I don't know if those comments stem from hate... I figure it's just a realistic appraisal of his chances, given his 'radical' platform.

Yes, it's so "radical" for a Republican to be a true conservative and not a neo-con. It's incredibly radical for someone to want to constitution to be upheld rather than whiping their ass with it and our liberties.
People have forgotten, but Conservative means limited government involved in your day to day life, rather than the bullshit Neo-Cons we have today where it seems like they can't be involved enough. States' rights over a big Federal Government

For everyone who is of the opinion 'he has no chance':
Would you vote for him if he did?

Notice the sarcastic quotes in my post. He is radical in that he isn't compromising his platform in order to appeal to as many people as possible. Abolish the drug war? Think of the children!

I have to agree.
Most of the voters have strong religious background, and the last thing they want is for our dangerous drugs to get into the hands of their kids.
They don't even consider the possibility of restricting drugs for reponsible adults.
They immediately equate recreational drugs with kids abusing them.
Hence, anyone who poses a threat to that burnt-in way of thinking won't be considered for election.

Ron needs to give his campaign a boost, and make more television appearances, ads, etc.
Can't rely on the Internet alone for votes.

i'm sure he is doing all he can to get as much exposure as possible.
the internet is really his biggest outlet.

Just wait. He is crazy like fox! After Huckabee drops out, the media will be forced to pay attention to RP. Don't forget, after Super Tuesday, we still have over half of the states to go! RP is in it until the convention, like it or not, Faux News! God damn Rupert Murdoch.
RP IS IN IT TO WIN IT.
The true underdog (in politics: BLACKHORSE) will win. Not this new General guy. He was out before he was in. RP does have a chance.

Even if he doesn't win, its great that he will probably be left with McCain and Romney, and forced to be given media coverage because at least we are slowly getting the ideas of real change into America. I think America is so far off base right now that we have to ease our way into change/making any sense. At least he is opening some minds up and laying down some great points.

For those asking who is Ron Paul, please look at http://www.ronpaul2008.com
He is an amazing candidate with strong constitutionalist ideals! Really, he is hope for America.
And he never denounced the OVERALL war on drugs, just the federal war on drugs. States and local governments would be free to regulate as they saw fit. This would, however, be a MAJOR step in ending the drug war.

California has legalized MJ for medical use.
If they lift the federal ban, then California would legalize MJ completely.

Exactly, the people who are scared about their kids being surrounded by drugs if Ron Paul wins are ignorant. The president doesn't control the state's laws, YOU DO by electing represntatives and voting when propositions arrise.

Yes, and other states would surely follow. As they should.

he never had a chance anyways. seriously, it's time to wake up people.
ron paul supporters are sort delusional if you ask me. first of all, to think he's going to actually win the republican nomination and second, even if he did by some freakish miracle win the presidency, it's not like he gets to wave a ron paul magic wand and completely change the entire government's structure to his libertarian fantasy land. there's this group of people called congress who he has to persuade, and most of them are liberal at the moment, so that would be pretty unlikely. i mean, if bush can't even get his tax cuts made permanent then the idea that ron paul is going to be able to get any of his ideas embraced by congress is one of the most hopeless and far fetched fantasies you could possibly imagine in the US's current political landscape.
i'm glad he's quiting, because now we can concentrate on candidates who actually come from the same planet as us. ron paul is finished, hurray!!

i'll do the only bubble bursting here.
he's finished 
i mean, do you seriously think he still has a chance of getting the nomination? he hasn't won a single primary yet. that's great you want to support him to the bitter end and be optimistic and everything, but don't be delusional about his chances. you insult your own intelligence.
