(CNN)-Saying "the time is right" because more people agree with his positions, Rep. Ron Paul of Texas on Friday announced his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination.
The long-time lawmaker, who was first elected to the House of Representatives 35 years ago, says he's optimistic about his chances and that his "supporters are enthusiastic." http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/05/13/breaking-rep-ron-paul-announces-third-bid-for-presidency/?hpt=T2
I do not believe in our system as a whole. But if we can actually get a good guy in there I would like to see what he can do. Hes got my vote for sure.

I hate his anti-abortion stance, but otherwise he's pretty cool. I'll vote for him if Jesse Ventura runs with him.

The Body is a little nutty. I don't know about that but it would make for an awesome time watching the news during the presidency.

His stance is to empower the states. If he says if he agrees with it one way or another he looses votes. This way he can pander to everyone simultaneously.

I like Ron Paul's policies. One weakness I see with him however that his speeches and interviews indicate he has more "anti-" arguments than "pro-" arguments. Meaning, his momentum comes from his opposition, without speaking to any great length about what he intends to do specifically, aside from upholding the constitution.

How is that any different than any other politician though? They all talk about what their opponent's weaknesses are. When you criticize your opponent about an issue, it's implied that you believe the opposite. At least that's my option. I just hope he taps Jesse Ventura for his running mate. I'm there.

I don't think he is anti-abortion. Is he? What's his view on health care? That's the only one I don't know his view on.

Yeah, it's "strongly pro-life". He has some other positions that I don't agree with either, but his strengths outweigh his weaknesses IMO.

He went into it during that debate that just took place. I cant remember what he said exactly but it sounded rational and better than this Obamacare bullshit and our current health system no doubt. Try searching for the whole debate on youtube??

please people recognize ron paul.
Campaign for Liberty!
want hemp? want lax marijuana laws?
..yeah vote ron paul.
Oh and go back to the presidential debates with mccain/obama, and realize that ron paul was the only person to give a straight answer for everything the host asked. He actually knows what he's doing.
-------------------- "You can turn your back on a person, but never turn your back on a drug, especially when its waving a razor sharp hunting knife in your eye." "Bill Clinton does not inhale marijuana, right? You bet. Like I chew on LSD but I don't swallow it." "America should start a war on education, if its anywhere as successful as the war on drugs, everyone would be hooked on phonics."
