Ron Paul is Still Throwing Elbows

Libertarian, internet sensation, and Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul takes on Rudy Giuliani, explains why he's the only real Republican in the race, and comments on the importance of the internet for candidates like him who "can't raise $100 million."

I think the campaign needs characters like Paul and Mike Gravel. There will be months and months of dissection of the frontrunners and eventual nominees (some might argue there already has been). If we didn't have other people to focus on in these early months, we'd all be so burned out by the primaries that we wouldn't have any energy or attention span left for the general election. Besides, Paul is a smart, likable guy who I only disagree with 60 or 70 percent of the time. Better than most in his party!






Comments

I saw Paul on Real Time with Bill Maher, and he seems to be the only Republican candidate with some common sense and the stones to say what he actually thinks. In other words, he doesn't stand a chance in the political arena.

And for those of you who think Paul, Gravel, Kucinich, and the other "also-rans" have no chance, no matter their common sense or stones or solutions for America, I say that is exactly why we will continue the downward spiral in which we find ourselves. Get on board or QUIETLY get the hell out of the way. Real Americans have work to do.

Bravo almandine! I pray Ron Paul and/or his family won't
have an "accident" or suffer the fate of the Kennedys.
