Is Ron Paul too old to run?

Ron Paul announced today he will not run for his congressional seat in 2012, in order to focus on the republican primaries. His re-election to congress should have been a shoo-in, so this begs the question. At 75 years old, is Ron Paul too tired to run and represent?

After he loses the primaries and is out of work, will Ron Paul live on his government pension and use government-funded health care until the day he dies?

    Isn't it funny how some people cannot answer a questions without name calling NWO and so on.

    I do believe he is tool old. I was a constituent of his for many years and am glad to see he is finally making way for someone who will represent Texas and not just his own dreams of empire.

    As for President. He has no chance, never did never will.

    Yes. Reagan's early symptoms of Alzheimer's were covered up early in his second term, as was his tinted hair.

    Id say its a bit late for him to think about being the Pres. anymore.I personally think he would have been an ok President a while back.But no one took him serious.

    He is not too old, but he's a bit too rigid and too incapable of saving us from Barack Hussein Obama in my opinion.

    I might say okay to Paul, but the life of our nation is at stake and if that disgusting Obama gets reeelcted we're finished. The focus must be on defeating him and driving him from our midst once and for all, period.

    Michele Bachman is probably the viable choice, and I don't want "Ron Paul" in there screwing her up.

    Yes to all questions.

    Sort of ironic isn't it?

  • That's the perfect slave rant! The Globalist who hate Dr. Paul love you for your obedience. Anything to keep him out of the Oval Office.

    Fight the NWO!

    Yes. In addition, he's a libertarian. He will never make it past the GOP primaries.

    No, he has more wisdom in his little finger than Obama will ever have.
