Does Ron Paul have a legitimate chance?

Favorite Answer

No

Many of his points about the economy are legitimate. But his foreign policies are laughable...Show more

If he didn't then the establishment wouldn't be running scared trying to black out his campaign.

Count em. No matter how you slice it, he's a top tier candidate, and thats IN SPITE of the fact that he always gets the least time to speak at the debates and the least media coverage.

@ NoQuestion, that's not true. If the GOP does not nominate Ron Paul, then his supporters will split the vote and Obama will win. RP supporters are too smart to vote for a ******* demon like Romney just because he's a Republican. Not to mention all the independent and liberal votes the GOP will be forfeiting if they nominate anyone besides Paul.

@ VietNam Vet - you have very poor reading comprehension skills. The answers you received on your question about "RuPaul" unanimously explained to you that the country is going to hell whether you vote in Romney or Obama, because they work for the same people.

Here it is, please read the answers again and keep re-reading them until you get it through your skull.

It has nothing to do with "our guy winning" it has everything to do with the fact that ALL THE OTHER MAJOR CANDIDATES ARE GLOBALISTS. You know what? Nominate Gary Johnson if you don't like Ron Paul. Or present another candidate who's not a globalist.

But don't expect ANY informed conservative to vote for a guy like Mitt Romney who supports the bailouts, socialized healthcare, carbon taxes, the Federal Reserve, and the wars.

If the GOP wants to get Obama out of office, it WILL nominate Ron Paul. If it doesn't, then that means they would rather lose than see Ron Paul in office.

If you want Obama out of office, you need to throw all your support behind Ron Paul RIGHT NOW because that's the only way it's going to happen.

Do you hate and fear liberty SO MUCH that you would actually prefer to keep Obama than vote for Paul in the primaries? That's YOUR choice to make. We've already made ours. Better get with the program. Make the "logical assessment" and choose wisely....Show more

Dumb question. Yes he does

Ron Paul 2012...Show more

-Sadly, the hypocrisy of "Dr. No" doesn't end with deceptive campaign ads about his record and the betrayal of his purported libertarian principles. He is also a downright fraud when it comes to big-government spending. While representing himself for decades as the sworn enemy of overspending, the good doctor has had his snout deep in the earmark trough. In 2007, the Wall Street Journal reported, "The Congressman disclosed his requests this year for about $400 million worth of federal funding for no fewer than 65 earmarks. They include such urgent national wartime priorities as an $8 million request for the marketing of wild American shrimp and $2.3 million to fund shrimp-fishing research." And this is the man who had the effrontery to berate Ronald Reagan for deficit spending.-

So no, and that's a Good Thing. Ron Paul sucks....Show more

Interesting question. In the early days of the 1980 election, Reagan was way below Bush in the polls.
Early 1992, nobody knew the name William Jefferson Clinton. In early 2008, noone even gave President Obama a snow balls chance in hell. Any thing can happen....Show more
