Demon PBS gives Ron Paul about 10-15 minutes to state his case - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

Ron Paul appeared on the Leher Newshour on Friday for an extended interview, something they are doing with all the candidates. Damn, I'm liking this guy. Not only the substance of his remarks but his delivery as well. He comes across way more honest and real than most all of the pres. candidates of the last 8 years.

There's a link for audio, maybe they'll get a video up later.

Thank you for your support.

I hope he wins.

My main concern with a Repo pres. is one or two or three more "W" style Supreme Ct. nominees. Hopefully Paul will offer up a better caliber of justice, in more ways than one.

He is only a Rep to get a chance. He is a Libertarian.

I do as well. I have had a Ron Paul bumper sticker on my car for months!

I'm voting for him in the primary.

I just voted absentee in our state-wide elections (I'll be out of town on election day). I voted straight party lines where possible: Libertarian or if Libertarian wasn't running for a particular office, I voted for whichever candidate I had never heard of. Was my vote wasted? I don't think it was as badly wasted as it would, had I voted for either major party.

Put an end to the madness: Vote 3rd party.

Put in rank-choice/instant runoff voting first.

TheDon · #12 10-13-2007, 06:39 PM

Forget the hype.. who cares if a half black guy is running.. or a chick... or a mexican american ... forget it...all ofyou damn sheople.... think..(people are like sheep. hence sheople..)

The last time I voted for an independant or third party was anderson because I was a bit weary of Jimmy Carter. .. so we got Reagan and in a couple of years my business was about 25% of what it was under Carter.

So that is the last time I will ever vote for anybody who has no chance to win. Under Democratic presidents my business has always been strong....after a year or so.

Locally I will vote for either party or independants. And I voted for Richard Lugar for senator.....he is a statesman.
