| It would be helpful if you provided a link. Here's the link, if anyone is interested. God I really hope he doesn't get elected. I just can't see him being good for the USA. He's a major proponent of Isolationism. |

| Actually, he's not a proponent of isolationism at all. He believes in free trade. Isolationism is a two part foreign policy- the military policy of non-intervention, which Ron Paul DOES support, and the economic policy of protectionism, which he does not. Protectionism means having laws which restrict foreign trade, such as high tariffs. Ron Paul does not believe that at all. He believes in government non-intervention in trade in any way. It's called laissez-faire capitalism, and it won't happen. Probably ever.

| I have to admit that is pretty awesome raising that much money for someone who doesn't stand much of a chance. Still undecided who I am going to vote for, but I really like alot of what I hear about Ron Paul. I agree with MOST of his stances, I am glad he is fucking honest instead of another 'smiley-glad-hands with hidden agendas'.

| I think he has a good chance. I bet he raises $10-20M in the next donation blitz that's being organized It's sad, but this all comes down to money. Money is power, don'tchaknow.

| That's his obstacle? Seems it's the Republicans' obstactle because of how they've dug themselves in a hole with this one. Look around at the public opinion on war right now in this country. Add one more year of it to what we have now, and it only gets worse. It's the anti-war candidate that's going to win this one. |

| Ron Paul's wife told me "Grass-fires are hard to start, but when they do, they're hard to stop" ![]() He really has a snowball's chance in hell to get the nomination. But you never know. In my area, I've only seen two or three Romney bumper stickers, and about five Giuliani ones. I've seen dozena and dozens of Ron Paul stickers.
