Seems mighty dictorial to me!

No. Just give them more facts to create more wisdom. But if they don't know what they don't know, how can the even know without being told?

With these "facts" they can continue along the same path or choose a different one.

I'm not dictating anything to anyone....merely suggesting....based on the facts I've researched (which I can't give you everything to support my case in a thread but will in a book).

I am but a messenger... Some will like the message, others won't. Same with Ron Paul.

How about "War Loving?"

The thing is why would a GOP member want to vote for Ron Paul, when he uses those words such as neo-cons. Most American people hear that and figure he's in with the crazies. I'm still in the belief that his hardcore supporters hurt him more than helped him. I just hope the next Libertarian candidate, whether they be a Democrat (Kucinich or Gravel) or GOP (Paul), that they don't revert to this name-calling crap, it's not smart politics.

Ron Paul reported some $6 million cash on hand for February 1st...his primary wasn't expensive...I didn't hear about massive $6 million dollar ad buys for supertuesday/beyond

Does anyone know where the $6 million + what he's raised since has gone?

Actually, Paul is not out of the race yet.



His Campaign sucks. They don't know how to communicate so the media thought he was officially out of the race, when he is still not. He has no hope to win anything of course, but he's still in the race.

At least he listened to the bitching that has happened since the last 7 minute speech that pretty much took the wind out of the sails of many.

I blogged that it's not too late, but he should forego the Republican party and go 3rd as a Liberarian or Constitution candidate.

He's stuck on transforming this "New" Republcian party of neo-conservatism back to the "Old" Republican party platform of conservativsm. I just don't think they'll even let him speak at the convention as he stands for everything they're not in their goal of trying to "unify" the party.

I wouldn't vote for this "new" Republican party if my life depended upon it.

And I don't think Paul should try and reform that for which can't be reformed. Instead he should take one of the other two parties to the next level of recognition. This should be his "next phase."

He did it once, fricking do it again!

This must be why Hillary is staying in the race too even though mathematically it would take a near-miracle to win the nomination.

Random thoughts:

I know it won't come down to this, but wouldn't it be something if it came down to Puerto Rico's 63 delegates?

Only Montana and South Dakota would be left with a total of 47 delegates.

You realize we have another 2 1/2 months of this?.... and then we get to spend more time talking about the superdelegates!

Obama seems to have it wrapped up even though Clinton has more superdelegates. Of course Obama has outspent Clintion 4:1 on these superdlegates.

If the nomination was supposed to be decided by pledged delegates given from caucuses in Wyoming where 6,000 young people show off, and the elderly and poor are restricted from voting, then we wouldn't have superdelegates

^Actually, old people vote way more and far more often than young people. I'm kind of confused by your argument, so Hillary is being screwed for not getting the old vote? That's kind of like her crying about getting asked the first question each interview... If she had her way, the media would be a 24/7 praise of her stupid policies.

You can't caucus by mail, which many older voters are forced to do, due to medical or general physical conditions

It's a very unfair system, it's only in place because it's free and state's hate paying for fair primaries

I think I will take the real anti-establishment position and have more respect for Ron Paul!
