    Who would you rather vote for? (perhaps you like another potential candidate, but if you could only choose between these two)

    There obviously is not even close to any frontrunner for the Republican nomination at this time, but as I see it, the two most likely of the least likely candidates are Mitt Romney and Ron Paul. Conservative voters do not particularly like any of them, and whoever gets nominated will have trouble uniting the Republican party, but someone has to get the nomination.

    I do not believe Mitt Romney to be a conservitive. Neither does Goldman Sachs. That is why they are the top funders of both Mitt's campaign and Obamas'.

    why would a global bank support both a republican a democrat at the same time? Moreover give the largest donation for both........

    Perhaps because they really do not want Ron Paul to win. Financial institutions are worried that he really would try to get rid of the Federal Reserve Bank.

    Of course, internet polls are not necessarily indicative of the opinions of voters outside the internet.

    All candidates are exactly the same, they all submit and obey an elite that is ruling the USA since 1913 via capitalism (FED,banks,oil), media, movies and so on.
    They only let you think they are different, to cause politics (politics is the shield between the people and the elite)
    People are so deep into politics and this whole system that they have lost that they are part of history, that is history caused by rulers, imperialists, they have many names, but always one goal, empire and want absolute control over the masses, they are after global empire in this time.
    If Robin Hood was alive today, he knew immidiatly who the problem was of this system, the elite and their politicians. There is nothing different since thousands of years, except that there is (a shield called) politics and mass propaganda (deception) via an electronic box that called television (or a monitor and internet as well, Youtube/MSM news sites)

    Ron Paul's election would presage the isolationism which might just contain most of the insanity within the asylum.

    I plan on voting for Obama but because of Paul's foreign policy, stance on the war on drugs, and some of his immigration stances I would vote for him over Obama if he were to win the ticket.

    It's a shame. I was hoping to find out how Ron Paul is a real conservative. But no reply. *sigh*

    Paul Ryan, but he won't run this time around. Certainly not Ron Paul. The man is a hypocrite, liar and nutcase.

    Most likely Romney or Santorum.

    LOL...Calls Ron Paul a Hypocrite, liar and a nutcase and then plans to vote for Romney or Santorum. Do you read what you type or do you it to simply humor everyone and yourself?

    Granted, Romney and Santorum are liars and hypocrites. But Ron Paul brings the bat sh*t crazy factor to the mix.

    Santorum is far more bat sh*t crazy than Ron Paul will ever be. I would say Ron is the most reasonable voice on the right side of the spectrum now.

    Ron Paul is a non-interventionist, not an isolationist. You have been deceived by right-wing propaganda.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-interventionism
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolationism

    You would do well to educate yourself on the differences between the two before embarassing yourself like that.

    Why is it that everyone has to have either a liberal or a conservative. Sometimes a moderate (like Romney) ends up being the best choice because on any given issue he could lean one way or the other. Absolute hard-line in either direction isn't a great idea. Yes, in war time we want a Patton, but in peace time we want Dr. King. We are "in-between" times (sort of), and Romney has the proven ability to turn a buck. he also isn't hot-headd or as egotistical as Obama. he does come off as the logical choice and the GOP would in whole want him if it weren't for the Morman thing, which is sad, because they are good people...they may not have the same beliefs as you, but then neither does a die-hard Southern-Baptist who thinks dancing is a sin.

    9%---->20% in South Carolina placing him at 3rd.

    To blame it on his Religion is laughable & repulsive because you yourself ignore his Philosophy of today and the past. How are people suppose to stand behind someone who supports Crony Capitalism, Authoritarianism and his pandering behavior?
