Hes very smart and seems like he could fully embarrass anyone he debates..

Bush 43 only got it because his father gave him instant recognizability.
Meaning it will Romney or Huckabee.

Don’t get me wrong…I don’t dislike many of his ideas because I think we’ve overextended ourselves in many areas. But, we as a nation did that to ourselves being the most economically sound nation around the world with the strongest military.
Ron Paul thinks if we bury our heads in the sand…all our enemies will leave us alone. Don’t bet on that!
Iran has made it clear that any friend of Israel is an enemy of Iran. They’ve also made it clear that our US Navy fleet is a “target” of which they will attack if opportunity avails itself.
Terrorists have shown us very clearly how easy it is to attack our nation.
Ron Pauls ideas of minding our own business isn’t going to make the global problems that affect this nation go away!

What is the GOP’s plan to take back the White House in 2012? Besides opposing Obama, a failed strategy?
Many people here seem to be acting as if it will be a piece of cake, taking back the White House in 2012, all they have to do is not be Obama. Which is a silly way to think. Go back in recent history, and see the power of the incumbency. Jimmy Carter, an incumbent, who many here say is the worst president ever, was in a neck and neck race with Ronald Reagan, and likely would have been re-elected, if not for a poor debate performance the last few days before the election. George W. Bush, who many say is the worst president ever, was an incumbent, and got re-elected, despite a so-so economy, horrible news daily from Iraq at that time. So what will the GOP’s plan be, saying they are not Obama is clearly not enough, saying they’ll go back to the GOP platform, which they abandoned under Bush, will likely be laughed at as another lie. Remember, its the people who don’t follow politics all that closely that will decide the next election, things like Acorn, and Czars don’t matter to them, economic issues do, however. To me, at the moment, Obama looks like a near lock for re-election. The only thing that could trip him up is a dismal economy in 3 plus years.
you’re more than welcome to put Palin up against Obama…i’ll take those odds every moment of every day
but “Well Duh!”, that strategy may work for you, but it won’t work for the people you need to vote Obama out, so enjoy living in ignorance, and have another 4 Obama years, thinking that way

Be afraid! Be very afraid Here she comes, Sarah Palin!

if the economy and Afghanistan stays the same, it’s hard to say…
if it gets worse, could be a good thing for Republicans…

Most people in this country are concerned about the economy and it doesn’t seem to look like Obama is doing very good in that area. Most think his $ 787 billion dollar stimulus is failing and that it is going to be their children that will have to pay back this very large amount of money. Millions of people have lost their jobs and until they go back to work then they are not going to see Obama as someone who can do a good job on the economy. He is having trouble with Afghanistan, ACORN, Czars and does not have to many things going his way at all. He will have to do much better in all areas if he wants to get re-elected. Along with all that there is a growing number of people who are disgusted with the government in general and will want to get rid of the people who are not listening to the people and pushing agendas like health care against the will of the people instead of trying to fix the economy.

How is a Muslim like…?
Obama, so ignorant of Muslim customs, as Ann Coulter and Hannity have debated.

My favorite part is Coulter telling us exactly what Muslim culture is about, “They respect the big man..they all think of themselves as inferior…” So should we, as Coulter suggests, show our dominance over the Muslims by releasing the photos? If, so would you rather smack them on the nose with a news paper or maybe mount and dry hump them to show that we are top dog?
As a side question: Does Coulter’s obvious understanding of the inter-workings of the muslim culture confirm what we have all long suspected, that Coulter is in fact, herself a Muslim, born in Sweden?
Rankine,
I feel sorry for you. Either you can’t read more than five words in a row or you don’t pick up on rather heavy sarcasm. Actually I would liken it more to farce, definitely not even close to a light footed Swift-ien satire.

Paul Ryan is backed by the chinese communist regime, they hand picked this guy to run for president, the chinese rigs every election.
Not if Mama Grizzly from Alaska has anything to say about it!
Heavyweight? By reading RNC talking points? Giving no evidence of independent thought?
No.
He certainly puts forth well informed and detailed arguments and that is considerably more than merely spouting off “hope and change”.
I was not impressed.
I’ve been impressed with him for a couple years now. He’s one of the smartest people in politics. I know that’s a low bar, but he actually is very bright. I’ve seen him give interviews on MSNBC. Even with an audience that hostile he can get a clear message across, win the debate and draw out grudging agreement. I’ve been telling any who are interested in politics to start paying attention to Paul Ryan.
Nope he is centrist @ss kissing scum.
Yes But to soon to tell.
I say Ron Paul/Paul Ryan 2012
