I agree that Ron Paul is scary. Not just scary but an absolute nut. His vision of America is as unrealistic as what the communist dream was. He also is an isolationist who seems to think that if you just ignore the rest of the world it will go away.

He will have a small rabid base of support as all nuts do but he will never get far (thank heavens).

Now I can't wait for his supporters on here to show up and try to convince us how enlightened and wonderful he is and how he has a legitimate chance.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Ron Paul is too radical. I also don't like how he tries to make his own party look bad and he look like the good guy.

I will mention 2 examples. They are related. He has some of the correct diagnosis for the problem He sees the Fed needs an audit. He says down turn s are caused by bad monetary policy.

He is half blind in his diagnostics.

His econ medicine is 100 years old and expired. Going to a physical currency exchange of gold is soo 1800's. He favors the Austrian School which has neither ever been proven or tested in any country. Ron Paul doesn't know economics. Many politicians don't. Many don't claim to. Movie critics can't produce movies. Ron Paul as an economy critic can't write econ policy. 40% of Obama's econ melt down came for the trickle of truth from his econ sock puppets he discarded and over ruled.
I hate to admit this. 90% of the doctors do not know how to run a business. Many have learned how to manage the business side of their practice. Many of those have hired a good business manager. If you have a fracture you go to an orthropod. If it is bladder, urologist. If the country is in business damage, find a business man that will bring tools to fix it.
Obama is the worst business man.
Ron Pauls draw is non conformity. Not all bad but show no solutions.

Re: Ron Paul Is In.

I have to admit in 2008 I was interested in RP whatsoever. I thought he was kind of nutty. After 2.5 years of Obama I am a firm believer that you cannot judge a president by his telegenics or lack thereof. Paul isn't a TV superstar, but he would've been a way better president than BO. And he would've run a better campaign than McCain.

At this point I'd vote for Ru Paul!

Joe Biden would have done less damage than Obama,
Paul, like McCain lacks charisma.
