I would still like to see Newt win Iowa, because I think the quicker he puts this away, the quicker he can concentrate on Obama.

I'm actually thinking that would be a good thing myself, albeit for different reasons. I don't think the Republicans will, in the end, allow Paul to be the nominee no matter how popular he is. The sooner that becomes apparent, the sooner it's obvious that Republican support for liberty and limited government is mere lip-service, the sooner we can start building real third party challenge.
I have no problem with Ron Paul taking his bags of Crazy and going to the Libertarian Party and getting 1% of the vote...
Moderator: "Gov' Perry can you name the Three Stooges?"If enough Democrats cross over to vote for Paul he might win the Iowa Caucus. That will be the high point of not just his campaign but his political career.
Gov' Perry: "Yes, Larry, Moe and uh, uh... Larry, Moe and, umm. Manny, Moe and Jack? Uni, Roy and Al?
(Turns to Ron Paul)"Dr. Paul how many Stooges are there?"
James Richard "Dick" Perry = Moron.
Dr Paul, do you think Iran ought to have a nuke?
It's perfectly reasonable for them to. They are surrounded by enemies like Israel. North Korea ought to have nukes. Hell, Swaziland and Somalia ought to have nukes. I support nukes in every garage. No one should object unless someone actually uses one against them. Then it's too late, but at least I'm still a libertarian about it.
The thing is there are already three parties with significant influence and therein lies the problem. There is the Republican Party, the Democratic Party and then there is the Moderate/Progressive party which is a conglomeration of the two. Unfortunately the Moderate/Progressive Party has control right now. There has been a homegenization of our political parties and they have lost thier way. Ron Paul holds to the original Republican platform.

Heh... he do much better than that this time, no one really doubts that. No one really thinks he have a chance to win either, but he could do well enough to build a genuine movement for freedom, one not bound by the baggage of status-quo Republican conservatism.
The only thing I worry about is that he's almost too old to run again after this election (barring a reelection bid for the WH of course), and I'm not sure who else could take over and continue the 3rd party momentum.
Ron Paul has a lot of good ideas but not in military. Taking troops out of the middle east is not a good idea at all.
I don't understand why any would support him because he is starting to lose his hearing. If he can't hear well now, what will it be like in 2013,14,15 and 16?
If you are the leader of our nation you must be able to hear well.

That's almost a good thing in my view. Ron Paul is not without his flaws, and we need young blood to take up the cause. My hope is that he'll use the clout and influence he's gathered over the last decade or so to drive a stake in the ground for that effort.
I fear that at the end of the day, people are attached more to him than the message. I'm afraid the message could slowly die with him. And I understand why that would be. It's not just the message with Paul, it's HIM. He's got 30+ years of a record you can depend on when it comes to the message. He's the only one most of us can really trust. So who can come in and continue that after he's gone? I don't know about you, but I'm going to have an extremely hard time trusting someone the way I trust him because someone like him in politics only comes along once a generation, at best. The only one I'd even remotely consider beyond him would be Rand.
I'm going to write Paul in regardless in the general, because even though I'm a registered republican I'd never throw my vote away by picking the lesser of 2 evils. But Rand is someone I could give my vote to for president. I'd love to see him run in '16.

How do you really count that as a 'third party' though? If anything, it supports the supposition that there's only 'one party' in the US.
Have they started printing the Rand Paul signs yet? Gotta keep those Paulbots interested ya know. As soon as this cycle is over they will on jump on the Rand bandwagon. Seems we are doomed to this stupidity for the rest of our lives.
Sigh
