<p>Come on McCain...You got beat by Ron Paul? (Source: MSNBC)</p>
<p>Nevada is Ronpaulland</p>
<p>I was sooo happy...HE GOT SECOND!</p>
<p>WOOOHOO!</p>
<p>That's good news. I'm a Ron Paul supporter too, but realistically he doesn't have a real shot.</p>
<p>Yea, he does not have a shot... but i still support him and i will always love his victories.</p>
<p>i don't get what's the flaw in Ron Paul. I think he has very good and pragmatic and logical positions on many issues. but I kinda support McCain because I just feel that he deserves it after such a long wait, and he started out as an underdog this time anyway :)</p>
<p>I hope either mccain or romney win nomination and overall win the election. Ron paul is a pretty crazy dude.</p>
<p>McCain is SOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSO O L D. He'd be older than Reagan was if elected. Too old. Ron Paul is a crazy guy though</p>
<p>Ron Paul is old too, duh.</p>
<p>I want anyone but Romney to get the nomination. I hate Nevada for what they did. What was that? Bucket of yuck.</p>
<p>Romney is by far the most capable of the Republican candidates. His track record in executive positions speaks for itself.</p>
<p>romney may have a track record in executive positions, but when you change your mind on every topic that doesnt really help anyone out. the only ones i would like to see of the repubs are mccain and paul--and i dont think either will get the nomination</p>
<p>I'd prefer someone who changed his mind on topics and actually had success than someone who was stubborn and failed miserably.</p>
<p>Ron Paul... umm... "we should get out of foreign policy"... are we back in the stone ages? Sorry, but I live in a world where foreign policy is becoming increasingly important, and where countries should work together/collaborate more instead of becoming isolationist (the U.S. did that before, and it never worked out). Hence, I think Ron Paul is crazy. Sorry</p>
<p>Ron Paul believes that we should work with the world, especially economically. It is the policing of the world from which we should refrain.</p>
<p>I hate when people blast McCain for being old.</p>
<p>What's age got to do with it? As long as he's in good health, there's no problem, methinks.</p>
<p>Not only is Ron Paul pretty darn old, too...he's mad as a hatter:
"The reason behind Iraqi extermists' animosity towards the Western world is because WE INVADED THEIR COUNTRY"...then he starts ranting about how if someone invaded us we'd become jihadists or something like that.</p>
<p>Well it's true..If someone invaded america and took over everything...I would be *<strong><em>ing *</em></strong>ed off as hell...</p>
<p>

</p>
<p>Name one candidate who hasn't changed their positions. Atleast Romney doesn't make b/s excuses like the hypocrites McCain and Huckabee have. McCain is by far the least trustworthy and biggest flip-flopper on the Republican side.</p>
<p>McCain cannot be trusted as leader of our nation, especially on the issue of immigration.</p>
<p>I'm no commie, but I think Paul takes the whole "invisible hand" is the most efficient allocator argument, a wee bit too far.</p>
<p>Why does he take it too far? I completely agree with complete laissez faire economics.</p>
<p>My mother is his age and we don't let her hold the remote to the tv. He'd have his finger 'ON THE BUTTON'.</p>
<p>Age is a factor, and the fact is, McCain is not 100% healthy. He's been eligible for AARP for 21 YEARS now.</p>
<p>Ron Paul is extremist. No, really, he's on the far, far right of the political spectrum -- past conservative, to "reactionary." That's why he doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell. He's too lopsided; any candidate needs to appeal to the moderate voter to get elected. Notice that Clinton, despite her obvious liberal inclination, has been making large efforts to appeal to moderates; and she's been kickin' *** in the polls (not to mention the primaries thus far). Given his extremity, he would never be elected even if he got past the primaries (which, so far, it's pretty clear that Romney has the most delegates).</p>
<p>How any of his policies are "logical," I don't know. He supports the elimination of the IRS and most taxes, yet he still wants to keep certain governmental programs. So, how's he gonna pay for it? Excise taxes and/or uniform, non-protectionist tariffs? Yeah, 'cause that'll cover the bill, right? Deficit anyone?</p>
<p>He wants to eliminate most of the agencies that keep the government running. In effect, he wants to reduce the federal government's powers to very little. That is why he's reactionary. Not to mention he supports going in part back to the gold/silver standard. (Anyone who's taken USH knows how long that issue went on. We were all glad when gold/silver were DEAD.)</p>
<p>Despite being in-tune with traditional conservative Republican values, he seems like a coward in his insistent deferral of social issues to the states -- death penalty, education, marriage (which shouldn't be any governmental issue, but a religious one), drug regulation, abortion, etc. He pussyfoots around the issues, while other candidates make firm standings on them.</p>
<p>He wants to get out of the UN, NAFTA, WTO, NATO, etc. </p>
<p>Face it. He's a nut.</p>
<p>By the way, he's a year older than McCain (Paul is 72).</p>
