As the race for the Republican nomination heats up, there's one candidate who's been largely ignored by the mainstream media.

But Ron Paul is talking sense and more people ought to listen to him.

The Texas congressman has visionary ideas about where the country ought to be going and what sea changes are necessary in order to continue being a superpower.

When Paul ran for the Republican nomination in 2008 – he talked about the economy imploding, the untenable nature of the national debt, the eventual destruction of our currency and a limited role for government.

He showed tremendous fund-raising ability and had an absolutely rabid base of support. The problem was – it was too small.

In the four years since then, many of the things Paul warned us about have happened: We're deeper in debt. The dollar is worth less. The federal government is increasingly dysfunctional, and the country is more divided than at any time maybe since the Civil War.

Yes, Ron Paul is a conservative. But he's not one of those who hits you over the head with his bible. And looking at the current batch of republican wanna-bees, he stands out as maybe the only adult in the room.

In politics as in life, it's often the timing that makes the difference. In the case of Ron Paul, it seems events over the last four years have finally caught up with the candidate.

Paul's message hasn't changed – but the urgency of what he's saying has increased. And it seems like this time, more people may be listening.

He came within an eyelash of finishing first in the Iowa straw poll. Less than 200 votes behind Michele Bachmann out of nearly 17,000 cast.

Michele Bachmann has no chance of being the next president of the United States. Maybe Ron Paul should be.

Here’s my question to you: Is Ron Paul the only grown-up running for president on the Republican side?

Ron Paul is a LIBERTARIAN, he is NOT a repukelican't.

He has ZERO chance of ever winning the repukelican't nomination.

OBVIOUSLY he has alot of good constitutional ideas, but many of his other positions, reasoned or not, kill his chances of EVER being president.

The AMERICAN people are NOT ready to elect a president who wants to make drugs legal.

You Paultards are pissing into the wind.

You must like the smell?

Because trying to nominate Ron Paul as the repukelican't Presidential candidate is USELESS.

But, by all means, this is still America so have at it.

I guess it is WARM after all, right?

Paul has a chance. If people like you who claim to be constitutionalists realize that he is the best chance we have. No he isn't perfect but he is honest. Do you trust Romney or Perry? I don't.

Some of his positions may not be mainstream. But if you are for freedom and limited government you would agree with him.

Shame on you for calling someone a tard because they support the constitution.

The REALITY is that ...

Ron Paul has ZERO chance.

ZERO

It doesn't matter what YOU and I do. The numbers are impossible. HISTORY has proven that third partys are LOSERS for sure.

LOL! The ONLY way that he could ever even have a chance is as the repukelican't candidate, and THAT is NEVER going to happen.

Because his LIBERTARIAN views are just too kOOkY for the vast majority of even CONSTITUTIONAL CONSERVATIVES to swallow again in that good ol "at least he's better than fill in dotted line" "game".

I do agree with MOST of what he SAYS, BUT I find many of his important positions on important issues unacceptable. AND I'm a pretty "liberal" CONSERVATIVE. BUT again it doesn't matter F all what you and I think. As I have just explained. AGAIN.

I didn't call him, or anybody else, a "retard" for supporting the US CONSTITUTION.

I call the mindless cult of personality which MOST of his followers joyously accept and promote to be both illogical, AND UN-AMERICAN. The F ing guy has been in office for F ing DECADES and he hasn't done SHITALL of what he claims to believe.

Yeah yeah he never voted for a tax, even IF that's true and I F ing doubt it, so F ing what?

The PaulTARDS claim to despise the messiah "king" obammy's record of voting "present".

Nihilism isn't ACTION. Certainly not CONSTITUTIONAL action.

What is RETARDED is worshipping a little flawed man.

ANY little flawed man, which means ALL men.

Ron Paul has ZERO chance.

ZERO

So you'd prefer to be duped by "lesser of two evils" argument, eh? Since both the DNC and GOP are the very best government that money can buy, your voting for either sock-puppet gives tacit approval to on-going corruption in D.C.

I voted for Ron Paul in 2008, and donated to his campaign. I'll do the same again.

Oh, and you might want to check THIS out, before you just write off Paul.

The one good thing to have come out of the whole debt-cieling debacle, is that people are waking up fast. Maybe enough will wake up, to where we can TRULY throw the bums out on their asses.

We'll see.

AND ... THAT ... LOGICALLY and SANELY .... follows from what I said how EXACTLY?.

Oh yeah, IT DOESN'T.

I don't care who you vote for.

It's YOUR vote.

As long as it isn't for the commie monster FRAUD why should I care?

Oh yeah ...

===

Anyways ...

I don't piss myself over things that I cannot change.

I do MY best.

Then I LIVE.

I don't freak out and cry when things are different that I would like.

I AM water.

WE are WATER.

What is a river?

The water or the banks?

It was a response to your comment about Paul have no chance. The following comment you made, clearly explained your position:

The numbers are impossible. HISTORY has proven that third partys are LOSERS for sure.

I understand your point. MY point is simple: voting for the less-corrupted party, is still voting for corruption.

I will vote for Ron Paul and any Tea Party candidates in my area, during the next election. I'm done with both major parties.
