U.S. Presidential hopeful Ron Paul turned the grand age of 72 on August 20th, however the Texas congressman will be restraining from the grand celebrations until August 26th when he will be attending his Birthday BBQ bash.
A BBQ bash in honor of Ron Paul has been organized by his campaign team and is set to commence at the Doyle Convention Center in Texas City, Texas and all Ron Paul supporters are invited to attend this birthday celebration.
Ron Paul appears to be an online favorite, partly because of more freedoms and less regulation of the Internet, however he is trailing in the polls with the Republican CNN Opinion Research Corporation Poll showing him receiving only 1% of the vote.
At the age of 72 is Ron Paul too old to be the next U.S. President?

Dr. Paul will be getting my vote.
I turned 53 today, am I too old to vote?
A vote for Ron Paul is not only sensible, it’s imperative for any American who professes to want freedom. I don’t want a police state as is being created under the pretext of fighting terrorists. If Ron Paul wins, we have a chance to remain a free republic. If not, we’re doomed.
Not too old.
Has my vote.
If you are Ted, then I am too.
It’s hard to win a polls that are skewed or only poll the “right” people. Just because MSM says there’s no showing doesn’t mean a thing.
Ron Paul too old to be the next U.S. President?
He’s a doctor! I think they all live into their 90s now.
Granted, he would be the oldest president ever elected, so a vast lifetime of experience, consistent libertarian principles, and healthy living will get my vote every time.
He’ll be getting my vote too.
By the way, if you discredit internet popularity entirely, you’ll have to discredit that 1% poll too. Otherwise it’s pretty inconsistent.
I’ve been increasingly loosing faith in the national phone polls. They may well be becoming obsolete, as they certainly don’t represent what I’ve seen in life, or on the internet which seems more in touch with the people. Probably because it is the people.
Also let us not forget the local Straw Polls. It’s a bit hard to find this information on the MSM, so here is a link to a site that tallys his results so far.

Anyways, Ron will certainly be getting my vote as well. Age is irelavant, what matters is the ideals of the canidate, and how well he can be trusted to stick by them. Ron has firmly won me over on both counts.
Ted, you made me laugh!! That’s right. As long as you are alive and as sharp as Ron Paul, you bet he is not too old to be President. In Bush’s cases, he was younger but look at what a mess he created. Age is not the important factor here folks. Why would anyone even suggest that? Who the hell is Simon anyway?

You can die at any age. For Ron Paul 72 definitely not too old. He would get my vote at 80.
