Ron Paul is the only candidate that has an unwavering record of defending our Constitution and addressing the problems that our country is facing. He had the foresight to predict and warn about the consequences throughout the years and the knowledge to put us back on the right track to restore our Constitutional Republic to be yet again a great nation.The rest do not have a record to stand that mirrors what they now say - Ron Paul does. The reason the mainstream republicans have not supported Ron Paul is because Ron Paul really does put the people first, over party politics. And he has shown a 30 year track record of following the Constitution, something that none of the other candidates can say. If the people realized this they would come out in droves and vote for this man who sounds almost like a founding father.

Here's what really terrifies the RNC: Ron Paul is in a position to hand the election of 2012 over to Obama and the Democrats because he would be a "spoiler." But even more terrifying is the fact that Dr. Paul is in a position to be much more than a "spoiler" − he's in a position to be a "winner."
Ron Paul does not even need the GOP to win the general election. If he were to walk away for a third party, he would take at least 12% of the Republican vote with him. He would also take another 15% from the Independents and at least 11% from the Democrats. This would give him 38% − enough of the vote to win the Presidency in a three-man race.

A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for Peace.
A vote for any other, including Obama, is a vote for endless war, assassinations, life in detention without charge, crushing debt and enough deficit spending to enslave Americans for generations.
Do yourself a favor, do your own research on Ron Paul and don't let the MSM influence you this time around. They are scared to death that they'll lose their gravy train.

He has been talking about deficit spending for more than 5 years. He predicted 911. He predicted financial/housing bubble. Search youtube to see his speeches years before these events. He was able to predict, because he understands unlike the other politicians who laughed and scorned him. No other nation is going around the world starting wars. China is making deals all over the globe to lock up resources, not occupying sovereign nations in defense of corporate masters.

Want to hear lies and special interest propaganda? Vote for someone else. Want to hear the truth and Constitutional adherence? Vote for Rep. Paul. Don't believe the hype put out by Republican leadership that he is unelectable. His integrity scares them. He is only unelectable if YOU don't vote for him.

@AmRifleman of PA - impressive use of name-calling in the absence of intelligent argument. Thanks for your content-free analysis.

Ron Paul's chances of getting elected is like a snowballs in h***!
He's like that crazy uncle some people have in their families who lives on another planet and talks nonsense. To the immature minds of children and people who have never grown up mentally though, he's like Santa Claus, Peter Pan and the Tooth Fairy. They believe whatever they're told.
One thing though. Even a nut case like Ron Paul would be a improvement over the Socialist/Communist incompetent we now have in the WH, as the economic mess we now have because of him attests to.

Corporate media, corporate government, corporatations themselves are terrified of Ron Paul. That's why there's a concerted effort to disrupt his campaign.
RP would eliminate all the corporate tax breaks, and keep corporations from running government like they do now.
Even the corporate ruled GOP is scared, knowing Newt Gingrich will never make it and Romney's sleazy image isn't going to endear him to the voter. Cain bugged out, and the rest of the backmarker candidates aren't even worth considering.
