Been asked before, but how many of you have actually looked at what Ron Paul believes and based on that?

would you vote for him? I think he is the most logical and best suited choice for president. I toyed with voting for him last election but didnt follow through. I challenge people who claim to at least support the tea party to find flaw in his logic. Backing him in 08 was a bold and smart move by the libertarians. We could get the man elected. Lets get the message out now.

Update:

He is only a longshot if his supporters fail to get the message out. Too many people are convinced to be afraid of what he stands for. Why? Because that kills the establishment on both sides and craps in their little sandbox

    Fox news has already listed him as a "Long shot candidate" lets see if they will try and censor him again this presidential election like they did last election.

    I agree with you, I don't think he's a long shot. After considering how much support he has gained in the last two years I think many of Fox's "major contenders" could not even compete with this man's following. He proplably has a bigger following world wide than President Obama. I think if the Mainstream Media gave him at least half of the coverage that they give other potentials he would wipe the floor with them.

    He's the best candidate for president that I've seen in recent memory. He's not perfect (who is), but his record is consistent. He votes against any bill that gives the Federal Government power that isn't stated explicitly in the Constitution. He supports individual liberties and small government.

    Yes, he believes in the same stuff everybody else does, except he wants loonly stuff like bringing back the gold standard and abolishing the Fed, or whatever psychotic ravings he is known for.

    He favors free trade, so he's just another face in the crowd as far as I'm concerned. And politician who favors free trade is an enemy of the U.S. born worker.

    BTW, did you know he's older than John McCain? He's a candidate for a nursing home by 2012.

    Except that Ron Paul will be in his 70's by the next election. I like what he stands for, but his time has passed.

    The problem with Ron Paul is that his philosophy will never work in the real world. That's where we all live, BTW.

    I toyed with it too. I don't think we were ready. We were still asleep. We could be ready now. I'd consider it again.

    He's unrealistic.

    His philosophy is based on abundant resources.

    Real conservatives who don't believe in outlandish spending on 'Defense' are not welcome in the Republican Party.
