Do you REALLY think Ron Paul could become President of the US?

By: Daniel Chubb | November 6, 2007 | 38 Comments

Ron Paul

I know most of the web loves Ron Paul and we have covered a lot of news on him in the past with most of it being positive about Ron Paul, but I just find it hard to believe that Ron Paul could really make it to President of the US.

Most of the comments we get are from people who are backing Ron Paul, listening too many of his videos I love his fresh view on politics.

With my opinion of the world of politics being very controlled to the point that the public do not always get what they want, what’s your opinion?

Do you REALLY think Ron Paul could become President of the US?

    Are you registered Republican?

    Will you vote for Ron Paul in your State’s primary in 2 months.

    If you do, Ron Paul could be the next President of the United States.

  • Rolland

    Absolutely. His message resonates when heard, and his record is absolute proof that the message is genuine. Very electable!

  • Mark

    Not only can he, he must if we are to return to the priciples that made this nation the envy of the world, today we have been overrun by outside puppetry, Dr. Paul is the only one not bought and paid for.

    Simple, he wins or our country loses forever the opportunity to honor our ancestors with quality in the executive branch.

  • Mark

    Absolutely. I think he’ll actually win it by a landslide. Think about this: Main stream polling has Ron Paul at 2% nationwide. If their numbers are right, then Ron Paul just broke the GOP single day fundraising record with a base that is a fraction of what the front-runners boast. Imagine what he could do once more people wake up to his message.

    The next fundraiser is already starting to get organized:

    What percentage of the American public want out of Iraq? What percentage of them consider it the No 1 issue? Which presidential candidate is offering them what they are asking for?

    Pretty obvious why Ron Paul is getting traction, don’t you think?

  • http://www.RonPaul2008.com Bill K

    No. I think the American people are fairly stupid after years of being dumbed down by a failing education system, and that only an act of God will wake them up to the fact that Ron Paul is founding father material, and the right one to lead us out of bondage. He’s the Moses of our day…”Let my people go!”

    I’d love to see him as President. Hey you…hey dummy…hey average American…wake up.

  • http://ilovetheconstitution.blogspot.com/ badmedia

    no, I don’t think he can win. I know he will win. Because he represents real american values, and the media doesn’t show it. The so called media polls everyone likes to cite, only poll about 350-500 people, and they only call people who voted in the 2004 primaries. As Bush was a lock for the republican nomination, only the diehard bush fans voted(the turnout for the primaries was the lowest in history). So the entire calling pool from which they get those people is from less than 6% of the population, and then a small number from that even. They are called “scientific” under the assumption that those would be the only people to vote in the next primary. Every other measure, which is not narrowed down to such a small number of select individuals, or buying up massive amounts of votes, Ron Paul wins despite the obvious bias from the corporate media.

    He is winning by a long shot, and everybody knows it, but they haven’t given up yet, and they know all is lost the minute it is known he is winning, as they lose all their BS talking points calling supporters spammers, kids in a basement and what not. All of which is proven untrue if you look at youtube videos of rallys, but they are hoping people don’t see that.

    I supported a libertarian candidate in 2004. I know exactly what 1 and 2% support is like. The difference between then and now is like night and day.

  • http://AlexMerced Alex Merced

    If any of the following is a sign, He’ll Win:

    - STRAW POLL results
    - FundRaising
    - Event Turnout
    - Online and Text Message Polling
    - Volunteer Base
    (note: even if you don’t trust online polls, he’s dominated the OFFLINE straw polls)

    Why?

    Cause the straw polls internalize “New Voters” which make up ROn Pauls base, the disenfranchised and young who didn’t vote last time.

    The Rasmussen/Gallup Polls only poll “likely voters” by landline which brings up two issues:

    - who are likely voters (the six percent of registered of republican voters who voted in the 2004 primaries)

    - are landlines still an effective way to get people, and how many of these people are willing to participate in phone polls and how representative are they.

    It’s safe to say that the “likely voter” pool is made up of neo-cons since there was only one person on the ballot at the 2004 primaries giving little reason for anyone else to come vote.

    Ron Paul does not serve the Neo-Agenda, so that he has any piece of the Rasmussen/Gallup polls is amazing.

  • E Philipp

    Absolutely! With over 30,000 donors participating in this effort, this shows incredible mass support that if they are dedicated enough to send cash, ought to be dedicated enough to vote! The Ron Paul campaign is about the Message. Ron Paul himself is just the honest guy behind the message–his integrity shines with his voting record. I will vote for him–He doesn’t want the job, the office, title or the secret service–he wants to serve the country.

  • http://www.myspace.com/jasonmitchell43 Jason

    He just raised more than $4 million dollars in a day, and his trajectory is heading up, not down, so yes, he has a better chance than “front runner” John McCain right now. Plus, he supporters will be in every voting booth to vote without question. If there is snow, or it is cold out, Romney and Giuliani’s people won’t show up. They arent empassioned like we are, and the passion is spreading.

  • Jeremy W

    God i hope so. We need this guy in office if our country wants to stop sucking.

  • jess

    Yes he is the next president. ;)

  • Michael Wagner

    “Dumbed down by a failed education system?” That’s a laugh. The education system in America is extremely successful. It is doing exactly what it was designed to do: create a generation of people who cannot think for themselves.
    Unfortunately for the “powers that be” the internet is here and we are finally able to not only find the truth, but we are able to find each other and organize.
    Ron Paul consistently wins straw polls. He has now won 20 of the 40 polls, and 10 of the last 12. He has beaten every other GOP candidate far more often than they have beaten him in these polls. These straw polls are real people showing up at events to vote, they are the same people who will be showing up to vote in primaries.
    Ron Paul has by far the largest all volunteer army of active supporters of any candidate. These volunteers have already raised his name recognition through thousands of events nationwide. Now they are poised to start the real nitty-griity work of door to door canvassing. We will be knocking of the door of every registered Republican asking them to vote for Ron Paul. The other candidates have to hire there help, Ron Paul inspires his.
    Of course Ron Paul will win. There is no other Hope for America.

  • Immigrant Guy

    Ron Paul wins straw poll after straw poll and debate after debate. The media fear him.Lets face it Ron Paul is possibly the most popular candidate running. Just because the mainstream media doesn’t say so, that really doesn’t mean anything. Also skewed polls that only poll people with land line phones paint a very inaccurate picture…no wonder they keep getting things wrong and being surprised at his results. Ron Paul is the last of the traditional conservatives, the liberals Giuliani and Romney are simply fakes trying to sell non-conservatism. Ron Paul is going to win the Republican nomination…..every time I hear someone doubt him it just reaffirms in my mind that he has a very strong chance at being the next president. If he was not a threat then people would have no reason to fear or doubt him.

    There is a very small group of people who run this country. Not the American people. And nearly all Americans believe this. Ron Paul’s popularity is a testament to this fact. Paul has never been a Washington insider – he won’t cooperate with the “machine”. No I don’t think Paul can be elected because Americans in general, are not smart enough to vote for such a man. I figure the smear campaign will really get going now.

  • Darryl Schmitz

    “Do you REALLY think Ron Paul could become President of the US?”

    Yes…Yes, I do.

  • Brian

    How could he be any worse than what we’ve had in the last 7 years? Or any worse than McGiuliomneyson?

  • kathy

    I Know that we need him if our country is to servive.I only wish that the people that have donated money would hit the media with the same numbers with the insistance of the truth about this man. Then More people will get out and vote for him.
    We need a true American in office not a puppet. We also need a law disalowing the Lobbiest to Discontinue the problem that they have caused in the election process.

  • Cal Mabus

    Haven’t you heard…Everyone is voting for Ron Paul! Where have you been? Time to Wake Up. No one is voting for the other guy. They can’t win! Spread the news!

  • Brad Linzy, Evansville, IN

    Yes he WILL win. This is our last shot and we’re not about to let it go.

    Short of rigging the election, the rest do not stand a chance at standing up to Ron Paul on an even playing field, i.e. without constant biased or non-existent reporting from the media and underhanded fund-raising schemes like the recent one by Fred Thompson (which is the only way he can raise money without begging for it from the 20 people who attend his “rallys”).

    The only chance the military industrial complex and international bankers at the Federal Reserve have is to shoot him, and I don’t think they want a REAL revolution on their hands. More likely they will just concede defeat in the elections and hedge their bets in congress – they seem to be having plenty of success finding morons and traitors of the Constitution there.

    AREN’T YOU TIRED OF:
    The war with Iraq and impending war with Iran?
    Working long hours with no overtime and no benefits?
    Overtaxation?
    The stranglehold on our civil liberties?
    Hearing how we should be afraid of everything?
    Paying at the gas pump?
    The list goes on and on.

    Ron Paul has never:
    voted to raise taxes.
    voted for an unbalanced budget.
    voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
    voted to raise congressional pay.
    taken a government-paid junket.
    voted to increase the power of the executive branch.

    He voted against the Patriot Act.
    He voted against regulating the Internet.
    He voted against the Iraq war.

    He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
    He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.

    Vote for Ron Paul to make America, AMERICA AGAIN!

  • Natalie

    Of course Ron Paul will win the presidency in 2008! No one else stands a chance! 4 million in one day baby!

  • http://www.allenboe.com Allen

    I think he can win. His biggest hurdle is getting the GOP nomination. The general election will be a landslide victory for him because non of the Democratic front runners can argue his record or his position without looking like fools in their own party. He voted against going into IRAQ, Hillary didn’t. He voted against the latest funding for the War, Obama didn’t. He wants to keep us out of entangling military involvement in all these countries we’ve been meddling with for years. Edwards doesn’t he’s CFR. Paul wants to reduce the cost of health care by offering choices and competition into the market. All the Dems want is to make it look free, while sucking as much money as they can from the poor and middle class. So yes I really do think Ron Paul can win this thing. People just need to wake up from their fear and believe that the foundation this country was built upon will still work for them.

    I’m Allen Boe and you can count my vote for Ron Paul. X

    They say that every generation should have a revolution to be in touch with with themselves and their way of government.

    ALL Americans treasure their freedom and their rights, no matter how far from actually knowing what that means, and how much they have grown up with facist governmental branches.

    Ron Paul advocates the message of Freedom. THIS is OUR revolution. This is how people tell the government how far removed from it they are.

    Our constitution tells us, that when we have bad government we must rise up and take it out. When the people realize that it is US who are the true power of the country, and NOT government the republic stands.

    Ron Paul not only can win with his message, He WILL win. The country truly loves this man because he speaks truth for the American people. Truth always wins. People are waking up and realizing that government is only too eager to relieve the American citizens of their liberties and their freedoms. We are not a country of government rule and we never will be.

    Last night RON PAUL made history. No other candidate can boast that. The money he raised shows just how much people support him. The money, all 4.2 million dollars came from regular people not corporate entities. Mitt Romney was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. His money comes from himself.

    YES RON PAUL CAN WIN !

  • Mick Russom

    I’ve never said this before, but I’m already working on New Zealand and Australia to move out of this terrorist-government-run country if Ron Paul doesn’t win. We pay socialist taxes and get perpetual war. I may as well pay socialist taxes somewhere else.

    Ron Paul not only has a big chance to win, he HAS to win, and the American People know this now.

  • Klutometis

    I think we’re ready for a radical return to the principles that made this country first-world; I’ll put it this way: if you fail to vote for him in the primaries, we’re going to get someone who will bankrupt this joint post-haste and compel China to cash in their chips, effectively owning the land.

  • Fortnighte

    The very idea of “electability” is an interesting one, in that, WE THE PEOPLE determine someone’s “electability.”

    It’s not the polls, or MSM or…whatever. It’s US!

    The object of an election is to put into practice, at the governmental level, the ideals, that are consistent with the U.S. Constitution, I as a voter/taxpayer/American citizen deem beneficial to me personally and me corporately (being a legal citizen who cares deeply about my country).

    It’s really quite simple: if enough of US decide that we want our government operating under such-and-such ideals, and we vote based on that desire (not the “lesser of two evils”), it can and does happen.

    History, recent and not-so-recent, is replete with examples of “underdogs” triumphing: “Navy Beats Notre Dame, Ending 44-Year Losing Streak” (Nov. 3, 2007); “Appalachian State 34, No. 5 Michigan 32” in “one of the greatest upsets in college football history….” (Sept. 1, 2007); in early-2003, Joe Lieberman was leading the field for the Democratic Presidential nomination yet failed to win any primary; in early-1991 Bill Clinton was at 2% and went on to win the Presidency; in early-1975 Jimmy Carter was polling at 1% and went on to win the Presidency.

    Would to God that we as citizens would approach the election process with the fervor, intensity and no-holds-barred approach that we can see in life’s other activities. I can assure you that, although some members of the Navy and Appalachian State teams had their doubts, they were encouraged to believe in themselves and to make the best possible effort they could, being unwilling to settle for anything less than that best effort.

    No, no, NO, folks! Our job as U.S. citizens and patriots is not to “pick a winner,” which seems to me to be a view which trivializes our opportunity and responsibility as citizens. We’re to carefully consider all our options and then vote based on what is best for our COUNTRY!

    One by one, as each of us decides that our vote IS important and that we are modern stewards of this great country, for which so many have given so much, THEN we begin to realize what we must do.

    For me, that means expending whatever resources I can to make right what so many have worked so hard to destroy: my country…the United States of America. This great land deserves nothing less than the best I have to give. Can I truly call myself a “patriot” having done less than I could for this great country? What kind of American am I to see an opportunity to install into the White House a man with demonstrable and impeccable credentials and then do little to nothing to forward that effort?

    No! I will have no part whatsoever in sitting idly by as others who, in the name of God or Money or “Compassionate Conservatism” or “Honor” or whatever do their utmost to denigrate and dissolve this great country…MY country! RON PAUL for President! Viva la Revolución!

    P.S. If someone doesn’t like the way the U.S. was designed to operate and opposes a return to that way of thinking and governance, I politely suggest they find another country that DOES provide all the services and care they desire from their government. (“Paging a Mr. Robert Altman and Mr. Alec Baldwin…Final boarding call for any and all flights departing America….”) But that is NOT the way the U.S. was designed and I, and millions of others, intend on returning the U.S. to it’s roots…it’s Constitutional roots.

  • William Wallace

    It is refreshing to see my fellow Americans finally waking up to the circumstances they are in. Even if 1 billion dollars is raised for truth and freedom, even if every thinking non-robotic person wakes up and supports Dr. Paul, even if every MSM media scumbag article is challenged on the facts by hundreds of people who see the facts, IT WILL ALL BE FOR NOTHING if we do not take back the voting system to open transparent fairness.

    Electronic voting machines are a part of the foundation of the establishment’s control. The tyrants can safely sit behind phony poll results as a screen for the fraud they will pull on election day. The establishment foresaw that a certain percentage of Americans would start to awaken as the tyranny became more obvious. Unless you want all your work to go down the drain you MUST do something about the electronic voting machines. The system can crank in any result they want.

    50 lawsuits in the 50 sates are in the process of being filed that demand the decertification of electronic, paperless voting machines like the Diebold system. Please check out the votefraud org also VoteInSunshine and the National Clean Elections Lawsuit: “N-CEL” for more details about this vital subject. Time is short. I pray it is not too late for all of us!

    But the news keeps telling me he can’t win, and that his supporters are just guys living in their mom’s basements?!
    If you can’t trust NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX, who can you trust?

  • Bob Moore

    Yes. The tide is starting to turn. My business partner, a neocon and the last one I ever expected to give money to the Paul campaign, did give money yesterday. His rationale: he’s the only one that will drive both parties crazy when in office.

    I don’t particularly like hard-core neocons but I see the moderates coming to their senses and recognizing that the only small government Republican that can beat any of the DEmocrats is Ron Paul. Once a few of them start to realize that Paul is a true patriot with the interests of the people at heart they will start converting and bringing their moderate friends with them. That will leave the hard-core neocon lunatics out in the cold where they belong.

    Yes, Ron Paul with be President and I’m looking forward to the partisans on both side of the aisle trying to scramble for cover as they are each identified as treasonous bastards over the next eight years.

    Vote with your conscience. Don’t listen to who will win who’s electable and who has the most money. Ron Paul supporters don’t care about any of that. It’s the message of freedom that should matter and nothing else. TAKE BACK AMERICA! VOTE RON PAUL!

  • http://mickrussom.blogspot.com Mick Russom

    Yes, he is the next POTUS unless the CFR types have him killed (See JFK for what happens with modern populist presidents).

    I’m leaving the USA if he doesnt win. I may as well pay socialist taxes to a government and not fund perpetual war.

  • Gary

    I like his politics, I like his economics and I like his understanding of how the world works.

    You you get down to it, most important of all, he is a decent human being. When is the last time you had a chance to vote for someone like that?

    V for Victory!

    Ron Paul said today at the rally in Philly that he used to be skeptical, but after the huge crowd at the rally today, he is skeptical no longer. I have every confidence in Ron Paul and no matter what others might think, I have all the confidence in the world in our founding fathers and the constitution. If you don’t understand it, you cannot hold the governments feet to the fire. Let the sparks fly ! RON PAUL IS HERE !

    Of course he can win! Haven’t you heard…no ones voting for Thompcon, he can’t win. No ones voting for Gulie, (s)he can’t win. No ones voting for Mormandy, he can’t win…don’t you know all their supporters live in bombbunkers! Everyone else is voting for Ron Paul! Why you ask? Because we live in America and care.

  • badunit

    Not if CRIMINALS count our vote.

  • J dub

    The men behind the curtain have already decided who the next pres. will be. The elections are just a song and dance to make you feel like your vote counts.

    The good news is that the word is getting out through Ron P. that gov. can and should be different. This means that people who never cared because they lost hope in our country start to care and maybe in the future will make a difference. Even if they have to assassinate Ron, heaven forbid, the masses of young people who are waking up could change the future. That is of course if the neocons don’t succeed in creating a total police state by then, and lock up all dissenters.

    Having said that, I still am going to vote for Ron Paul come hell or high water.
