The only trustworthy man in Washington:

What do you think about him? I think he offers great solutions, he's been consistent for a long amount of time, he's experienced in both sectors, and he's for truly smaller government and state's rights, unlike Obama or the rest of the GOP hypocrites.

He has not got a chance. The American voting public loves government programs and handouts.

He's only ten percent behind Romney, according to the monthly polls.

If you haven't found something worth fighting for, you aren't fit to be living, according to Dr. King. I think it's a worthy cause to stand behind Paul despite the odds.

Ron has a shot, albeit slim, but it isn't just about winning or losing. Ron's message has dominated the GOP the last few years and the party is moving closer to us. You actually have people talking about the FED now. The cause is worth fighting for and we will be victorious eventually, the movement will not end with Ron Paul.

Student loans are the reason college is so unaffordable now. Student loan debt now tops 1 trillion dollars and you can NEVER shed that debt and cruelest thing about is that those degrees are becoming worth less and less. 'Not to mention the actual quality of education has plummet along withe the skyrocketing costs. You're going to need a degree to flip burgers soon, hope you enjoy paying the student loan debt off with minimum wage. What a blessing it is to send our kids to college, NOT!

Mr King was a hypocrite and he cheated on his wife. I tend to discount what the late Mr. King said.

I have a Dream, indeed!

Speaking of hypocrites: Ron Paul, Mr. Free Sex and Free Drugs, is courting the Religious Conservatives

Considering the fact Rush Limbaugh thinks he is a lunatic, I don't think he is going to be the nominee.

Considering that, Ron must be good.

Newt Gingrich = Barack Obama. Deal with it.

Polls prove nothing. Belief proves nothing. Arbitrary comparisons prove nothing.

I am not voting for Ron Paul. Whether or not that proves anything remains to be seen.

Who honestly cares what Rush Limbaugh thinks? I'm still voting for Ron Paul, even if I have to write his name on the ballot.

I don't think he wants to just cut out all social programs but wants a transition plan to phase out some of them including Federal student loan programs.

In general though I see Paul and shifting more power back to the states. So if local people believe in government social programs let their state government handle it. Also let's see if the program succeeds or fails at the state level rather then drag the whole nation into it.

With the way things are, I don't think things are going to be rosy no matter who gets into office. But I'm for Ron Paul because I feel like we live in a time where the government has largely forgotten about it's citizens. At least with Paul we have a chance to keep some decency and possibly gain some liberties.

I would love to see marijuana legalized. I don't participate in smoking it so much anymore, but people are hurting, let them live a little in other ways besides alcohol. I bet alcohol consumption would diminish greatly if pot was legal. I think even cops would be less dickish if they had the chance to smoke up instead of drinking. I don't like the idea of getting pulled over by a cop that has a hang-over. I'd like to be pulled over by a cop that is chill.

I highly doubt Paul will cut out programs to Americans that depend on them in a way that millions of people will be homeless and starving overnight, that's absurd. Also, all the departments he said he want's to get rid of, I'm betting that a lot of them will just switch their name from federal to state. Federal employees like Ron Paul, as they donate a lot to his cause.

So do a lot of the military, which Paul has garnered over twice as much funding then all the other candidates combined. I'm for pulling out of different parts of the world, let some other country do the policing for awhile. We're hurting too much financially and liberty wise to continue.

Forgot to watch the debate tonight, but I'm listening to the wrap up and I haven't heard Ron's name dropped yet. Surprising!

My vote is for Paul, whether a Republican or Independent.

EDIT: Even the other candidates endorse Paul!
