When did you begin to lean towards Paul? Link?

And he explained the quote and misinterpretation in an interview he did a few days ago. See at the 5:35 mark...

It's like they stuck Herman Cain in Ron Paul's body.

I think Ron Paul is a genuinely brilliant guy who is a little bit lacking in the brain to mouth filter sometimes.

I'd definitely vote for him over Romney, but I hope you're not about to try and argue that Ron Paul has any traits or ability to articulate like the average over-produced, highly polished politician.

Not saying that it makes him any better or worse, btw. Just that he's not the best orator out there.

I suppose he may not be a great orator. Honestly, that kind of tongue tickling of words hasn't moved me since I started discounting the rhyming reverends (Jesse and Al). Words just don't move me. Actions and principles do. Paul has decades long track record of doing what he says... no matter how jumbled up they may come out to the average debate grader or television pundit.

I can live with that.

Admittedly, I am politically retarded. Maybe its because politics seem more greasy to me than Sunnyvale Trailer Park. Anyhow, Ron Paul has made sense in every interview/debate ive seen him in. Ive only seen a few though. I need to learn more about his policies i guess. Thanks to you dudes for posting this stuff, i cant stand watching all the garbage on the "news" channels.

In Iowa, Paul closes to within one point of front-runner Gingrich

From the article:

Texas Rep. Ron Paul has surged to second place in a new Iowa poll of likely Republican caucus goers, just one percent behind former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, the current front-runner.

Paul has consistently placed in the top tier of Republican presidential candidates in recent Iowa polls. With Iowans heading to vote in only three weeks, Gingrich holds a razor-thin 22–21 lead.

The poll, conducted by Public Policy Polling, found weakening support for Gingrich among self-identified tea partiers, and a dramatic rise in Paul’s favorability rating.

Ron Paul one of only four House Republicans to request earmarks for 2011 budget (UPDATED) | The Washington Independent

U.S. Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) was one of only four House Republicans to break rank from the party and request earmarks despite a Republican Conference earmark moratorium. Paul sent 41 earmark requests totaling $157,093,544 for the 2011 Fiscal Year. His largest single request was $19,500,000 for a naval training ship at the Texas Maritime Academy in Galveston, followed by a $18,126,000 to provide maintenance on the Matagorda Ship Channel.

gee RP, you are such a good guy, way to request pork and then vote against it.

Of the five U.S. House members who brought home more total earmarked money than Paul, three were defeated in the November elections — Democratic U.S. Reps. Chet Edwards, Solomon Ortiz and Ciro Rodriguez

Said it before and I will say it again:

Every dollar spent should be earmarked by congress. This idea of writing a check to a dept and letting the administration or a bureaucrat decide how to spend it or where to spend it is just plain wrong. It is an abdication of the duty of congress. Our representatives are supposed to spend our money in a way that we want, not just allocate a chunk of money and pass the buck and the responsibility to spending it on to someone else.

quick read shows some are legit and others are just the same as any other politician trying to spend our money. His ideas may be different but his actions are eerily similar to the rest

Newt said in the debate the other night that the US had sent aid money to the Palestinians to make textbooks that demonize America.

Ron Paul supports bringing money to Texas, yet the rest of the candidates support sending money to the PLO... but Ron Paul is the one who is the nutcase.

why does what Newt says have anything to do with RP? Just seems when it comes to crunch time RP has his hand out just like the rest (and no, I don't buy his explanation)
