Is Ron Paul the only viable candidate for the Republicans ?

How many Republicans going to vote for Ron Paul ? Are Republicans being narrow minded for being offended by Rudy Gulianni's cross-dressing ?, and John McCain being a closet liberal ?

1. Ron Paul is probably the only republican candidate that isnt viable. McCain isnt my choice but he is viable- Paul is just a nut.
2. I don't think enough people know about Ron Paul...besides, voting for Ron Paul and you might as well vote for Clinton. McCain all the way.
3. I would definitely vote for Ron Paul but it'd depend on his running mate. I'm really leaning towards a Ron Paul/John McCain ticket. Mainly because of his extreme ideas i.e. erasing the CIA. There aren't any real Conservatives in the Republican party except for Ron Paul, John McCain and somewhat of Mitt Romney. I do support Pres. Bush, however there needs to be a change and Rudy Giuliani has similar ideologies with Pres. Bush. That's why I wouldn't vote for him.
4. I will even if he is not on the ballot...I mean Giuliani/... he is the biggest joke.
5. Ron Paul is the only viable candidate for either side. By viable I mean the people who wouldn't destroy the validity of the Constitution even more. Everyone else wants to crap all over it for their own power and greed. If Ron doesn't win, we will need a lot of help to save this country.
6. I'd vote for Ron because he's a closet libertarian & that's better than any republican or Democrat.
7. Ron Paul is the only viable candidate from either side...
8. 1. NO!! Fred Thompson in '08 2. About 2% Republicans would vote for Ron Paul. 3. N O!! 4. Y E S!!!!
9. I typically vote for republicans, and I don't even know anything about this Ron Paul, aside from his cult following on Y! Answers. It actually reeks way too much of Lyndon LaRouche's "campaigns", so said followers have just turned me off more to the possibility of ever considering Ron Paul for office.
10. Ron Paul is the only Republican who can defeat Hillary Clinton. Ron Paul is not a pacifist. He sees the terroists and their teachers as individuals and not as representatives of any nation or the religion of Islam. At the time of the September 11, 2001 attacks, Paul, defining them as an act of "air piracy", introduced the Marque and Reprisal Act of 2001, which would have granted Letters of Marque and Reprisal, as authorized by Article One, Section Eight, against the specific terrorists, instead of warring against a foreign state.[17] He has also reproposed this legislation recently under the new title of Marque and Reprisal Act of 2007. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_positions_of_Ron_Paul#Letters_of_Marque_and_Reprisal Among all candidates, Dr. Paul is now first in total donations from military personnel and veterans. Obama and McCain were second and third in donations from military and veterans. http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0geu6EwxOhGZI8ANxJXNyoA?p=%22ron+Paul%22+military+donations&fr=ush-360 http://phreadom.blogspot.com/2007/07/ron-paul-is-most-financially-military.html http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2007/Q2/ 1 Paul http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2007/Q2/C00432914/A_EMPLOYER_C00432914.html 2 Obama http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2007/Q2/C00431445/A_EMPLOYER_C00431445.html 3 McCain http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2007/Q2/C00430470/A_EMPLOYER_C00430470.html 4 Clinton http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2007/Q2/C00431569/A_EMPLOYER_C00431569.html 5 Richardson http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2007/Q2/C00431577/A_EMPLOYER_C00431577.html 6 Romney http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2007/Q2/C00431171/A_EMPLOYER_C00431171.html 7 Edwards http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2007/Q2/C00431205/A_ELECTION_C00431205.html 8 Giuliani http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2007/Q2/C00430512/A_EMPLOYER_C00430512.html Tancredo, Ron Paul, and Hunter have the most conservative voting records on immigration. http://www.betterimmigration.com/candidates/2006/prez08_gop2.html http://www.betterimmigration.com/candidates/2006/prez08_gop1.html Tancredo and Ron Paul have the best voting records for reducing government spending according to the National Taxpayers Union. They were the only candidates to score 100 percent "A" Grades from 1992 to 2005. http://www.ntu.org/main/page.php?PageID=97# Sportsbook.com rates both Paul and Romney at 8 to 1 odds which is approximately an 11 percent chance of becoming the next President. Mitt Romney's campaign only had 35 percent more cash than Ron Paul after subtracting debts on 06/30/2007. ($3,176,525 / $2,354,855 = 1.349) http://herndon1.sdrdc.com/cgi-bin/cancomsrs/?_08+P80000748 http://herndon1.sdrdc.com/cgi-bin/cancomsrs/?_08+P80003353 Paul's campaign has almost 5 times as much money to spend as Tancredo. http://herndon1.sdrdc.com/cgi-bin/cancomsrs/?_08+P80003429 Romney's contributions from individuals dropped by a third from the first quarter to the second quarter. Paul's contributions almost quadrupled from Q1 to Q2. http://projects.washingtonpost.com/2008-presidential-candidates/?nid=roll_08campaign Ron Paul received more than 10 times as much in donations in the last week of June as he received in the first week of April. http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2007/Q2/C00432914/A_DATE_C00432914.html Ron Paul's $2.4 million in fundraising after the second quarter placed him: 4th in total receipts to date 3rd in total current assets (ahead of former front-runner John McCain, and just $800,000 behind Mitt Romney) Ron Paul has more friends in MySpace and more subscribers in YouTube than any other Republican. As of September 4, Ron Paul has won 9 of 23 straw polls. http://www.ronpaul2008.com/straw-poll-results/ Thus far, 47% of the contributions made to Ron Paul's campaign are donations of under $200 from individuals (John McCain's 17% is the second-highest percentage). http://www.usaelectionpolls.com/2008/articles/ron-paul-small-donors-love-him.html This is a telling statistic, as it highlights the fact that most other candidates rely heavily upon donations from corporate interests and political action committees (PACs) (i.e. moneyed, influence-seeking sources who can readily afford to contribute large sums). Since Congressman Paul has always voted against special favors and privileges for anyone, special interests know they have nothing to gain by stuffing Ron Paul's campaign coffers. As one member of my local Meetup group put it on a home-made sign, "Ron Paul is thin because he won't let special interests buy him lunch." http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig8/sutton1.html You can learn more about him here. http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_positions_of_Ron_Paul http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=RonPaul2008dotcom
11. Ron Paul is not the only viable candidate for Republican, the way he talks is quite different than the way he votes. As for as Rudy, he is a male Hillary , the way he thinks. McCain, well he needs to ride off into the sunset and retire, he has shot himself in the foot so many times, he is totally untrust worthly. There however are a couple of other Candidates that is worth checking out. Not saying that I would vote for them but one is Tancredo from Colorado and Fred Thompson. I may change my mind before election day, but I will vote on the "right" side, period.
12. hahahahaha. There is nothing viable about Ron Paul. 1-3% of likely Republican voters may disagree with me but that ain't enough to change the facts. http://www.pollingreport.com/wh08rep.htm
13. Here is how the Republican Candidate rank on viability... or the ability to go toe-to-toe with Hillary. Guilianni's crossdressing will not be a problem for him, but his many marriages, questionable romances, and liberal positions will make conservatives uncomfortable.. Rank him barely viable. Mitt Romney's greatest problem is his Mormon religion and overall he ranks well with conservatives. The more conservatives know about him the more they like him.. Rank him viable. Fred Thompson is also viable.. a movie star with a good speaking ability... hey, he's more viable than Bush ever was... McCann,,,, no, he's just too liberal. Ron Paul,,, good conservative, but he looks and acts a bit too conservative.. he is ranked with the nut cases.. Unless he can convince America that he isn't crazy, his campaign will have an early demise. Not viable at this time.
14. If he is, the Republicans are in more trouble than was believed.
15. Is Ron Paul the same as RuPaul? I read Giuliani lived with 2 gays and a whore.... should we prepare for the new First Whore?
16. Ron Paul is definately the only viable candidate the Republicans have. He is actually for upholding the constitution and for the people. Great man!!!
