Wouldn't Ron Paul have a much better chance of winning the Presidency if he ran as an Independent.....?

Unfortunately, the Independent Party is not a prominent political force in America, and is undermined by the massive indoctrination from left and right wing ideologues. A manifestation of a third party political force in presidential elections and mainstream politics would be beneficial, as it would eradicate all the extremists on both sides of the political spectrum, and restore some sanity into politics.

If Ron Paul runs as an independent the result will be exactly the same as Ross Perot's candidacy in 1992 and 1996; Republicans will split the vote between two candidates thus assuring a Democratic victory. I hope he runs as an independent. That will make it more likely that Obama goes down as being re-elected by an electoral landslide.

Yeah, like Perot: zero Electoral College votes.

Ron the con man Paul is a political charlatan.

He's a con who abuses the political process to con naive lemmings outa campaign contribs.

He raised $6 mil in one day at a Tea Party rally. Most of that he's allowed to keep.

He uses the high profile of a pres campaign to boost his book sales & lecture fees.

Paul is to politics what Peter Popoff the holy water salesman is to religion.

i've got faith it won't ensue in 2012 via fact the united states of a it remains floating and has no longer hit all-time low yet. each and each 4 years the republicans and the Democrats take turn messing up the united states of a . could be interior the 365 days 3012 we could have a extra useful threat of a self reliant triumphing and saving the solid old us of a

I hate to make this analogy but Ron Paul will be the Ralph Nader of the 2012 Republican election. Man, I really hate to make that comparison because Ralph Nader is the MAN. Ron Paul is scum.

He has no intention of being the President. He just wants his ideas heard mostly. He has been heard and should get out since he averages about 7% or so, not nearly enough.

He doesn't have a chance in getting elected at all, no matter what his political affiliation is.

Morons amaze me, they believe they can put a certain loser into a magical 3rd loser party and he will win.
