Well have you seen what he has been doing since he was forced out of being the Chief of Staff?

Not only did he get it right about the Iraqi invasion, he excercised integrity when briefing Congress and told the truth and not what Rumsfield wanted him to say.

He is now a very successful business man helping wounded soldiers find good jobs despite their disabilities.

He would be great for foreign policy. I just think he would be a great President....

All of the above are fine points, but their is an election coming in less than 7 months, and besides the three with media coverage Ron Paul seems to me the only other remotely electable candidate. Even though it's less than likely because it seems that everyone has indeed lost all hope and faith in their own voting power.

With a grass-roots effort, the people lower on the totem pole have the strength in shear numbers to change the future and I can't for the life of me figure out why they wouldn't even try. I agree that one can be too rebelious and get c-blocked by congress, but the fact doesn't change that he will still be in front of the people conveying his message and pointing out the wrong in our country and the solutions to fix it. Let alone making history by becoming the president without being on the top of the ticket.

The thing I like most about him, is THAT he is rebelious, in that he will tell you what he thinks even if it's not exactly what you want to hear. Rather than tell you what you want to hear and do something completely different. People today have a hard time dealing with the truth.

I can't stand to listen to Ron Paul, and his followers even less...

The way I look at it at this time I would say it looks like it'll be McCain.

Reason No 1 being he stinks the least.
Reason No 2 being in the next four years there could be at least three maybe four Appointments to the Supreme Court.
Reason No 3 We don't need Hildabeast in the Whitehouse we've already had one Clinton there and we don't need another one.
Reason No 4 Barrack Obamma is more liberal than even Ted Kennedy.
Reason No 5 Avote for anyone else than McCain is a vote for Hillary or Obamma which ever one gets the nod from the Democrats.

I would make the best president.

But I'm too young right now.

Your job is to keep America alive until 2020. Then, together, we can claw our way out of this nasty mire of debt, insanity, and oppression we've managed to get stuck in.

Thanks for playing ... now here is a nice consolation prize.

I agree with the foreign policy angle, but what of domestic? I will take a governor anytime.
