    He's not a "Good Ole Boy" of the GOP. He's against the wars. He doesn't want to give marijuana users the chair. He doesn't want to treat homosexuals as second class citizens. He's actually for cutting back on spending.

    He's not "one of their own" so to speak.

    You're right.
    He's not one of the crony politicians that got us into this mess. He's intellectually honest about his stance on things, and he doesn't cow-tow to a bunch of power hungry lobbyists.

    It's Ron Paul or no choice, IMHO.

    Charles Krauthammer had it correct in his recent column.

    Ron Paul will not be the next President of the United States. He is a libertarian and the United States isn't libertarian.

    Ronald Reagan is the closest to a libertarian we've had recently and on a libertarian scale of 1 to 10, where Ron Paul is a 9, Reagan was probably a 4 or 5. His rhetoric may have been a 6, but not his policies.

    Goldwater was more so, but he got hammered by LBJ.

    Surprising Since Paul doesn't think the rich are dumping on the backs of the poor and middle class.

    Have you checked with gatekeeper for the logical choice?

    Baseball was invented as a reason to drink.

    Soccer was invented as a reason to riot.

    Of course the riots didn't pick up here like they did in Europe so we invented the NBA, NHL, and Ohio State to pick up the slack.

    soccer actually evolved from post execution celebrations in england... ok i guess you could call it a riot.

    they used to kick around the decapitated heads of just executed criminals and eventually made rules and stopped using heads.

    Re: Jon Stewart Scolds Media for Ignoring Ron Paul – Aug 15 2011

    Huffington Post article about the same thing

    A snippet:

    And yet, and yet... the extraordinary lack of coverage of Ron Paul following his statistical tie for first place in Iowa is a remarkable story in itself -- worthy of the best efforts of serious investigative journalists.

    Here are a couple of headlines that I saw today, a couple of days after the Iowa Straw Poll, which are very typical of the type of coverage the event has generated.

    Pawlenty exits GOP race; leaves Romney, Perry, Bachmann to duke it out (CS Monitor)

    Bachmann, Perry Shake Up GOP Field (FOX)

    Dr. Paul, who everyone knows represents something new and culturally challenging -- two criteria for newsworthiness -- is conspicuous by his absence.

    As another example, in the story, "The post-Ames, post-Pawlenty GOP field", from CNN, the only reference in the whole article to the man who gained almost as many votes as Bachmann, was the line,

    "Pawlenty finished a distant third in the poll, behind Bachmann and Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who finished within one percentage point of each other."

    The remarkably strong and suggestive showing of Dr. Paul does not, apparently, warrant even the use of his name as the subject of a sentence in an article that purports to describe the post-Pawlenty field. And this is despite the fact that he near-as-damn-it tied with a woman who couldn't put any clear water between her and him even though the poll was held in her home-state.

    The dereliction of service by the media is truly remarkable. I don't know how or why it has come about but it demands investigation -- as an extraordinary incident of either massive group-think or institutional corruption.

    It is hard to believe that journalists are being instructed from their corporate overlords to misrepresent a hugely important political event and trend, but it is also hard to credit the idea that an entire profession of thousands of free-thinking individuals have decided to ignore the elephant (read libertarian doctor), in the room -- especially when it is obvious to anyone with an internet connection or the ability to read that Dr Paul's success in Iowa is not just a story -- but is really the only story here.
    Great stuff.
    at this point in the process, I can only assume it was a typo and they meant to say "cram"...
