I think Washington insiders will always make sure that somebody like Ron Paul does not come into power. If he does a lot of people in Washington are going to loose their jobs. If there ever comes a time that somebody like Ron Paul has a realistic chance of winning the election, both democrats and republicans might unite against him.

Ok, how many of you would vote for this guy and how many of you think he could actually win?

I *THINK* would vote for him but first have to know more about him that what appears on the surface.

However, about him winning, I don’t know about that. The American public is notorious for being the most idiotic there is, after all they voted for Bush, not once but TWICE!

kev: And, as evidenced by some of the comments on this thread, the strength of the wedge issue persists. God forbid anyone spend the time necessary to educate themselves on the issues; rather, let’s focus on single issues and lose sight of the big picture.

That is what got Bush elected twice: The ability of Rove to create divisive wedge issues that diverted focus, and allowed for an effective divide and conquer strategy.

There is not a single candidate out there right now that has offered a more honest, and pragmatic, view of what confronts us right now than Ron Paul. And I consider this guy a fringe player (based on his politics and voting record). I wouldn’t vote for any of the Republican candidates (other than Paul) and certainly none of the Democrats.

He believes that this issue is for the states to decide.

I disagree with that, but I will change my statement:

If he thinks *anyone but me* should be able to control what goes on inside my very own body, I’m confident that he would attempt to control my right to a vote, free speech, atheism, security, etc. I will not vote for him.

You must look at all the issues facing the nation right now and see how each candidate will handle it.

I take your point, but this one is a show-stopper. I disagree with all of them on some points, but this position is unacceptable for me.
