Ron Paul, the next Nader?

I think we should send all those crazy right wing religous freaks over to the mideast....and bring our troops Home

my impressions here, if I should care to waste my time? a snide bit scandalous and potentially petty. what's up with that pouting graphic of Paul himself presumably?? What a piece of shite. and this "He actually admitted..."??? Most people would already know Paul hated the war. but perhaps more impressive, ikeula', your icon looks like it came from an 'I Am Legend' screenshot =P

oh, and dissimulator...like I'd bet your "leftist" bleeding heart hardly even reacted to scream for vengeance when they pitched that terrorist bs to you too. When the war was first "discussed," no one could hardly find a dissenter man enough to bring his big balls to the table...now???...pfff...a little late in the game.

A duopoly is not a democracy. I hope that some day one of these 3rd parties will break through, especially if they share Ron Paul's economic and international policy philosophy/record. Neither head of the talking Republicrat monster discusses the issues that I believe would bring real change and prosperity to the majority of Americans.

When you add all the people that wants to vote for Nader, Paul, Kucinich, Barr, McKinney & the 50% who don't vote anymore you get a huge chuck of WE THE PEOPLE who have no voice, no representation, no political power while corporations are lobbying the crap out of Congress, Senate & White House.

"Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner." -- James Bovard / Lost Rights. The Destruction of American Liberty

"I wouldn't call it fascism exactly, but a political system nominally controlled by an irresponsible, dumbed down electorate who are manipulated by dishonest, cynical, controlled mass media that dispense the propaganda of a corrupt political establishment can hardly be described as democracy either." -- Edward Zehr - (1936-2001) Columnist

PROOF OF CONCEPT ?

In a true democracy this would not happen...

i know Ron Paul wants to legalize weed but that is the only thing i know about him

would he do anything else worth wile

i guess i don't care I'm leaving this country as soon as i get the chance

We will never be free so long as the corporations are in control.

I don't know one democrat who would vote for Ron Paul. He's closer to right than left by a long shot.

Ralph Nader has far more accomplishments of service to the USA on his resume than Ron Paul could ever hope for.

saved more lives too

I wanted a "Revolution" but i'm reluctantly settling for "Hope" /: \

I don't think he is the next Nader. I think every presidential election year there is always a third wheel that the youth tend to back at first that gets them in the media but they end up settling for one of the major candidates. Example: Nader in 2000, Kucinich in 2004, Ron Paul now in 2008. There will be someone in 2012 also. From the pattern I am guessing it would either be the Greens turn or an independent unless the Libertarians want to throw someone in. Rate our economy bale out seems to be going though the Socialist party might stand a chance in 2012.

I think Ron Paul is just being Ron Paul, which is a good thing.

Face it, we so need election reform. There are political parties who offer just as much if not more than the two sets of Washington insiders from which we're always forced to choose by the corporatocracy that runs the governement. It's our government! We elect these people. We need to demand a more equitable representation of our interests and more accountability of the corporatocracies interference in governing affairs. There are more than two parties in our political arena. They should all be represented on every ballot where these parties exist.

Comparing Ron Paul to Ralph Nader is like comparing apples and cowpies. Especially after Paul's endorsement of Chuck "American Ahmadinejad" Baldwin. No comparison.

I do believe Ron Paul will suck 5 points worth of republican voters and maybe 2 or 3 points of Independents away from McCain potential voters.
