The problem with Ron Paul isn't his position on different issues. his problem is that, every time he opens his mouth, he sounds like a whiney lunatic.

American voters will never elect someone like that to the Presidency...

Thank GOD he'll lose...thinking of you as a Republican makes me sick.

What has he done to fight terrorism besides mentioning 9/11 as many times as possible and talking about the wonders of Gitmo? Also, are you saying you don't care about the social aspects that have come to encompass the Republican party? He was mayor of New York.

I have this fondness for Rudy because of his stance on abortion, which is actually not confusing one bit and very sensitive. I like his ideas about energy independance, though ethanol isn't worth it. But his war stance is bullshit. And he's got no foreign policy experience. He's not tough on terrorism. His city got hit twice while he was the mayor, so it just doesn't make sense this whole "he's strong on terror" thing.

I agree with you on Thompson. Besides being really unprepared and boring, he's all Bush Redux.

Ron Paul is the only candidate who stands clearly on traditional Republican values. If he can bring the troops home and make the relationship with Israel a more neutral one since they have nukes and can defend themselves, I'll be happy with that. If he can get rid of the Patriot Act and the Homeland Security Dept, I would be extatic. He could serve one very productive term, and then everyone would deride him and get rid of him after he tried to disband the CIA or the Dept of Education or something like that.

It's the Terrorists 2 and Giuliani 0 in my opinion. His city got hit twice and he rejected advice of city officials and had a bunker built in the WTC so then had nowhere to go but to roam the streets on 9/11. It's all posturing. He's not stronger on terrorism, in fact he's weaker since he still has yet to grasp America's effect on the Middle East.

I'm sorry, but Mike Huckabee is a dufus. He's like the Paul Tsongas of this campaign.

So this clearly shows you know nothing about which he did when he was up at justice...but is that a surprise? The troll has his facts wrong, oh well.

I think also because he led a city so close to Canadian waters and the Canadian border he should also get some appreciation, imagine having to be so close to that fucking country on a day to day basis.

Interesting.

Lemme' ask ya' a couple of things, may I?

The first attack on the World Trade Center was on February 26, 1993. Giuliani didn't take office until January 1, 2004. Why would you blame Giuliani for that?

Also, what exactly should Giuliani have done to keep a plane, which took off out of Boston, from slamming into a building in Manhattan? Your statement makes pretty clear the fact that you hold him responsible for that. Given that, I'd love to hear what one of our enlightened neighbors to the north thinks Giuliani could've done to keep that from happening.

Thanks so much...

I travel to Canada all the time, and I love it. It's a stunningly beautiful country. Plus, Canadian women absolutely love American men. Must be something about Canadian men not takin' care o' dey' bidness...

I think you are thinking about polls online that are not scientific. His supporters tend to e-mail each other and post on discussion boards they frequent to flood these polls with votes. Scientific polls taken of likely republican voters show him at between 1 and 10 percent.

If that.

Women love men who are from somewhere else. That's how come American women like my mom married a Canadian guy. That's also why they love accents so much too.

Ok, it's the Terrorists 1 Giuliani 0. There isn't anything Giuliani could have done about 9/11. That's my point. He's given points for simply being the mayor of the city that got attacked. It follows no logic. But since he's so pro-war and shows such a lack of understanding about the Middle East, that makes him unsuitable for office. Plus, the only problem he sees with America is that it needs to be more optimistic. He's just another big bad sentimental Republican who thinks that faith and sentiment are good substitutes for actual strategy or rational thinking.

You all should be so proud that I would vote for Ron Paul for president. I'm a lefty, but Paul stands by all the traditional Republican values, which I find to be very noble.

Can someone explain to me how straw polls work? Who are these straw people? Because according to those, Ron Paul kicks ass.
