Notice how those two voted that U.S. troops should still have be shot at first before they can defend themselves.

Dedspicable.

I'm not a Ron Paul fan, I agree with him 100% on economic factors, Taxes, the fed foreign involvement etc etc.

The legalization of ALL drugs and his stance on the military and that thing over OBL shouldn't have been shot etc don't get him my vote.

Of course if he is the front runner and chosen as the GOP man against Obamao I suppose I'll hold my nose and pull the lever.

As will we all.

He's better than McCain and we all voted for that bastard.

I think that if Paul were elected that the moment he first sat in the chair and everything was dumped in his lap he would change his tone on foreign policy to an extent...

No, "we" didn't!  ;)

I respect McCain for his service to our country while in uniform, but I knew he was a lost cause. When he pulled that stupid stunt of trying to suspend the campaign to vote on TARP, I knew it was over and I refused to waste my vote on him. I figured that if I was going to end up voting for a loser, it should be one who I believed in and who has fought the "good fight".

McCain's campaign was beyond inept! The only reason he didn't lose in a landslide was the fact that someone in his inner circle had the intelligence to pick Sarah Palin as his running mate!

I didn't know this... who in their right mind would vote for our soliders to basically have to go into battle with their hands tied behind their back..... I never cared for Ron Paul, but this has ruined my opinion of Paul Ryan.

Not voting for McPalin = a vote for Obama.... IMO people that stayed home instead of voting for the only other option to Obama share in his victory.

I suspect (hope) you are correct.

I don't think he would, Bertram.

Believe me, I took no pleasure voting for McCommie.  Palin was his saving grace as far as I was concerned.  Still, 18 showers couldn't make me feel clean afterwards.

Well, let's say that Ron Paul would manage to become the nominee.

So, it follows then, that...'Not voting for Ron Paul = a vote for Obama'??

In that scenario, sir, I submit the final votes MUST include Paul's VP pick, since his age does suggest increased emphasis on line-of-succession. If anything it increases in importance for Paul, as well as everyone else to a lesser degree.
