    No what it shows is to many people like yourself listen to the Media and dont think for themselves. Paul never said he blamed America. He blames our Foreign Policy.

    Huge Difference.

    We have been through this time and time again. Try to keep up.

    Please keep trying to win people over like this. You will help Paul keep a firm grasp on the basement - and thus when he drops out he will put you Paul supporters out of your misery

    Ron Paul will be Mitt Romney's vice president. That's the ONLY way Romney can defeat PrezBO.

    What happened to,,,,,,,,,"Ron Paul has PRINCIPLES and does not make deals with bad people?"

    It has been obvious for all of this campaign the Paul and Romney are in bed together.

    No, he won't. MAYBE Rand Paul, but not Ron. And I'd even lay money down that Rand will not be the VP choice.

    Well, the record IS:

    Member of 12 Congresses.
    Sponsored a bill to impose TERM LIMITS on all Congressmen in each of the 12 Congresses. Never passed.
    Sponsored a bill to do an in depth, complete audit of the Federal Reserve system in each of his 12 Congresses. Never passed
    All in, he sponsored over 700 bills in his 12 Congresses. 1 passed. A little bit of pork for his home district.

    Most of the bills he sponsored, I consider EXCELLENT. That none have ever passed into LAW, I consider unforgivable.

    Others will form their own opinion.

    Paul has been in Congress for nearly 30 years. It is inevitable that some things he says will be misinterpreted. Did he or did he not say 9-11 was our own fault? It doesn't matter. He didn't specifically say that but his words could be taken to mean that. But it doesn't matter. No body has ever been in politics for 3 decades and NOT said some faux paux. Most aren't in politics for 3 hours without tripping over their lips.
    Paul has SAID a great deal more right than he has said wrong.

    But I respect accomplishment, not endless talk.

    So you agree with his views and the legislation he attempted to enact, but yet you blame him for over five hundred other congressmen not voting in favor of his bills? I'm sorry, but i don't understand how that is a reflection of Paul's lack of leadership. It sounds to me like the fault lies with the other five hundred and thirty four members of congress, not Paul.

    That is an excuse. Not getting the job DONE IS a lack of leadership. We have that in the White House now. Don't need another non-leader.
    Paul would be a great behind the scenes idea man for a true leader.

    My background is a start up businessman. A businessman either gets the job done against whatever the odds are,,,,,,or goes out of business. Trying and failing, is just trying and failing. If one learns from trying and failing and then succeeds, fine. Paul has had 30 years to learn how to bring other Congresspeople around to his way of thinking. 30 years is much too long to wait. He did not succeed.

    Our national debt is now $15.400 trillion. $14,780 trillion of that has happened since Paul entered Congress. He is as guilty as the rest.

    No. Your line of thinking is flawed. You have already stated in the past that you have never had to deal with a Board of Directors (which is essentially what Congress is) so you have no idea how hard it would be to "bring other people around to your way of thinking". I already know how you are going to respond to this so I will save you the trouble. No...one should NOT have to comprise on principle just to "make a deal" to get things passed. Congress should do what's best for the PEOPLE...not their POCKETS. Leadership is NOT based upon how many bills you get passed...but the value of those bills you present or vote for.

    Wrong. Those that vote for all that spending are the guilty ones. Not those that vote against all the spending.

    You think talk means something, it does not. Without results it is hot air.

    I had to bring over 200 salespeople and many thousands of. customers around to my way of thinking. And a board of Directors is only interested in the same things a good CEO is interested in, growth and profits. As long as a CEO is producing, he/she has NO concerns with any Board. Boards don't run companies, CEO's do. And NO Board has any concerns with a producing CEO.

    Paul is a thinker, not a producer. And you may list tens of thousands of reasons for his failure to produce and you will be left with a failure to produce,,,,,,,,,NOTHING ELSE!

    I have no interest in an election decided by whether obamalamaloopas can come up with more excuses than Paulobots can. I am not now, never have been, or ever will be interested in EXCUSES.

    Nobody's making excuses, but unfortunately, the other GOP candidates have already proven they are unwilling to change their fiscal policy. Judging from their records and rhetoric, they would spend just as much as Obama would, just in different areas. If you are honestly concerned about the national debt, you would vote for the only candidate who makes a point to bring up the national debt every time he makes a speech or opens his mouth. The records of the other candidates simply speak for themselves, and besides, isn't the ultimate goal of a fiscal conservative NOT to pass legislation? I mean, it's certainly better than passing frivelous legislation, contributing vastly to the skyrocketing national debt you seem so concerned about. Plus, as commander-in-chief, he would be in a much higher position of power. He would be CEO. He would be in charge, and as commander-in-chief, he could veto any and all bills which conflict with the Constitution, control our foreign policy, and be in a much stronger position to negotiate with members of congress.

    Your statement and your opinion are simply wrong. Paul has no record of ever in 30 years cutting one cent of spending. NOT A PENNY!

    Meanwhile both Gingrich and Romney have FACTUAL positive fiscal results. Romney HAS turned a deficit into a surplus. Gingrich WAS instrumental in balancing the budget. Paul has no such accomplishment in his record which is even longer than theirs.

    Believing misinformation or lying about the other candidates makes Paul supporters look more uninformed than they already are.

    Paul promises to cut spending but NEVER has. The other 2 also promise to cut spending and HAVE!

    So everyone is wrong and only Paul is right. Maybe he should be seeing a psychiatrist.

    If Congress doesn't vote for things that would benefit this country...then yes...they are wrong.

    So is Ron Paul out of the single digit in any of the polls?

    In the real world of progress, you either have progress, [success] or you have excuses. VALID reasons and explanations for failure, are excuses. That IS the real world.

    In MI, Ron Paul is where I expected him to be

    Bringing up the rear of the pack

    It seems like the voters keep asking "Ron Who?"
