    Ron Paul

    No chance at winning. Americans are not isolationists. He is a libertarian and that is not what we need.

    He is Ron Paul, http://www.ronpaul2008.com/ .

    Also, he has a 0% rating from NARAL, which I think is great. I might disagree with him on immigration and drilling in ANWR (IF a SAFE way to do so and transport the oil can be found) , but all in all he is quite good.

    I wish he would consider running for the Unity08 Nomination if he doesn't win the GOP Nomination. I'd like to see him team up with someone from Democrats for Life to meet Unity'08's requirement of a bipartisan ticket. Otherwise I may end up having to vote for Joe Schriner to support ideas I believe in, even though I don't see how he has the experience or leadership ability to be President (well, he can't win anyway, so that is not much of a problem).

    Bernie

    It is Ron Paul. He is on my short list of people I am thinking of voting for...

    If and when he loses the primary, he should run on the Libertarian Party ticket. Now that his name is more well known, he could significantly boost their numbers

    Heck no. The first four are ok. After that, the only thing I like is being against amnesty for illegals.

    Ron Paul. He has no chance of winning, if he comes close to the Presidency he will be assassinated. I'm still going to vote for him in the primary though.

    With the exception of the position on taxes and maybe the federal gun control bit, he sounds like my kind of guy. Who is he?

  • 1 decade ago

    Ron Paul ? Maybe

    Such a candidate DOES NOT exist. If he did, he will NOT get elected. He is too good and honest.

    Dennis Kacinich (can't spell his name tho).

    "Good and honest" as Pathfind said.

  • 1 decade ago

    No. I don't care who it is.
