He's consistent. But winning the debates doesn't mean that much when you consider John Kerry trashed Bush every time, and you know what happened.
But now with Bush all but out of the picture, Paul might have a chance. Unless the party's pick ISN'T Ron Paul, and if Paul should win the nomination you'll probably see another "swift boat" fiasco again.

His big problem is that he would take away all the entitlements that people have gained over the years. And he is very plain about it. He doesn't just say it...he means it.
Don't count on it. A president can't take away what Congress gives. If he wins, Paul would be more of a moderate than a radical, although what he espouses isn't all that radical. It only SEEMS like it. If ANY president strays too far from his party's wishes, they'll turn on him like the dogs they are.

I'm not so sure America is ready for an honest politician in the White House.
I must agree.

I'd like to see Paul as the GOP candidate and Biden as the Democrat, That would really be interesting.
