    Ron Paul has no chance of being the Repub nominee. None at all. I know that there is a rabid minority that hates to hear it, but that's just the way it is.

    No. Ron Paul does no longer have a huge gamble of fixing into the Republican Nominee. previous guard Republicans will never enable the conflict device to be diminished in any way by way of all of us. Republicans does no longer be mushy with Ron Paul and that's an irony.

    There's a lot to like about Ron Paul. Integrity, honesty, forthrightness, libertarian and isolationist in some of the right places. But then theres that 25% of Ron Paul that consists of economic batshit nuttiness straight out of "Atlas Shrugged" that just makes him impossible to take seriously as a presidential candidate.

    I think had we elected Ron Paul in 2000 instead of the war mongering moron we would all be better off . The " war machine " can spend another billion dollars to discredit him , but they can't stop me from voting for him .

    The chance of a snowball in H**l.

    His thinking is much too far away from the mainstream.

    He is such a Libertarian that he has called for the legalization of hard drugs.

    "Do conservatives know of Paul’s libertarian stand on legalization of hard drugs, prostitution and gay marriage? Will conservatives support him once they do?"

    He's a conspiracy theory loon.

    That's what cost him the 2007 nomination.

    So no, he doesn't stand a chance.

    years ago I would have said yes, but after doing a lot of research on Ron Paul I'd say his views are to radical for him to get nominated.

    Excellent on the Constitution- He's a real game changer and is molding public thought as a real leader.
