Ron Paul: A Texas Thorn in Rick Perry's Side
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/art...de_111342.html
Came across this interesting article about Paul and Perry. Mentioned in it is Debra Medina, a former TXGov candidate (who I voted for during the most-recent election) and current Paul supporter.
It's a shame that the mainstream politicians get all the attention, while the underdog (one like Paul) who has some pretty good ideas backed with no-nonsense bluntness is getting very little...at least for now.
Though I'm not settled on any one specific candicate yet, I am tuning in to Paul more and more each day...

He's definitley unwaivering in his anti-federal, pro-individual stance, and apparently has remained constant for many, many years.
For the dissenter who says he's un-electable, he's only "un-electable" until enough people do the research and realize he has potential...

Yes. They were instructed by the mass media to feel that way about him and they follow directions very well.

That is what ObamAA+ offered. Several huge quantities of potential.

Perhaps he did, but where's the experience or proof to support his potential?
I certainly would not put Paul and Obama in the same category of "potential." Since the military supported Paul monetarily more than Obama, that should tell us something...

No
I look at track record. Business track record. Banks look at track records. Obama will loan a friend money and refuse to look at track record.
Paul is pressing economic theory that had potential 100 years ago and will not function in modern commerce. it has no proven track record. Reminds me of the spruce Goose airplane. no service record.

"...There’s a long interview with "The Daily Show” host in the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine, and in it Mr. Stewart holds up the libertarian GOP presidential aspirant as an example of something that’s unusual in US politics: consistency."
My, my, my -- isn't that interesting?!?!

When did he say that?
Gotta clip?
What Ron Paul wants is to bring the troops home and let them stay in their air conditioned homes with their families.
