Ron Paul 2012?

[2Parties]

I think he could do 10-20% in every states Republican primary (much higher than 08)...

Ron Paul is brilliant and is the only politician even worth listening to at this point. That being said,he has no chance. The Socialists and Neocons rule the day. He's a real outsider with no chance of winning support even in his own party. He's a wise & honorable man definitely worth listening to. He'll just keep doing what he does. He never gives up. I really do respect the man.

Ron Paul should walk away from the Republicans & run on a TEA Party ticket. He will get far more than just 5% of Republican votes mainly from Independents & Liberals. It is so screwed up how the man who has called the economy & war far more correctly than any other politicians can get snubbed like this. If he runs as on Tea Party ticket in the 2012 election he will get a much larger percent of the popular vote than Ross Perot did in 1992.

I agree with you. He will not win a Republican party nomination anyway. Republicans are struggling an identity crisis right now. Do they move far rgiht and appease their solid core or do they remain more centrist and hope to pick up a larger share of the swing vote. I'm guessing they let the November elections provide some direction. Whichever type of candidate does best will determine who runs for president. They don't need to control either house after the midterms. In fact that would probably be dangerous. They only need to balance the power more evenly.

Either way, Ron Paul will not be a Republican candidate. He needs to go Tea Party.

I am hoping for congressional gridlock after this 2010 election. I would love to see Ron Paul in the White House after 2012 election. I can just imagine him wearing out that veto pen. K-Street Lobbyist would spin with futility. Pork would be cut to the bone. This is what the founders has in mind. 3 separate legislative houses were to keep each-other in check, not all agree to roll-over for Lobbyist.

This would create political stability so business could forecast long term goals & hiring plans. Business that create jobs & hire love stability, but currently to afraid to stick their neck out because the political winds may change. Wall Street Traders are the ones who love political volatility so they can profit from trading on large swings in the economy.

No B hapnin.
murkins are too stupid to vote that sort of man in.

or who whined about term limits, but wouldn't get his butt out of his nice cushy congressional seat.

The two party system has become a quagmire. Sides are so firmly entrenched and neither is willing to budge. Business and special interests control elected officials from each side equally. I thought Obama was going to be the one to come in and turn Washington on edge. I see I was mistaken though. Conversely his weakness has allowed the ugly head of political corruption to rear itself even further. We need an effective leader who is not bound by party and willing to stand up to special interests even if it means risking political suicide in the process.
