Who in the hell is donating to Ron Paul on December 16th for the biggest...
Trauma-san:
He has no chance of winning. He wants to be the guy to turn around the corruption, so he wants to go against what every other politician in Washington D.C. stands for. When they passed the budget yesterday, there were at least 9,000 earmark pieces in it for little pet projects. 9000! Do you honestly think that the U.S. Congress, the Democratic Party, and the Republican Party is going to give up on 9000 government programs that they've promised to their constituents? HELL NO, Washington's a big Cash Barbecue and anybody that tries to summarily dismiss it in 1 fell swoop isn't going to get near the picnic.
He has no intentions of winning. He's a brilliant man but he's only tring to raise attention to the problem. Outside of his inability to win, I agree with most of his points and his platform.

He may not have much of a chance but I don't think he has no intention of winning. Clearly Ron Paul alone wil do nothing, but if he were to win then you'd see congressmen and senators with his philosophies popping up everywhere and by the 2010 elecetions they would be ready to take the senate and by 2012 take over the senate. That is the ideal plan. IF Paul were to win you wouldn't see any real turn arounds until his econd term when congress and the senate would be on his side. Then you'd see the beginning of the turn around for America and a lot of the rest of the world. Those are all big IFs though. Hopefully the least we'll get out of this is his ideals spreasding to more and more candidates and one day a more electable candidate will emerge on the same platform
Primo:
I beg to differ. It think He has a good shot at the primaries.

If you don't think he's running to win, then you don't fundamentally understand. Also, don't you know the whole "yeah, but he can't win" was officially played out 6 months ago? That was relevant before he raised 18 million dollars, has converted approimately 10% of Bush supporters and has literally unkonwn supporters amongst independants and ex Republicans. Paul absolutely can win.
You have zero balls if you don't support him because you don't think he can win. You probably lose regularly in life.
