RP gonna be running-mate imo.

Then if that ticket accidentally wins they can stage an assassination and blame it on a crazy libertarian and let Ron Paul be at the wheel when everything sinks.

Paul with Kucinich/Nader/Grayson/non-corrupt Democrat on an independent ticket.

Stop the wars, end the Fed, bring Wall Street to justice, end the drug war, and sure, spend some of the resulting gains on healthcare and welfare if that's what it takes to get elected and get all the others accomplished. Still a big net gain from the libertarian perspective and they'd be a force to be reckoned with. Compromise ftw.

Ron Paul / Denis Kucinich would be such a sick bi-partisan ticket

I'd really, really get behind that, Kucinich is probably my favorite Democrat behind Mike Gravel

edit: though I think Gravel left the Democratic party iirc

Is Gary Johnson gonna hurt him? Sure seems like it, but really who cares as neither has a chance.

I'd vote for RP vs Obama

But don't they think he's a mooslin too? He'd have to convert first.

Ron Paul is selling his house on Facebook!

He's also in NH, again. And a moneybomb is scheduled for 5/5/ Definitely running imo.

Who Is Ron Paul?

[meekrab]

I love Ron Paul, and hope his Presidential campaign gets the message of liberty out there, but other than ending all our retarded wars, he'd be a disaster of a President if he tried to stick strictly to his platform, and there's no reason to think he wouldn't. Congress can barely pass a budget as it is, does anyone really want a President who vetoes and tries to destroy EVERYTHING not specifically authorized by the Constitution?

[General Tsao]

...god yes.

[BornToPun]

Meekrab what exactly do you fear would happen if RP were president?

If there was a candidate who's entire platform was "I promise to veto every bill congress passes" I would vote for him
