How could Ron Paul win? He’s not even a Republican, he’s Independent. This is the Republic nominee! And his anwsers were at times crazy. We should just sit back and let Iran attack us? How about when we were attacked? I guess just sit back and do nothing! It was a good debate, but what are these people thinking? Newt is just a smooth talker. Hunstman worked for Obama, a Democrat! He should have never done that. I liked Bachmann and Santorum they are really conservative and particpated with the Tea Party. Who’s going to beat Obama? That’s the question.
Ron Paul,
Was the same tonight as he has been in the past. He and I believe in the principles that he stands for and the integrity of Mr. Paul in today’s political environment is unparalleled”!
I hope the American People will wake up in time to realize that Rick Santorum is the best choice on the stage for real conservatives. If you listen to him, his points are consistent, concise and honest. With Santorum, you don’t have to worry about RINO-itis like you do with Romney and Gingrich. You don’t have to worry about him going off the tracks into fruitcake city like Ron Paul. You don’t get that creepy feeling that you do when you listen to Jon Huntsman…the guy with the incessant Cheshire grin. And while I like Michelle Bachman’s positions on many things, I don’t see her beating Obama.
Santorum is not getting the attention he deserves from conservatives. His numbers are anemic right now, but, if he can somehow win Iowa or finish in the top 3, he can continue and offer the absolute best choice for Americans who believe in traditional family values, the Constitution, a strong military, strong business incentives and energy independence.
It’s clear that Republicans just don’t like Romney…never have, never will. He looks good on the stage with his mega-white smile, but it can disquise that nagging suspicion that he is shape-shifting like usual and will do and say whatever it takes to get that next gig for his resume.
Newt has revived his chances, but he has far too much publically available material on what he has said and how he has handled his duties as a career politician…more than enough ammo for Democrats to mount a devastating ad campaign against him.
It is too bad that the Tea Party hasn’t supported Santorum. Time is running out…but the clock is still ticking. Don’t let the Neo-cons win the day again. They are just as bad as the
Democrats.
Ron Paul is RIGHT! Dr Paul has stood alone many times on the stage of the debates…but he does not stand alone among the voters! God Bless Ron Paul!!!
Ron Paul rings true because American’s know the truth about spending and about the cost of frivolous wars.
Was everyone on that stage wanting the US to make war with Iran except Ron Paul or was I missing something??? And how is Iran having a crude nuclear weapon a theat to the US mainland?
And while I don’t agee with Ron Paul on this one it sounds like he is the only one who would not oppose Israel from attacking Iran on their own however they please.
Ron Paul, The only Ration, Intelligent, Pro-life, Experienced Nominee on the stage. Hes a doctor and a veteran, and The most consistent Politician Known to man. Wake up and Smell the benefits.
RON PAUL 2012`
Again, Ron Paul followers stuffed the ballot box like they always do in fox debates. The kook has followers equal to Obama who’ll cheat six ways till Sunday to make their imbecile candidate look good. A cream pie in the face is the only thing that would make Paul look better.
My impression is that Ron Paul had the most insight into some of the problems that we are facing in this country. He pointed out the distorted view that we have of Muslims and the ridiculous way we lump them together when making decisions regarding foreign policy towards Iran. Probably 80% of the Iranians would kick Imanutjob out of office and boot the clerics out of power if they could. Many Iranians have good feelings toward the United States but are suppressed. We should be trying to win the hears of the Iranian people over and covertly undermine his regime. With that said the reality is that the ruling party is dangerous and could possibly in some manner use an atomic weapon against Israel or the West. That’s why we have to have someone in office who has what it takes to make balanced decisions regarding foreign policy. I don’t think it is Ron Paul. He has good ideas but does not seem to be able to put himself on the other side of his idealistic thoughts. Like, what if I am wrong about what Iran is planning on using an atomic weapon if they could? I think Newt Gingrich is the person most likely to be able to make the best decisions because of his experience. I like Rick Santorum but don’t think he is ready for the job. I think Romney is not equipped or savvy enough to beat Obama. Beating Obama is going to be a slugfest and Romney would be knocked out in the third round. I can see Newt going for and possibly getting a knockout but it’s going to be at least 9 rounds and a tough fight.
It’s pretty clear that Obama will beat any of them except Mitt Romney. So what to do?
It amazes me how people think Ron Paul is so “looney” with his foreign policy views. The fact is he knows what he’s talking about, the prime minister of Israel supports his views as does the last prime minister. Not only that, but the US MILITARY supports his views. Ron Paul has twice as much donated from the military than ALL other candidates combined! And he has received $12000 more than Obama from our own US military. Ignorant war mongering conservatives and Bachmann can label his foreign policy “dangerous” but the facts are there.. He obviously knows what he’s talking about.
Kind of reminds me back in 2003 when he said there was a housing bubble that would collapse one day and everyone thought he was an idiot.. Now look at our economy..
Paul knows exactly what he is talking about me, if he doesn’t win presidency there’s a chance we will see hyper inflation and a worthless dollar. If he does win at least we know for a fact America will be on the right track to get out of this economic mess.
Paul knows what he is talking about and if he doesn’t get int
My computer screwed up so my comment is messed up in the last paragraph and the last sentence. But you get the point… Israel and our own military support Paul’s foreign policy views as should the American people.
If the Media wants Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich in office, than we, the American people, need to keep them out of office. The best candidate, and most likely to beat President Obama is Ron Paul.
Ron Paul makes the point that today is Iran, Last year was Iraq, the year before that was Afghanistan, and Iraq again before that Russia, Vietnam, and the list keeps going. We are so concerned with other nations, and their so called “threat” that we forget we have the strongest military in the world! Secondly his foreign policy is the most accepted by our military, who by the way Ron Paul receives three times as many donations from our armed service men and women than all the other GOP candidates combined. If the men and women of the U.S. military agree with his foreign policy then you should rethink yours. He is a constitutionalist, and he plans on not sacrificing our liberty for security. Iran does not pose a threat don’t believe the media hype. We are smarted than that.
Ron Paul is the only one that goes back to the constitution of the United States. Why on earth would I, as an American citizen, support a candidate that has clear intentions of circumventing the U.S. Constitution? That would be the first step on the road to treason.
There are people saying that Ron Paul’s foreign policy is obtuse, but did you hear Michele Bachmann? She basically says it would be a mistake not to go to war with Iran regardless of their nuclear capability!!! She straight up condones instilling fear in the American People using “What ifs”… Are we kidding ourselves? To quote myself, I do not argue your right to choose, I argue your right to dictate others decisions. If you are a Give me liberty or Give me death Patriot then you are lying to yourself if vote for anyone one but Ron Paul.
