    Primaries? Ron Paul. The final election? Depends on who the nominees from each party are.

    Because I really think we need what he is offering at this time in our history. We are too involved around the world when we are falling apart back here at home. I think he would also help our economy and help stabilize the declining dollar.

    sure is quiet all of a sudden.... pretty sad as I think most people don't have a clue why they are voting the way they are. Might as well vote for ronald mcdonald.

    On the contrary, I think people find you unamusing, and just somewhat trollish.

    Threads on topics like these have been going on for months already. You show up and everyone OWES you an answer?

    Get real.

    I'm voting for Barack Obama in the NH primary Tuesday. I would like to see Ron Paul for the Republican nominee. He is the only Republican that does not scare me.

    Well if the Iowa winners go on to win the nominations I'd definitely vote for Barack Obama over Mike Huckabee.

    Currently I support Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel in the Dem primaries & Ron Paul in the Republican.

    the bad part is that without the support of congress, this is going to be hard for whoever the next president is. Even if RP won the office, nothing would happen overnight. Unless you follow shrillary, because she said the price of oil would drop immediately if she was elected.

    Yea, Congress would have its own opinion, but at this stage its one at a time; first getting him into office, then dealing with the other stuff.

    I am sorry mr. pro reporter, I didn't know you were interviewing me (I'm being sarcastic if you can't tell).

    And I do know why I am voting for him. I like Paul because he cares about rebuilding our nation back home, instead of building the rest of the world. We really need a guy like that right now to deal with our immigration and economy problems (not to mention, stop the world panic that keeps growing).

    Ron Paul will stabilize the dollar by trying to get the USD back on the gold standard. It may seem crazy at first thought, but if you think about it it is certainly true. He is also for limited government and giving no rights to illegal aliens, both which will help more Americans get jobs, which will have a positive effect on the economy.

    If it were Huckabee vs Obama I think I'd vote Obama. Yes his Muslim roots do somewhat scare me, but I don't want some uneducated idiot running our country again. There is show called this hour has 22 minutes in Canada. On it Huckabee congratulates Canada on preserving their National Igloo. HOW GULLIBLE CAN ONE BE?

    I would vote for Ron Paul. I also like Dennis Kucinich. Kucinich loves animals.:) He is the only vegan in government office that I am aware of.

    I like people that are kind to helpless animals. Usually they are kind to helpless people as well.:)
