The second ballot is inevitable! Ron Paul takes it to the White House...

And when they do, Ron Paul will end up losing. You can sit here and dream but I choose to live in reality.

What type of drugs are you taking? Faced with voting for Paul, or Obama, I'd probably have to go Obama, and I cant stand the man. While I like Pauls message, he's got no ability to make any of it happen.

More than half of Romney's delegates will vote for Ron Paul... most of Newt Gingrich's delegates being transfered to Ron Paul as well... Second ballot is a done deal...

What on gods earth makes you believe any of this is true? I'm not sure if a Paul supporter should be admired for their continuing support, or if they should be laughed at for simply making things up and then believing they are true..

Freedom from someone else's control, is very liberating.
Something, few never get to feel.



Watch what freedom looks like!

I have a lot of respect for Ron Paul and his message. I respect that he always sticks to his principles. That being said, his delusioned followers almost make me see him in a more negative light. His cult-like following is a huge turnoff. Also - that he always sticks to his principles without ever wavering, while admirable, is also a sign that he is impractical and suggests that his views are unadaptable to real-life situations that would arise if he was elected president. So, to some degree, his ardent adherence to his principles is actually a negative in my mind when thinking about whether he would be a good leader of the free world.

You could say, they are out of CONTROL. Scares people when there is freedom and they cannot control it.

Freedom is very liberating.
The truth will set you free.
