The more people who run for president the happier I'll be.
There are more than republicans and democrats although most of america doesn't realize this.
Third parties ftw.

If America liked what third parties had to say, they would pay more attention to them.
But Ron Paul shouldn't run again. When I first saw an interview with him, my first thought was "hey this guy is good" but by the end of the interview I was thinking "hey this guy is an idiot". |

Please. Third parties without a lot of money are not heard by a majority of americans.

How many Americans could even name more than 2 third parties? Nevermind have any idea what their platforms are. Third parties are ignored because they're automatically seen as irrelevant, because they aren't part of the Big 2. The rise of nearly ANY third party, as long as it wasn't extremist, would be good for America. |

They usually are extremists. The green party, the natural law party, etc. There are hundreds of third parties that have a specific agenda, usually dismantaling or setting up new laws. |

The green party is extremist? I wouldn't say so...maybe by American standards. But then we've had a right-wing government compared to the rest of the world for so long, the middle-ground looks radical in comparison.
And they plan on repealing existing laws and passing new ones? That's their JOB, that's what they do. I would certainly hope that's what they plan on. |

Actually, I kind of hope he doesn't, now that I think about it. It's not that I care so much about HIM running (he has no chance anyway, so who cares?), but his followers are annoying and creepy.
You hear people talking now about the Obama/Messiah complex, but the Paulites were WAY worse about that - the only reason they didn't get as much attention is that there were so few of them, relatively speaking.

he's the only pol ive seen who talks any sense. He's either a huge fraud or a good, sensible man. I think he's a good man.

It seems pretty extreme to use their pet issue to set policy across the board.

No. I don't want to have to listen to you (Kiki) drooling over him for another year. Plus he'll lose again anyway, so it's a waste of money.

definitely...even though I doubt he could win, I would like to see him in the 2012 republic debates so he can call out the mainstream candidates on their bs rhetoric like he did in 08.

I'd like to see other candidates call Paul out for his racism and homophobia, on that note...
