Ron Paul..Whats the Story??
I keep hearing how the US media is ignoring this guy as a legit '08 presidential candidate,yet he supposedly is winning the Rep. debates going away according to polls.
From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Paul
"He has never voted to raise taxes or congressional pay, and refuses to participate in the congressional pension system.[3] He has consistently voted against the USA PATRIOT Act, the Military Commissions Act of 2006, and the Iraq War."
Being in Thailand Im not privy to too much US news here,but from what I've read he seems like he's being supressed by the press...one can only wonder why.
Any thoughts on this guy....and if he is as good as he sounds...spread the word.

He ran for President on the Libertarian ticket back in 1988, getting about half-a-percent of the vote. I voted for him, probably pretty stupid in hindsight.

He's entertaining, but he doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell at getting the GOP nomination, or even a nod for VP, for that matter. Not a chance.

Which is sad because I think he's the best candidate on both sides.

This guy is a true constitutionalist... founding father material if you will. He is the people's favorite, but is censured and black-listed by the mainstream media because he is a true threat to the globalist dictator elitists... who own everything including the media. Also he questions the "official version of 911" hmmmm......
any coments?
