“Elections aren’t about money anymore. Elections are about ideas and you can get a lot of information to a lot of voters right now without jamming the airwaves. I believe we showed that in this state.” I really hope he is right about that, but more voters have to become willing to look beyond their [...]

“They see a chance to beat an incumbent president, one whose policies they absolutely do not like. So they don’t want to make a mistake.” Does this mean that voters in Iowa should pick the candidate who is most electable? That means they should guess which Republican would be the most appealing to people in [...]

Yes, I bet some of the “social conservatives” do wish we could have racial segregation. But a Ron Paul presidency would not make that possible, even if he got to pick some Supreme Court justices.

Although I support Ron Paul and intend to vote for him, his desire to eliminate the EPA is an example of his policy stances that I fear.

Those countries are very successful exporters that we compete with. It seems unfair and unwise that we subsidize them by assisting [...]

I’m confused. This article has no discussion of what electability is and why certain candidates allegedly have it. I hate it when people dismiss a candidate early in the election cycle by saying “he can’t win”. We’re supposed to vote according to our beliefs. We are not supposed to look at who other people support, [...]

Ron Paul doesn’t just have different things to offer people of different political beliefs. There’s at least one thing he offers that should appeal to them all: his choice of funding sources. Many voters only consider the candidates placed right in front of them by the mainstream corporate-owned media, even though those candidates made themselves [...]
