I agree. The presidency is a lost cause. He's more useful as a catalyst for change in public opinion.

Paul seems to be more in the business of changing minds than changing things as a result of edict. Also non-war mongerer =\= isolationist. Some people refuse to learn.

War-mongering =/= attacking countries that attack us

attacking countries without doing anything=/= war-mongering. The Iraq and Afghanistan Wars = war-mongering. World War I and II = necessary wars.

Tell me, when one is attacked, and loses about 2000+ of its citizen as a result, does one just sit by and do nothing? (No conspiracy crap please)

We were attacked by five terrorist thugs with boxcutters. That isn't IRAQ attacking us. If Iraq sent a fleet of drone planes and started bombing us, then that would be Iraq attacking us. But its not.

This is like saying that if a group of KKK members went to africa and killed some people, Africa is justified in going to war with all of America because we attacked them.

That's false. He wants are presence all over the world by means of trading and diplomacy. He doesn't want an empire, military occupation, nation building, selecting dictators and bombing everyone.

You seem to think that hes isolationist because he doesn't want to bomb the world. Wanting to be at war with everybody is the true isolationism and alienates everyone.

Oh yes it does. Again, I do not expect him to be president in 2012, and he might have a slighter higher chance in 2016 or 2020 (there's nothing for him after that), but I still do not think he will become president. But I am not willing to discount his presidency. He still has a very good chance of winning the Republican Nomination either this year or in 2016.

I think Rand Paul has a better chance of being Prez in 2016/2020 than Ron Paul, tbh.

Clearly not. Right now, he wants to finish in New Jersey, and it wouldn't be good for him politically to run for president right now.

Generally, once your done as president, everyone hates you.

This race is the first time I've been exposed a lot to Ron Paul and he's nowhere near as insane as I use to think. Then again, I've even listened to Newt and agreed with him a couple of times, so take your pick what's scarier.

However... the man sounds like an 80-year old teenager just entering puberty. I cannot, for the life of me, stand the way he speaks. It's not exactly fluid, he's definitely no orator, it's just not impressive in the least.

And the devotion his followers get - wow. I consider myself a pretty devoted partisan, but the man has an utter personality cult. In fact, I may do a report on how Paul supporters could possibly be their own cult for my cult psychology class. Seriously. If he asked them very slyly to bomb some city, a good portion of them would. That's the impression I get.

That's interesting, considering the man has been debating politics in the public arena for decades.

Romney and Obama are awesome orators. That's about where their awesomeness ends.

I think the pertinent question is "why?" When you look up a Ron Paul debate from the 80s, and he's saying the exact same things he's saying now, it kind shocks you into believing that he may have right on his side after all. Obama and Romney's views probably just shift with the political wind.

He may become VP. Santorum is a more likely choice though, Suzanna Martinez seems the best though.

I like detectableninja's idea of Romney/Paul ticket. Romney is the most electable of the candidates. But I like Santourm/Paul better because I like Santorum better.

I love that idea, but unfortunately, I am going to have to go Romney/Paul. If Paul is not going to be president, in the end, I am going to support the candidate that has the greatest chance of beating Obama. And unfortunately right now, that is Romney. But if Santorum can somehow keep up the roll he is on and possibly overtake Romney...

what if rick Santorum wins as he is on the incline in the polls and has the second most delegates.

If Sanotrum can stay on the roll he is on and keep winning caucases, I will throw my support with him. I want whoever can beat Obama.

How could you possibly like Santorum and Paul when they are ideological opposites. Santorum is the very definition of a Big Government conservative who would seek to expand the military industrial complex and surveillance state. The guy is as status quo as it gets.

That's dumb. Romney IS Obama... they have the exact same policies. Obama is every bit as "conservative" as Romney is, and Romney is every bit as "liberal" as Obama is. They both play the harlot... both true-blue politicians to the end. Gingrich is a self-serving neo-con, and Santorum would want to waterboard truant kids from school.

Why do you settle for the lesser of two evils? Ever heard the phrase, "The enemy of my enemy is not my friend?" That applies to this conversation.

Well Romney is a bit more Conservative than Obama. But Romneycare=Obamacare. No question there. Romney does not exactly equal Obama.

Well I don't think we have a choice considering Ron Paul isn't going to get elected.

I would have Romney over Obama and Santorum over Romney. Whoever can beat Obama.
