If I were a Democrat and could vote in the Repubs Primaries I would vote for RP myself since he has the least chance of beating the Prez.
This particular thread is not the place for debating Ron Paul's political viability.

Ron Paul at the NH debate:

As for me, I think Ron Paul is the teacher and the others are slow learners, even the media.

He has my vote. I don't know why anyone would vote for someone they can't trust. Why would someone ask someone they can't trust to protect the constitution. Ron Paul is the only consistent and trustworthy candidate out their...which is why I voted for him today.

He got mine and Faye's vote today but came in a dismal 4th. Hey at least the best Romney could do in the south was 3rd.

He may not be taking first place in the states, but there's a lot where he's been a very close second place and his supporters are making sure that he wins the delegate votes.  When they all get to the convention and the delegates are counted I think we're going to see the game change.  I don't think all the "front runners" have really been having the lead the media would like you to believe.  The problem will be that people don't understand the difference between delegates and popular vote and they'll cry that RP was unfair or some how cheating because they don't understand how the system works.  I will vote for Ron Paul if I have to etch his name in a stone ballot.

I know that most are calling "the end" for RP's campaign but I am going to make a couple more $10 donations just to help him harrass the big boys. He is the only honest one out there. ear

Ron Paul hits it out of the park on the Leno show: (listen carefully to his part about a brokered convention; Paul's strategy all along is to get his young people on as delegates of the other candidates)

No. It is within the rules. Call it smart. The first round delegates must vote for the candidate they are pledged. After that they are released. If not, no majority would ever be reached, resulting in a failed convention.

Pretty far from politics as usual.  Ron Paul is a freedom loving Libertarian who represents what used to be called a republican.  In todays current republican party guys like Romney are considered to be a conservative (which is a shame) and an actual conservative like Ron Paul has to go against everything in the establishment in order to get elected.  The guys who wrote the rules on how elections run made them a certain way so that if it became a brokered convention that a guy like Ron Paul would have a chance.  While it may not be the popular vote, it'll be the popular vote of those who are politically involved and not just sheep asleep at the wheel.  Ron Pauls message will bring people together and that's something that this country desperately needs as much as it needs to cut spending.

You can rationalize it all you want, but if RP's plan was to "rig the game", it IS politics as usual.

That's just the thing, he's not "rigging" anything.  He didn't make the republican election rules, he's being forced to play by them.  At least in my lifetime I've never seen an election where the sitting politician was such an easy person to discredit and the opposing party only had to gather itself to defeat the "other guys" in the general elections, but that's not the case this time around.  I think we're seeing a fracturing of the politcal parties.  You have those people who will vote "D" for their life because that's what they were told by friends & family so they'll defend that party to the last man woman or child.  Then you have the exact same people who will vote "R" for their life because that's what they were told by friends & family so they'll defend that party to the last man woman or child if for no other reason than "just because".  There's so many closed minded people out there that consider it a competition between parties and not an election of the best candidate.
 
Republican               Demacrat                               Ron Paul
More big spending     More big spending                    Proposed real cuts first year in!
More wars (Iran)      More wars (egypt, syria etc.)     Proposed bringing all troops home and gets the most $$ from troops.
 
I'll admit I'm biased and that Ron Paul is my guy.  My generation didn't create this mess, but if the 30 somethings of America aren't going to be the greatest generation America has ever seen then all the baby boomers who created this mess can kiss their happy golden years of government checks good bye.  I'm voting for Ron Paul no matter what.

This thread is collection point for Ron Paul info and support.  There are plenty of other threads where you can debate his legitimacy.   I know you know where they are since you've already posted in each of them.

Look, haters are gonna hate.  If you want to find a reason to dislike anyone, you will.  Congrats!
 
I support Ron Paul the man because he's honest and consistant.  I support RP's message because it's one of peace and prosperity for all people. 
 
Today he's having a money bomb and while things are tight, I will gladly donate to him because I think it's the best investment I can make for my kids futures.

Sorry to say, but I believe Ron Paul won't come even close to getting the delegates he needs to win over Romney. I would like to see him take it for sure but the odds are  against him.
