I didn't watch the video, but I heard he announced today that he formed a committee to run in 2012.
Hopefully for our sake he fucking wins and gets rid of that cunt Obama.

Really? So he officially announced he's running? I heard him speak a few months ago and honestly I couldn't agree more with everything he says.
-------------------- Did he dream about dragons? Did he dream about deer? Did he whisper he names of friends who were near? What songs did they play, and how far away? Why did he whisper, why did she scream? What does the sound of a screen door mean? Who talks on the hill? Who goes to the cellar, can you feel the chill? Where does the river, when will the wind? How far are the mountains? Where do they end? Why would the church? Did the service begin? Tell me who died, and tell me who cried. Help me hide in the skin of a deer, my zippered-up bag in the mouth of a stag so swiftly I go through rows of does, it flows, it flows, it flows, it flows all over the hill where the green grass grows.

Paul is a Republican, but even so he doesn't have a chance. There's no way he'll be nominated.

Yeah he is, I thought he'd ran before as an independent though... maybe not (it was libertarian) . Looks like hes on the repub primary ticket this year. Shame.

If he's actually on the ballot, I'll actually vote.
And no, he didn't run independent, he was in the Republican primaries, but didn't get any support from his party. He was actually the most popular candidate on the internet by 100x or more, but as someone else stated, when the multimedia political extravaganza started rolling, he lost a lot of momentum.
It was funny though, I saw a graph that showed Ron Paul's internet traffic compared to his TV coverage. He had the most internet traffic by leaps and bounds, and had like 2% of the TV coverage for all the candidates.
Last election, he was the only person (Rep or Dem) that I was willing to vote for, as he's the only real American running. The rest were all clearly political puppets. Of course, most people told me that Obama was going to be a real American and bring some hope and change, but we all see how that went. Oh, it changed alright, the government just got more fascist...

Ron Paul is an anti-establishment candidate trying to get nominated by a party that's known for being huge on establishment. You do the math.

Yeah I was thinking of when he ran in 1988 as a Libertarian.

There actually is some difference in the internal operations of the two parties - for example, the GOP is more of an "old boy's club" where you have to be with them for a long time and have a long history of accomplishments (for the GOP) under your belt before you can get nominated.
Somebody like Obama, a charismatic newcomer, would never be nominated by the GOP.
Ron Paul's son Rand might have some luck a decade or two down the line, though - if only because he's reasonably photogenic and has his dad for advice.

Yeah he probably won't get the nomination. Somebody mentally retarded like Sarah Paalin will end up getting it. But I'll still hope for a miracle.
Gary Johnson would be a decent alternative for Paul, he is at least pro weed legalization. Not that it should be the top priority for a choice in president, but he seems like a decent guy.

Well there is a difference... not in how much the country gets screwed really... but there is a difference in what sort of corrupt laws you can expect out of each party

Yeah, the proposed budget difference amount to a debt of either 19 or 20 trillion dollars on either side over 8 years.
I vote for freedom.

I tend to think the only thing they can really agree upon is that they'll screw us over, and the combined weight of their political will completely eradicates opposition.
