New polls hows Ron Paul does best against Obama

[The Rabbi]

Yeah, I'd be jealous too if the candidates I liked couldn't inspire supporters like Ron Paul has.

Hitler and Mao inspired supporters too. That doesn't really mean much.

Ron Paul has no, zero, change of getting nominated, much less elected. Americans are not interested in a radical, which is basically what Ron Paul is.

Right, because Ron Paul is comparable to Hitler or Mao.

No, of course not.
Hitler and Mao both were popular with their citizens.

 

[Old Rocks]

Does it matter? Can Ron Paul sell his ideas to the American Public? Can he sell his ideas just to the GOP primary voters?

 

[LibocalypseNow]

Very wise prediction. He always does.

Who does best against Obama? Paul. The congressman from Texas, who also ran as a libertarian candidate for president in 1988 and who is well liked by many in the tea party movement, trails the president by only seven points (52 to 45 percent) in a hypothetical general election showdown.

Well - we're still quite a ways out from the election. So please - be patient. I am sure the RNC will come up with someone.
But this much I do know - Ron Paul doesn't stand a snow-ball's chance in hell of winning - so don't kid yourself....

LOL

Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) will win tonight's big Republican debate because he will be the only candidate discussing serious ideas in a Republican field that is one of the weakest in modern presidential politics.

Since most Republican candidates with a chance to win are not participating in tonight's debate, it will be a test of former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty. My guess is that Pawlenty will be trying to appease various Republicans while Dr. Paul will be clearly advocating his ideas and will win the battle of the sound bites after the formal debate has ended.

Adlai Stevenson was pretty bright and articulate. He crapped out. Ralph Nader is very smart and articulate. He went nowhere. Alan Keyes is very smart and articulate. He lost to Obama for gosh sakes.
Ron Paul fits right in with the "qualified loser" strain in American politics.

Ron Paul's popular otherwise he wouldn't be polling so well right now.

Can you imagine a Ron Paul vs Barack Obama economic debate? Foreign policy debate? It may be too graphic for young children to watch a slaughter like that on live tv.


It'd be like the econ professor vs the yuppy teenage girl with her stepdad's credit card.

Obamas handlers would never allow such a debate to take place, as we all seen in 2008, he would not debate in a fair forum, he only would debate when the moderators where left leaning and had loaded questions. You probably also witnessed on the right side where Fred Thompson was not allowed to answer a yes and no question with a comment on why he would say yes or no to it.
All of these debates are loaded for the left to look good. Sad really.

I have seen some whiney assed sore losers before, but Jeeeeez! Let's see, we have "truthers", "birthers" and most recently "deathers". What should we call these whiney fuckers who think all of the debates are "rigged"? We certainly can't call them "debaters"....

The whiners who think all elections are rigged/people steal elections already have a name.

They're called Liberals.

Um, he's not polling well. You didnt read the article you posted. If you did, you didn't understand it.

Oh I understood it. He's not polling well in regards to winning the Republican nomination, but he is polling well against Obama compared to the rest of the GOP field. Which must mean he's popular.

Uh, no. You clearly cannot read an article and draw appropriate inferences from it. That marks you as having a lower IQ.
Sorry, that's the fact.

What you talkin' bout, Willis?

I'd love to have faith that Paul has a chance, but I can't have faith in a public that re-elects Bush and will re-elect Obama.

Why would you want to have faith in an electorate that basically wants to return this country to the 18th century when we were a pimple on the back-ass side of the world?

 

[LibocalypseNow]

Unfortunately America is not ready for real Freedom & Liberty. They're just not ready for Dr. Paul yet. Most Americans were born & raised on Government domination by way of the Neocons and Socialists/Progressives. They have grown up on constant Government meddling in their lives. They have also been raised on constant War. Most Americans just don't know anything else. Dr. Paul offers another direction but i just don't think Americans are ready for that direction yet. Hopefully someday they will be though. It's going to be very difficult weening Americans off Government domination and constant War. It will take many years. But it's good to see more people listening to the good Doctor.

The problem wwith Ron Paul are Ron Paul supporters.

At this point in the 2008 election, hillary clinton was DEFINITELY going to be the nominee.

she should have been

I only want us to go back to those fiscal policies, I'm a fiscal conservative.

We've tried recycling back and forth between the status quo fiscal liberals on both sides, and we've had disastrous results, time to try a different strategy.

Sadly what we need is someone with Ron Paul's political views but also has rockstar qualities.

That's why Obama won, not because of this policy views or anything but because he's viewed as "cool" and a rockstar, we need someone with that image but with Ron Paul policy views so our views could do better in an election.
