was in the military right now, I'd be pissed that my government took my act of serving my country to sell it away to corporations to make a profit in another countries politics, while the same actions were causing problems back home.

And Ron Paul is a part of congress! LOL! He is part of the 11% unfavorable! He has no courage, instead joining the republicans on capital hill, then once there he professes hw much better he is! What a strategy!

You say he is against the "status quo". So just because of that we should elect him? I bet Hitler would have been against the against the status quo also-would u have voted for him?

Ron Paul is a kook. We have one fo the strongest economies EVER. Why would the American people want to fool with that?

Congress has an approval rating of like 11%. GWB has like less than 30%. And the only thing any of the other candidates are talking about is - more of the same, more status quo.

And then you have a candidate. A unique candidate. One who has a 20 year record of voting against the status quo. One who has been right on the foreign policy since before the Iraq war, and long before 9/11. You have a politician who understands the constitution, and civil liberties.

If you think he has no chance, or that people aren't really serious, then sorry, but you are just repeating the days talking points, not using your brain and looking at the real factors. I'll leave ya with a quote.
